The Hate for Ricky Hatton is unreal!!

[Phil]

Im sorry but some of you guys especially Americans are unbelievable it wasn't a great performance against a tricky bigger south paw, i didnt see 10% of the bullshit Ricky is getting for exposed Americans like Jeff Lacy, but Ricky Hatton has an off night and it's lets slag him off as much as possible, it is beyond pathetic.

He won and it was alot closer than alot of you guys think, there are at least 5 rounds which i wouldnt argue with any of the two guys getting, lets judge Ricky after he settles in at 147, i mean Floyd looked good in his 147 debut against a 140 lb has been, so lets sit back and see what happens.

Whoooooooaaaaaaa there....You're comparing Hatton-Collazo to Calzaghe-Lacy? no comparison...Calzaghe is an excellent Boxer/Puncher....Hatton is a puncher/brawler at 140....don't get it twisted...Floyd's loss of hand speed was not noticable and he still has his power....Hatton looked slowww....Hatton's style is all wrong for bigger better fighters that know how to box.....and NEVER hurt Collazo....and the biggest factor of all for those that think Hatton is bigger than Floyd...Floyd is 5-8 with a 72" reach...Hatton is 5-6 with a 65" reach....Floyd can and will become a true welterweight...Hatton doesn't have the frame to effectively carry the extra weight....Hatton was succumbing to all the hits he took against Collazo and was out on his feet an very easily could and should have been KO instead he was able to hold on for dear life...he can't get out of the way of punches at this weight....Not only has this never happened to PBF he is as slick as he was at 140....Floyd didn't EAT his way to 147 he trained to get to 147.....Lacy was overhyped and still a little green to get in the ring with the likes of Calzaghe......Hatton was overhyped as well....Collazo won that fight...We'll see who wins in the rematch...

Get what twisted

PBF can grow into the weight but Hatton cant?? How do you work that one out?? HATTON IS THE BIGGER MAN!!! So is corrlaes bigger than Tyson because he has a bigger height and reach difference?? Ricky is naturally bigger than Floyd. Also the compasions between the two fights wasnt the styles you muppet, try and read the thread next time before you comment, i was talking about the reaction of so called boxing fans, i was pointing out Hatton has got more stick than Lacy got and the difference being Ricky won and Lacy lost every round, my point was there is a bit of American told you so all over this, nothing to do with the styles.

my reply was to the fact you think Hatton had an off night...he didn't...he finally stepped up in competition and had it handed to him....And as for hatton being bigger than Floyd your nuts...Floyd is broader than Hatton hence the 7 inch reach advantage....it's not just about arm reach it also includes finger tip to finger tip......So lets see.. Floyd is TALLER and WIDER!!! what the h*ll are you looking at Hatton with a magnifying glass? hatton looked SMALL agains Collazo...He will look SMALL compared to PBF...and to try to throw in a Corrales/Tyson comment? that was so far off it merits no additional response....

fingertip to fingertip could just means his arms are longer, it doesn't mean he has a bigger frame
