I really wouldn't call Hatton reckless, as soon as he gets inside he holds on for dear life. To me Floyd takes more chances because he at least tries to evade punches. Ricky just seeks to tie up his opponents so they can't throw any
I know he ain't reckless but a lot of Mayweather's support think he is, and I think HBO would play that card in the marketing. Hatton doesn't hold inside nearly as much as people think he does, he leans on them, and THEY grab him, especially in this fight anyway, and even more so in the Tszyu fight.
