To this point I am not so sure what to think of the fight....did Floyd allow for Ricky to fight his fight only to humiliate him later on OR did Ricky just do a good job of pressuring Floyd?
Floyd is still a great boxer but fighting Ricky Hatton never seemed to me to be as big of a challenge as fighting Miguel Cotto.....I don't mind it and I can fault him but I am still wondering if Floyd just handicapped the fight or he actually had trouble.....Floyd didn't run as much that's for sure but it just sort of gets my mind working on it because he looked FAAAAAAR from spectacular in the early to middle rounds, rounds 8 and 9 he looked very good, like he should have the entire fight.
