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
