When Did Hattons Punch Resistance Go?

[J_Undisputed]

They say its the ones you don't see that hurt you. Tszyu's punched weren't hard to see coming (unless you did something stupid like drop your hands and lean back with your chin in the air). Even still he hit like a ton bricks. Hatton was young at that point and absorbed the shots better. Allowing him to stand and trade.

Looking at the Pac and Mayweather fights. Those were the same type of shots. Beautiful short inside shots that an aggressive fighter often never sees coming. One put him on his back and the other probably worthy of 3 concussions from a single punch (if you count the ring post and his head hitting the canvas). Mayweather probably figure Hatton would be a sucker for the punch as did Roach and Pac (if not before watching tape of the Mayweather fight, definitely after). That unfortunately solves Ricky every time apparently. Malignaggi is probably wishing like hell he tried throwing those. Even with limited punching power, he probably could have scored a flash or two.

Now I'm not saying Rickys isn't damaged goods now as far as punch resistance goes. But I think the quality, placement and timing of those shots have a lot to do with it.

The first sentence says it all.

I think Hatton yo-yoing his weight so much may have finally cost him. You could tell even vs Urango and Lazcano he was getting a little more tired at the end of fights....fattening up and trying to make weight is soooo counterproductive, I think that hurt him more than the change in trainers and everything else.

Hatton should have been able to fight at 147 better as well....shame really

Which also explains why Roy Jones lost his jaw.

What you do today affects tommorrow, its an ongoing thing that caught up.

That could be all true, I always thought Hatton had problems with shots he didn't see. Collazo, Mayweather, Lazcano all hit him with shots that he didn't see. The final KO against Pacquiao he just didn't see, he was blind to it and you can see that in some of the avatars here, the earlier punches I don't know. But that was always my impression, all that leaping in from the outside it's hard to see a short shot like the ones they all caught him with.

Well obviously it went away gradually and not all at once, like it usually does with fighters.
It's not like one day he had a granite chin, the he got KTFO and he the has a glass jaw.
