ok guys i know we`ve been here 747,825,190 times already but what with floyds win on saturday ive once again been trawling through his career set and not for the 1st time cant stomach myself to watch past 5rounds of mayweather-hatton.

It was clear for all to see that floyds sharp overhand right f*cked hatton up everytime and that floyd had not just the speed but power advantage on ricky. But once again the fury of the performance of cortez who pretty much f*cked hattons entire gameplan is there for all to see.

Ricky is the only man to date to genuinely hurt floyd. Had the ropes had not been there in the 1st floyd would of dropped like a sack of shit and every SINGLE time hatton exploded inside landing flat on floyds chin, mayweather hugged hatton leading to joe warning hatton for what i can only presume as being "too over exhuberant"

Between 6-10 this wasnt the case, floyd whooped hatton all over the ring and showed what a class act he really is. But the annoyance is still there 2 years after it happened. Hattons gameplan WAS working a dream up until cortez decided to stamp it out and without doubt he was dominating a superior fighter with excellent tactics and footwork.

HAD lets say a kenny bayliss for instance of reffed the fight would floyd right now be sitting here with a record of 39-1?

Hammer are you being serious mate??

Floyd took a few rounds to get to grips with the way Hatton fights then just took him to school on the inside and outside, Cortez was a cock in that fight but you could of had Rickys dad reffing it wouldnt of made a difference.

I think Ray Hatton could've reffed the fight and Ricky wuld still have lost. Floyd is just on a different level completley to Hatton

This excuse is 2 years old on why Hatton lost to May. Joe Cortez was the ref!
Other popular excuses used were that Hatton fought at welterweight and May used his elbows.
