I like Hatton, but he got wooped by Floyd. Nothing to be ashamed of, everyone else that has fought floyd has lost.

Every fighter cheats. Hatton cheats, last time I checked holding was as illegal as elbowing and butting. I also seem to recall Hatton landing a well-placed shot to Tszyu's balls, among his many other infractions.
None of that changes the fact that PBF is better than Hatton in every facet of the game. I like Hatton, I was hoping against all logic and reason that he could beat PBF, but if they fought 10 times, PBF would win 10 times, regardless of who the ref was.

Part of being a great fighter is mental composure (otherwise Zab would probably be on the P4P lists), Hatton displayed a clear defficiency in that department in the PBF fight. Floyd out-thought Hatton and out-fought him (didn't mean for that to rhyme).
How would Hatton have beaten PBF? Hatton looked good early, but so have a good deal of Floyd's opponents. Mayweather often starts slow in order to adapt to his opponents style. Hatton is smaller and slower than PBF, with a weaker chin, and he is less able to adapt. In addition to the other inequalities between the fighters; the odds were against him from the beginning.
Have you ever considered that it is Hatton's own fault that he has a reputation for being a dirty, hold and hit fighter? It's not like people developed that notion on their own, Hatton has demonstrated it time and again.
Floyd won by knocking Hatton down with a left-hook and by jumping on him when he was hurt, I'm not sure how that's cheating. Another part of being a complete fighter is knowing what to do when your bell is wrung, something else that Hatton demonstrated he was unable to do. As I've said, I like Hatton, but he's always going to be a step below PBF skill-wise, that's nothing to be ashamed of, so is every other fighter today.

Hatton lost his focus when the ref was being a cunt yeah but no one can say that was the main contributing factor to the loss, hatton was dominated pretty much throughout the fight even before he got angry. He threw more than floyd, yet practically none was landing.
Still, he has nothing to be ashamed of, he got in the ring with the best in the world and he gave a good fight, I think he'll bounce back in style but I don't think he'll ever defeat Floyd, infact I don't think anyone will.
