    I don't see how this fight was boring, it was very fast paced, Mayweather landed good combination as it went along, was landing potshots effectively, but Hatton's speed and pressure were giving him trouble. Floyd outfought Hatton on the inside, outside, everywhere in the ring. I think he adopted a particular style to deal with Hatton's speed, but Floyd fights everyone differently, look at his last 4 fights,
    1. Zab Judah: He came forward with his hands up.
    2. Carlos Baldomir: Hands down used a lot of movement to throw Carlos off.
    3. Oscar De La HOya: basically used a lot of the jab, but used a lot less movement and stood in there and fought well defensively off the ropes.
    4. He potshotted Hatton, but made sure to tie Hatton up by ducking under his first punch and holding on. Hatton's tactics on the inside are as illegal as Floyd's elbows, and both were cautioned for using them. Floyd really implemented that check hook and lead right hand in this fight.

    I tend to remember the fight more like this too, but i try not to look to hard at any of the crap that doesnt count, I ignore the hugs but count the smothers on the way in as smart play and Im back looking for what happens immediatley either side of the hugs, if they break on their own accord.
    Its one I wouldn't watch again though for all points Diz brought up about it.

    It was a good fight in bursts.Ring general ship on Floyds behalf too, getting to choke out Rickys attempts even the way he did.
    Cortez did look like he was there for only one fighters protection though.
    Still it wouldn't have made much difference to the outcome if he had of just stood back for longer, it would of just got dirtier and Floyd would have gone the old fashioned glove to elbow defence on the way in etc then acting like it was an accident, he is capable of being sly and nasty if need be too.

    I can explain it.
    But I cant understand it for you.
