Skill and style. Hatton's style is terribly dependent on being able to outmuscle an opponent and wear him down....combined with his hand/foot...
That part is absolutely true. Don't know if this thread is a result of that, but I made this same point in a discussion in another thread....
Not saying it was you, bro. I just remember reading the overall tone of alot of posts and thinking it needed to be toned down a bit. :lol: I...
Sorry - fact is Floyd was offered $8MM to fight Margarito and declined...after they called his bluff and offered him the money. I am not going...
Are people serious that they had the fight 5-4 or even Hatton winning the last few rounds before the stoppage? What fight were those folks...
PBF was up way more than that on the official cards.....and on mine as well. That being said, agree that Cotto would be a challenging fight....
I disagree that a fighter will "NEVER" gain all-time status by going through multiple divisions....especially if he beats the top fighter(s)...
135 - Whitaker, Duran, Mosley 140 - Pryor, Taylor....unsure about Tszyu 147 - Leonard, Hearns, Benitez, Napoles
You can do that without the name-calling.
This is true....but though I don't agree with the spirit of it, Hex DOES have a point. Floyd fought a brilliant fight and I was one of the first...
Exactly. Where is all this "manhandling" some folks are seeing? :dunno: Mayweather proved stronger and more effective in the clinches, won most...
Mayweather "out-roughed" and wore down an opponent who is used to doing exactly the same thing to his opposition. Period. 1 or 2 point...
Mayweather did shamelessly hold the first 3-4 rounds. But by round 5-6 the holding was mutual - and after that, most of it was initiated by...
I had it 6-2-1 and can easily see 7-2. At most, Hatton won 3 rounds. I can't see 5-4 at all. IMHO, if you're scoring that, you're simply...
So he wasn't in a "A FIGHT" vs. Castillo in their first match? Come on, Sly. Hatton gave a good accounting but there was a sense that...
Couldn't agree more....I just said the EXACT same thing in another thread. Immensely frustrating. Good post.
It's touching that you're trying to be so magnanimous....but don't spout nonsense. :nono:
The worst punch is the one you don't see. Hatton NEVER saw it coming...and it landed right on the chin, right as Hatton was walking in. Perfect.
Early, yes. No doubt. By about round 4-5, it was Hatton's turn.
MTF, come on bro...given a result and fight like that, you can't honestly think the result would be diametrically different at 140....where, btw,...
But I didn't leave it at that. I coupled it with Mayweather's shots being CLEANER - and there being more of them landed flush. I am usually the...
:lol: Go to bed, abuelo. :old:
Here I am praising Mayweather's brilliance tonight and educating others about it - yet defending Hatton here. :lol: Knocking Hatton for "trash...
"I love the UK fans...thanks for coming over....tell 'em, Ricky..." Jesus. :flip: :doh:
Name me one round where Hatton CLEARLY outlanded Mayweather. I gave Hatton rounds, but the ones he won were very close. Defense does get...
You wanna list everything Mayweather said? Garbage and you know it.
I agree. It's almost as if, when it was inside/clinch/along the ropes, then Hatton was AUTOMATICALLY winning. No such thing.
:rolleyes: I picked Mayweather....and PBF won big and clear, culiminating in a knock-out. But PBF ran his mouth MUCH more than Hatton did....
Agreed.
:lol:
