hbo had hatton up after 6 rounds sky had him one down i said up to round 7. mayweather does not have little power he is so accurate it makes him powerful does de la hoya who was staggered, gatti, corrales have a weak chin are they jokes? that was a really stupid comment

[DaxxKahn]

I rooted for Hatton obviously because he is a decent guy and Mayweather is annoying but truth is I never thought he would win....Sadly enough hoping and knowing it will happen are two different things....I rooted for Gatti as well....

With that being said...Hatton went in with the wrong gameplan...He fell apart and got frustrated....He allowed Floyd to get comfortable....

It seems all of Floyds aopponets seem to do the same thig and try to either outbox him or take his head off with bombs''''''

The way to beat Floyd is fight him dirty...Make it rough....A lot of inside holding etc...If he lays on the ropes don't stand and try to take his head off giving him a chance to counter like he prefers...lay right up on him so he has to lean back and has no room to counter...smother the man....Yet nonone seems to do any of that?

Hatton did no worse then many of Floyds big wins...DLH had the best plan and was doing great until he himself seemed to abandon what was working for no apparent reason...Maybe fatigue?


I do think Hatton got a bum rap by fans for the loss....He lost to the P4P #1 fighter in the world....and for somereason he has been blsted more then any of Floyds other opponenets...Some people are even acting as if Hatton is a 3rd rate fighter all of a sudden.....He has notiing to be ashamed of

[killersheep]

Hatton is a tough fight for anyone up to 140, at 147 he's just too small.

I think he has the potential to be great, but he has to get back on his horse after Lazcano and fight the other top dogs at 140 and forget all this Mayweather nonsense and leave it in his past. If I was Hatton I would call out Judah to come down to 140, barring that Witter or Malignaggi.

I have a hard time calling him a great at the moment, he still has the potential.

Beating Tszyu moved him up to being the real deal, but that's his only win of consequence in the scheme of things, his win over JLC, while impressive was meaningless, he should have been facing Ngoudjo.

I had Hatton winning the fight before the stoppage.

Hatton would of disposed of corrales no problems.

Guy was an excellent counter puncher who gave castillo problems in his prime.

But he wouldnt of lived with hatton, similar style only ricky would of made himself the aggressor and forced corrales into fighting a fight he wouldnt be used to.

The current haters are ten a plenty at the mo, sad really as hatton is one of the few boxers in the world at the moment who can win a genuine world title without being completely on song.

I would not go that far....And I also would not pick Hatton over a Prime Castillo....He beat a shop worn version that was obvious did not really want the fight to begin with....I liike Ricky but he is not as good as you are stating....Many guys in the game that would beat him P4P.....Even at 140 I still say Malignaggi outpoints him....

[leftylee]

Floyd and the ref tag teamed on Ricky, thats why he lost. He'll be back though.

Good to see you back mate!

He lost because Mayweather is a superior fighter in every aspect.

hopefully we will see on the 20th september de la hoya mayweather undercard :P haha how good would that be unfortunetly hatton can top any stage in the world so it wont happen. i think paulie is dangerous for anyone but i think hatton would beat both castillo and corrales with his ability to man handle people at 140. be long hard fights with both though, castillo espeshcialiy (cnt spell lol) corrales mayb 6 or 7 rounds

I don't know about all that...The version of Castillo that fought PBF the first time I can not see Hatton beating.The versions of Corrales and Castillo in their first fight is 1 are ones I don't see Hatton beating either

Castillo took the fight having just come off wins against corrales and ngoudjo. Nobody before the fight questioned his desire to be in the ring with hatton it was only after seeing him out classed by a better opponent and stopped through a beaut of a kidney shot that people began coming up with this ridiculous assesment that jose had just suddenly lost the hunger to win the exact same assesment people came to the same conclusion with when he beat tszyu despite the fact hatton walked through kostyas best punches that night.

Hatton can only beat what is ever infront of him and apart from the P4P king he has done that all his career.

corrales on the other hand - knocked out by castillo outboxed by casamayor and beaten in his final fight by some guy whos name i cant even remember!!

Don't speak ill of the dead, please seriously. And many people questioned Castillo's desire to be in the ring during and after the Ngoudjo fight. He took 9 rounds off, certainly showed no desire, even considering the end result would be a shot at Hatton. Castillo's mind is fully cluttered by a lifetime of paying back debt, he has like 500 kids and has to pay the Corrales family for coming in over-weight for their rubber match.
