did we miss something with the hatton mayweather fight?

[:::PSL:::]

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

Good to see you back mate!

I thought Hatton did well in the first half of the fight, but he fell apart when he was faced with some advesity and got frusterated. However, not many people can face PBF and not get frusterated. He's much more suited to 140, like others have said - he's just too small for 147.

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

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....

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!!

At elbowing and headbutt's I agree, check out Danny's vids he made, Floyd is "Counterfit Money".

[Unknowndonor]

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.

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.

I disagree, Floyd only won by cheating and the dodgy ref, if Hatton wouldn't have had the point took off then he wouldn't have started rushing in getting tagged so easy, he lost his focus after the point deduction and yet the shot never even landed

So it's the ref's fault he lost focus?

The point deduction, Hatton even admitted that after the fight coz then he started chasing the fight.

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

I think it was a check hook that made him lose focus

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.
