IMO Hatton has a bit of Gerry Cooney syndrome....Like Hatton Cooney had a devout fan following that praised him and felt he was better then he really was...(though I am not trying to take away from any of his skills nor Hattons both very good fighters,,,just that their fans seemed to think they were unbeatable)....A lot of pressure to have on your back...besides the already hugh amount of pressure of being a top tier fighter...

When Cooney lost to Holmes it destroyed his psyche....he felt not only like he lost the biggest bout of his career but he let down every supporter that wished him well,,,bet money on him etc....also let him know he was beatable...and when a fighter who is undefeated for so long and so highly thought of they begin to believe their own hype and press....then the loss is effected in the mind the most...

Cooney was never the same fighter after that...IMO unless Hatton recovers soon he will never be the same either...

Hatton will still be a championof course and right now still the best 140lbr in the world but...his mind set may end up costing him fights in the future that he could have won..
