To this point I am not so sure what to think of the fight....did Floyd allow for Ricky to fight his fight only to humiliate him later on OR did Ricky just do a good job of pressuring Floyd?

Floyd is still a great boxer but fighting Ricky Hatton never seemed to me to be as big of a challenge as fighting Miguel Cotto.....I don't mind it and I can fault him but I am still wondering if Floyd just handicapped the fight or he actually had trouble.....Floyd didn't run as much that's for sure but it just sort of gets my mind working on it because he looked FAAAAAAR from spectacular in the early to middle rounds, rounds 8 and 9 he looked very good, like he should have the entire fight.
Hatton landed flush about 5 or 6 times the whole fight. He landed only 18% of his punches. I think Mayweather defense was outstanding. But the point of this thread is not to give Mayweather his due. It's about one poster (Big Dan) who ran his mouth a lot before the fight to give Mayweather his due.
I wouldn't have given Hatton a single round, he maybe scored a couple even's but that was it.

As for Dan's disappearance, before the fight he was getting on his moral highhorse saying that people who wanted Floyd to win were showing their true colours as supporters of evil.

Now the righteous and honest Ricky Hatton has been ktfo by the antichrist loud mouth braggard his whole world has probably turned upside down.

I think he was expecting God's judgement on Floyd for his wickedness but instead he blessed him with his best KO ever and the new most popular avatar on the internet
I think Mayweather ruined Hatton and Dan at the same time
Well maybe they can get together and cuddle Ricky should fight his brother Matthew for his next fight
