RP, most dirty fighters don't throw blatant elbows or low blows. They try to mask them. Look at Bernard Hopkins how he hits low and on the thigh during a clinch and has the wherewithal to do it on the opposite side of where the referee is standing so that it can't be seen. The question is, without the illegal stuff, would Hatton have been more effective? That is the question to consider I believe.
After watching both visds I can come to the conclusion Floyd beat Hatton by cheating, use of the elbow and Hatton was against 2 people not one with Mr Cortez practically holding Floyds dick through the fight.
Hatton should have nothing to be ashamed of, he was robbed, end of!!!
Yeah thats exactly how Mayweather beat Hatton, your totally right Mayweather did not set Hatton up perfectly with a check left hook he cheated by KO Hatton
This is getting to be ridiculous now Mayweather beat Hatton at his own game end of. Hatton was even worse in his fight with Kostya Tszyu but i don't see you complaining about that, maybe because its one rule for one and not for the other ?? Cortez didn't allow Hatton to hug Mayweather and i for one am glad so just get over it. Hatton done his fair share of illegal tactics and if i had the amount of time on my hands that Danny has i could show you all of Hatton's illegal tactics which were just as bad as Mayweather's. And in what way was Hatton robbed ?? he was totally outclassed he won only 2 rounds on my card and he was KO so in what way was he robbed ?? look i know Hatton is one of your favorite fighters but theres sour grapes and then theres ridiculous, Barrera is one of my favorite fighters but i didn't make any excuses when Pacquiao beat him. In fact i gave Pacquiao his credit the next day. I haven't seen you once give Mayweather the credit he deserves for beating Hatton at his own game in a rough house fight. All these Hatton fans were saying Mayweather would run and would get killed on the inside against Hatton, but when Mayweather beats Hatton on the inside in a rough house fight, similar to how Hatton beat Kostya Tszyu, Mayweather is called a cheater and gets no credit i think the word for some of the Hatton fans is HYPOCRITES.

I'm a massive Hatton fan, but I agree with a fair bit of what Ice is saying. Cortez was terrible, but even if it was a different referee, the outcome would have been the same. Hatton was beaten by a fighter who's skills are second to none. All the bitching about it 3 months on is not gunna change the result. Like Hatton said, "fairplay to Floyd, I'd have done the same thing if he could have gotten away with it". You admit that...you can't complain.
Well I can't agree with that mate as what if there was a differnt ref and Ricky was aloud to do his inside work ?? Floyd was uncomfortable with it early on and you never know, the result could have been different if Ricky was actually aloud to fight
Regardless of what Ricky says deep down he will probbably be fuming at Cortez.
