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?
WTF lol, Hatton wasn't doing anything at the begining, you say he was landing on Floyd, I think you would have to be blind to see it that way, Hatton landed a few good jabs and a hook or two coming, but on the inside he was hitting shoudlers and elbows or even air, but not landing clean punches. Hatton definitely controlled the real estate, but Mayweather never contested that, he was countering Hatton with little shots off the ropes, and countering him big in the middle of the ring.

Besides when Kenny Bayless ref'ed Hatton-Pacquiao he was pulling apart quicker than Cortez was pulling apart Hatton and Mayweather.

In the entire fight Hatton maybe deserved one or two rounds for his overwhelming aggression, but he was getting beating in a competitive, but one sided fight.

The real question is if Hatton wasn't allowed to fight as cheap as he often did in Manchester what would have his record been?
