The decline of Hatton's chin - Myth or Fact?

[oakleyno1]

fact in my opinon. The only time ive ever seen hatton really hurt before mayweather is against magee, you could say mayweather has a dodgy chin after corly rocked him... but he doesnt, he has a good chin.

Hatton took kostyas punches, straight or not they were still the hardest p4p punches at the time, sharmba mitchell - who doesnt have a particulary good chin was taken out in 3 by them. Dont get me wrong though i twas the fight of his life, prehaps no one could of put him down that night.

Hatton is always vunerable to counters, as all people who fight his style are generally. After Kostya his chin probably had gone a little, and after mayweather as we saw lazcano and pac were able to hurt him with almost every clean shot. To me hattons chin was not exposed in the 2nd round, he didnt see the punch, if anyone had walked onto it like him they would of been out. But in the first, short left hook and then the recovery afterwards. Yes he didnt see the left but it shouldnt have put him on the floor


thats my 2 cents anyway

Well actually we don't really know how good Floyd Mayweather Jr's chin is, im a fan of Floyd Mayweather Jr but i've only seen him take the odd good shot here and there, which does show how great he is.

But DeMarcus Corley did have underrated power, he did wobble Miguel Cotto, Zab Judah, despite what people say DeMarcus Corley was a pretty good contender in his day.

As for the topic i agree with Ono somewhat, he has been wobbled quite a few times in his career. And Kostya Tszyu isn't an effective puncher without punching room, but i still don't think a prime Ricky Hatton would of been blown away in 2 rounds by Manny Pacquiao.

Going up and down in weight like he does, and the life style he has. Plus his gun-ho style wouldn't help his punch resistance, although its never been great i think it is certainly worse than it was.

And as Fenster said Ricky Hatton used to be alot faster, especially at slipping shots. Just look at the Ray Olveira fight for example.

But do you not think it's easy to look faster against Oliveira given that he is much slower than the likes of Pacquiao and Mayweather?
