I agree somewhat. Except he didn't train as the Hatton of old. He didn't defend himself, he lacked respect for Pacquaio's power (went with his heart), and more importantly didn't think about what he was doing related to his game plan. (although a conditioned reflex means he should have to think) His new training was something that didn't come as natural for him and when his adrenaline kicked in, his preparations went out the window. He psyched himself out and wasn't ready to step into the ring as the new Hatton. Because he didn't train as the Hatton of old he wasn't ready to step into the ring as the old Hatton either. While we saw the Hatton brawler, it wasn't a prepared confident Hatton brawler. If the idiot watched his own fights instead of feeling sorry for himself he might learn from his mistakes. But he's apparently got this stupid idea in his head that his style is not good enough to beat Mayweather' I believe this is why he hired Mayweather Sr. It just seems rather obvious to me.
How did David Diaz get so far with Pacquiao and Hatton didn't? He kept his guard up. Is Diaz that much better a fighter than Hatton? If he is then maybe your right and Hatton is just a club flghter, but I really don't believe a fighter can go 43-0 and not be a great fighter.
