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

[ono]

Magee had a serious dig. I don't remember seeing a fight where he didn't rock his opponent.

Most fighters punch resistance wanes with age just down to sheer punishment, no? It would be surprising if that didn't happen to guy hit as much as Hatton.

Looking at old videos of him he looks much faster than he does now. There's definitely a change.

Could that not be down to the fact that he's no longer facing gatekeepers and journeyman?

His speed? How would his opponent affect his speed? I think it's quite obvious he was much faster when younger.

Because he is bound to look much faster against a journeyman than he is against Pacquaio, as Hatton will be faster than the journeyman but slower than Pacquiao. It's easy to look fast against a 40 year old gatekeeper.
