The only thing I think that Hatton has that Oscar didn't was really good foot speed and better technique at least when it comes to pressuring. Hatton also really lacks power which will make it a lot easier for Mayweather than his fight with Oscar.
Thats what bothered me about the Oscar-Floyd fight. Everone kept saying that Oscar was missing Floyd a lot, but I saw Oscar make Floyd miss just as much, maybe more. Oscars defence just doesnt look as slick as Floyd because he doesnt move his head and takes punches on his forearms but his defence was just as effective.
CC - couldn't agree more. Oscar was picking off shots with his gloves and forearms consistently throughout the fight.
Oscar lost. Grow up and deal with it.
I agree that he lost. Just not by the shutout that the PBF fanboys make it out to be. My opinion is that Oscar lost that fight, rather than PBF winning it.
