I thought the one way to beat PBF was to push hi out of his comfort zone and get him into a wrestling match where the quality of his speed, reflexes and defence would be diminished. But credit to Floyd, bigger man or not, he stood toe to toe and came out on top.
i also believe the fact that pbf was able to use this tactic and hatton was getting scolded like stealing cookies before dinner led to alot of hattons frustrations
