Another loss this year by UK? Once again blaming the referee? Yes yes, it is always referees fault, the rugby, the football, the boxing, it's always the referees fault ofc, britain are #1 !!
[/sarcasm off]
imo Mayweather too good, too smart, too accurate, too fast, was nice try though but imo if hatton fought him another 10 times, he would lose 10 more times.

but.... mayweather was too good in the later rounds no disputing that.
Bring on the flaming towards the UK ^ - ^
Agreed, it was a nice try, very surprising to us guys in the states, some brit none of us never heard of taking it to our champ :O
And i bet some of em do deal drugs ;)
And I'm sure your glad he lost cos he is English ;)
Tbh, never expected Hatton to win, Mayweather was always gonna be too good and too experienced for Hatton at this level but it was really guttsy by Rickey to challenge Mayweather so fair play to him.
Also disagree with blaming the referee, seemed to me that Hatton and others knew he was outclassed so can't lay all the blame on the refereeing.
Was completely impressed with the amount of support shown towards Hatton, the atmosphere of the fans made it look like it was 80% of the crowd were English.
All in all, it was a good fight and Mayweather certainly deserved his win but you can't knock Ricky's effort and guts. I'm pleased with Hatton's showing even if he didn't win...
Mayweather is a genius in every aspect, he doesn't show his true personality to the media at all. He played the cocky and arrogant role before the fight for the money and the ratings .. he played the gracious card after the match so he gets future support from the uk.
Trust a yank on that one, it was so obvious too. "Oh, i see why they call him the Hitman" and then waiting for a reaction from the crowd.. :\
Watch an american TV channel tommorow and see a more honest side of him, he won't be complimenting Hatton at all, he'll be talking about how he said he was the best and proved it.
Oh right, I never knew you knew Mayweather on a personal level, then enlighten us all on his actual personality. Oh right your assuming his personality on the media yourself, but I think you said he doesn't show his personality to the media so where did you get your assumption of Mayweather?
All the arrogance and cockiness at the beginning of the game is the same for EVERY boxer, if it weren't it would be pointless fighting. The gracious card as nothing to do with trying to get more support in another country but more of it actually making himself look better in a professional way rather than a public one.
"Watch an american TV channel tommorow and see a more honest side of him, he won't be complimenting Hatton at all, he'll be talking about how he said he was the best and proved it."
Well so he should, he certainly proved it and I'd be worried if he never said he was the best. Boxing revolves around the ego's and when you risk it at the beginning of a fight you certainly have the license to make such claims after another win.
so pedar stfu dick head, next time watch the thing!
I didn't say hatton was blaming the ref, read the journal properly, all the commentators and presentors are all blaming the ref (again).
