I don't doubt Floyd's ability but to say he breezed through a fight with Hatton is just as ridiculous as saying he breezed through the fight vs Oscar....he had trouble with both of them....no not like the Castillo fight but he didn't have an easy go of it....he didn't dominate them the way he dominated Corrales!
And yes I watched the entire fight and Floyd's inability to land serious punches or avoidance of landing hard punches until later in the fight cost him. Ricky won most rounds on my scorecard on ring generalship (controlling the pace) and effective aggression (ie he made Mayweather fight his fight)....or Floyd just decided not to fight his own fight...either way he didn't impress me as he has in the past.
I'm not saying Rick was whipping his a** but Ricky was winning rounds and he was in the fight until he got rocked with that one solid right cross...and he pressed too hard after the foul. I still had Ricky down by 1 round going into the 10th
