Also, ray mercer comes to mind. He once had a granite chin. But with him, his knockout losses might had more to do with being too old and lacking any ambition
Well, we've heard it said about Hatton enough times,that's for sure. The evidence is not conclusive though. Maybe it sounds better than being "totally outboxed and outpunched" And yeah, that punch would have KO'd a few people.
But I suppose that conditioning might have something to do with it. Perhaps we can learn something from the story of Eric Lindros who suffered repeatedly from concussions throughout his hockey career. Just bad luck? Did he become physically more vulnerable to KO as time went on? I'm not sure that was ever proven as a reason. Anyone who saw that hit from Kirk Stevens would know you didn't have to be prone to concussions to be KO's from that one.
I swear Ricky Hatton is like the 140 pound version of Mike Tyson in that he has the most fans with all sort of excuses on this and that. This might sound really crazy, but maybe just maybe, the other guy (Pacman) was better than him? I know it's a shocking statement isn't it?
I wish you guys would just see that Hatton is a more skilled and well rounded fighter than Pac man. He can beat all types of fighters. Pacquiao is garbage. He can only beat white people and old men. His ethnic KO percentage sucks and he's small. Also I heard his weener is really really small and Hatton's is huge.
So if you guys want to back the guy with the small wang, go ahead. But I am sticking wiht my guns. Hatton ATG.
