Damn Hatton, why why why!!!

[The Shadow]

Why after catching a check left from "lil floyd" wouldnt he learn to stop lunging in? Why wouldn't he learn to put his hands up? Why wouldnt he learn to move his big head if he's going to walk right in?

I picked Hatton to win thinking he would learn these things with Sr in his corner...I picked him hoping floyd wouldnt take the easy fight with the smaller pacman...hoping that floyd would give shane the shot, but after seeing the improvement in pac's game...I'd say pacman and mosley are now the biggest threats to floyd...

Marquez only stands a chance if floyd's timing is off and manages to win enough early rounds..but i think floyd stops him late if he isnt rusty.

Let see it all at the end of the year...

any of those would be fine by me...

I don't know how anyone could have possibly conceived Hatton pulling this fight off. Either you don't know boxing that well, or you were using your heart more than your brain because you're a Hatton fan.
I despised Hatton for a long time after the fiasco with the Tszyu fight, which I think still goes down in boxing history as a top 10 miscarriage of the sport of sports. But after watching the 24/7 of Hatton vs. Mayweather, I actually started liking him as a person: Respectful, mild-mannered, grateful and loyal to his fans, etc. I wanted to see him put a hurting on Mayweather like nobody's business, but I KNEW it wouldn't happen. I knew that Hatton couldn't hang with that caliber of a fighter.
To the point: Pacquiao is a phenom - plain and simple. Hattons' style was tailor made for Pacquiao. Ricky has always had a suspect chin, as I gathered when he fought Eamon MaGee - or how ever you spell that name - and got knocked down by what appeared to be a glancing blow.
In all honesty, I thought it would have been a bit more competitive with Hatton trying to BOX and HOLD, which would have been the sensible thing to do. Instead, he came in with the same mauling, aggressive style against a fighter much stronger, more talented and just a far better athlete.
People can blame Hatton; they can blame Mayweather Sr.; they can blame the cornermen, and I could go on and on. In the end, it only boils down to one thing: this was a shite situation for Hatton to take a fight against this caliber of an opponent. I think D.L.H. -- Yes, the D.L.H. that got pummeled by Pac-Man, would have beat Hatton the same night.
Its unfortunate that this 'business' doesn't reward people with character and good, humanistic qualities, but that isn't what boxing is about.
I'm just glad that Hatton lost to such a humble man. If Mayweather would have pulled such a destruction off, you wouldn't hear the end of it for a year.
I think Ricky is best served by considering retirement. Although I think he could win a title in his division again, I worry about K.O.'s that brutal and the toll they take on a fighters brain. I found no joy in seeing that happen to him. I felt really bad for Hatton and would have liked to have seen him last the full fight, but everything in me instinctually said that it would be a very short night for Ricky.
Hatton shouldn't be embarrassed, though. He gave it his best shot against one of the greatest fighters I've ever seen in any weight division. It took a pair of Iron Balls to step into that ring, and in the end you can't take that away from Hatton.
Hatton should still keep his chin high. But if he continues to box, tuck that damn thing in when fighting and learn how to be a bit more of a defensive boxer. Offense without effective defensive is easily exposed. This fight is a prime example of that.

P.S.- Mayweather Sr. proves time and time again that he's the laughing stock of the boxing community. I think Hatton should have attempted to lull McGuigan into training him. Why he chose Mayweather Sr. is beyond me, but the ultimate outcome would have been the same. It just might have lasted a little bit longer.

I was trying to get into the brain of PBF..i was looking past this fight to mayweather's return because i didnt for one second think he was retired. So i figure if hatton beats pacman, there's no way on earth floyd will give pacman a shot. So I was thinking he might just give Shane the fight. But it kinda worked out..because before the fight I would pick floyd to stop pacman late...now i feel a little different. I expect him to stop him late but with a few bruises this time. But I think that fight is a year away because after floyd and JMM fight to a 115-113 split there will be a rematch.
