Why doesn't Hatton keep his hands up?

[Wayne]

As a fighter who always comes forward I have no idea why Hatton doesn't keeps his hands up coming forward anymore... Against Mayweather I can understand not being able to keep with Floyd without dropping your hands a little, but against guys like Lazcano, Urango, etc he was getting hit by guys 5 times slower than him. Also what happen to that lateral movement he used to use when his opponent was on the ropes? Its like he isn't even the same guy, and I don't get how he's getting technically worse, you would think a knockout would knock some sense back into him and fix his mistakes, but it hasn't.

I would also like to add that if he took a little off the gas peddle coming forward and picked his oppertunities better I could see HAtton fighting still for a long time, he is still incredibly fast, and when he isn't coming in blindly he's a lot harder to hit. I hope he can change his mentality to better suit a longer career.

I don't know what you're talking about. Hatton already does a great job of blocking punches with his face.

It's worked for him all but once, if he could figure out a way to block and constantly punch he probably would.
