ricky hatton,has he still got it?

Ricky Hatton was never the same after the Tszyu fight...blah blah I know I said it many times I bore myself Training with Floyd might be a good thing for Rickys longevity, should he wish to have 4-5 more fights. For me though, Ricky Hatton is 65% the fighter he was. Before the Tszyu fight he was much more of an animal and twice as hungry.

i think Hatton-Malignaggi fight is a mismatch.. a bully and a cotton fisted..

I wouldnt say its a miss match Pauli is a skilled and fast boxer but he just lacks a punch.

[leggy]

well if hatton likes training with mayweather he wont be doing it much longer if he keeps binging between fights

[kingfrnk]

he should still have some left in the tank. but IF he happens to lose to paulie he might as well retire.

Sorry but i disagree.

He was sloppy in quite a few fights against much weaker opposition than he is facing now. He got away with it because he was 'on the up'. bad performances against the likes of Vilches, Krivolapov....even Maussa. He was also hurt quite a few times earlier on against Quiros, Magee,Phillips and Tackie. But when people see him get hurt now, they say his punch resistance has gone to shit. That's not the case......imo it's never been that fantastic. I've seen him shook quite a few times......just he's managed to survive mainly because he was in there with fighters below his level.

I just think he has had to modify his style slightly because he is fighting much better opposition. I think people need to stop using the Tszyu performance as a yardstick to measure him on.....because he'll never better that performance. To me he's just as good as he's always been.....which is pretty good....but not quite great.
