Amen. You & REED have pretty much cleaned this thread out. The Hatton groupies continue to use weight as an excuse for the loss. Floyd & Hatton are roughly about the same size. Floyd is a slightly taller man, but Hatton is thicker and has heavier bones. The reason why Floyd is able to be successful at higher weights whereas Hatto cant is simply because Floyd is a much better fighter than Hatton, and his style is better suited to move up in weight. Hatton relies on being able to bully smaller fighters around to be successful. Floyd whips his ass any time, any place, at any weight & time. Had the fight happened back in 05 at 140 it would have been the SAME exact result. In fact the fight COULD have happened back in 05 at 140, but Hatton didnt want any parts of Floyd at that time. Floyd wanted the fight back then, Hatton didnt. And now we know why. Hatton is Floyd's eternal bitch!
Oh, please.....Hatton made Floyd his bitch during pre-fight hype. Hatton's humour and wit stood in sharp contrast to Floyd's ridicuolous and tired schtick.
What's "Ridiculous & Tired" about TELLING a Guy U're Gonna WHIP his Ass then BACKING IT UP???... REED:dunno:
Hatton punked out Floyd before the fight, there's no denying it. Ortho opened a thread to that effect before the fight, stating that Hatton "going to beat Mayweather", because Ricky got under PBF's skin.
PBF is an infantile guy in interviews that's for sure. And no, I am still not saying that he wasn't the better fighter compared to Hatton
Yep, Hatton "Punked Out" Floyd Sooooooo BADLY, he SCARED Floyd into DOMINATING him for 9 Rounds, then KO'ing him N the 10th... REED::
And all this matters for SHIT! This is boxing, not a dissing contest. Floyd made Hatton his bitch inside the ring, and thats all that fuckin matters!
the euro fans that were all suckin Hatton's dick until he got KO'd need reasons man.. Floyd moved up for the DLH fight.. no doubt.. There is also no doubt that of the two Hatton is really a bigger guy.. I remember when Floyd said from 154 down he'd fight them.. I was thinking that is Dam risky cuz he is Small! I have no doubt Floyd could make 140.. prolly easier than Hatton could
it is maybe the most retarded thing I've ever read here that Hatton "made floyd his bitch" in the pre fight build up:doh: they talked some smack.. both did.. Floyd predicted he'd win, and he went in and dominated Ricky and treated him like a bitch stopping him the thing I think that makes hatton look like a bitch is the pre fight video of Hatton in the gym saying "I hope E hits me harder than E 'its them FUCKIN pads and bags" he was talking all this trash about Floyd "pity patting" and how if Floyd did that he'd take his head off!:doh: then he preceded to not just get out boxed but floyd bullied him and made him his bitch!:laughing:
C'mon REED. You know the difference. Hatton is a fatass but Floyd was CLEARLY bigger when they fought. I was surprised to be honest because I bought into the whole 'Lil Floyd' shit. Floyd has the frame to FIGHT effectively at 147. Hatton has proven that he does not. Floyd is also much, much better than Hatton.
"Are you interested in fighting Witter?" "Erm, not really. When someone slags you off, you don’t want to repay them by giving them the biggest payday of their lives." well, ricky, when someone gives you the biggest payday of your life, fight after fight, year after year (i.e. as the british public has done for you), you should repay the public by taking the fight they want to see - witter. an impressive, highly-rated domestic rival. it's pathetic now. sure, putting off witter when you were (sluggishly...) chasing zoo, floyd, was excusable. but now it's just bullshit. seriously, this guy seems to have swallowed his own hype. the physical bloating seems to be a metaphor for his ego. "well, everybody wants to fight ricky hatton", he said, in glorious third-person.
well he did embarrass him on the press tour. go see the youtube clips. hatton was witty and crowd-savvy throughout, whereas floyd was clumsy, as usual. of course, it is completely, absolutely irrelevant, since floyd battered him in the fight.
Will you fight Junior Witter? Not Really Will you fight Oscar De la Hoya? Im fearless ill fight anybody
well.. I have to disagree here.. Hatton looked like an asshole IMO.. it just makes it sweeter that he got stopped Floyd is a class act compared to Hatton
Citing a recent spate of fighters moving down in weight as their careers progressed, the "Pretty Boy" speculated that he may consider future fights at a lower weight class, possibly junior welterweight or lightweight. "Shane came back down. Oscar is going down. Winky just fought Bernard at 170, but he wanted to fight Oscar at 154. Ricky Hatton went back to junior welterweight, and he weighs more than me. I've always said that weights don't win fights. Skills pay the bills. When I come back, it will be for the biggest fights and the biggest names. It it don't make dollars, it don't make sense." "Money" Mayweather addressed the issue of the challenges of making weight. "For me, it's not an issue. At all. I've always been in great shape. Me and Ricky talked about fighting at 140, but he didn't want to put his belt at risk. I never go above 150. Not even between fights. When I fought Arturo Gatti, he was 158, 159 something like that. I saw Stevie Forbes and Bojado. They were, what, 156 and 159. For a fight that was supposed to be at 140. So, you know, we'll just have to see." While Mayweather did not specifically discuss future opponents, the indications are that he has an interest in facing current p4p companion Manny Pacquiao. While a size disparity is perceived, the Filipino idol struggled to make weight for his last bout vs. Mexican legend Marco Antonio Barrera. By fight time, Pacquiao had rehydrated to 144 pounds. WBO superfeatherweight titlist Joan Guzman, often mentioned as a potential opponent for Pacquaio, had had similar weight challenges. The Dominican rising star weighed 148 pounds for his bout with hard-hitting Humberto Soto. Says Mayweather, "I'm going to talk to my team, and talk to Mark Taffet at HBO. We'll give the fans what they want."<!-- / message --><!-- sig --> <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->
i think it has been proven that Hatton is an asshole and he was scared to lose his belt so he just didn't diet down as much
