After the Lazcano fight I don't think anyone's going to let Ricky do the "hold with the left hand, rabbit punch with the right" thing. I never knew how he got away with it in the first place but the days of him getting mileage out of it seem to be over.

For real, I seriously thought Hatton had brain damage. That was not a good fall at all. This could very well be the end of his career.

$50 down the drain :lol At least it was fun.

Damn that punch was so sexy. fucking feint with the right, he kind of ducks down and throws this amazing hook that goes up to the face.

beautiful

Money May would take the payday for it, and I'm sure that is why he came back.... That payday would probably be bigger then what he got for De La Hoya....

It's true. Floyd's skill combined with his need for money is going to be a nasty combination.

Need? Really?
At this point in his career, especially the money he made during the last few years...I really don't see him coming back and fighting this summer because of his need for money.

I just don't see him destroying Pac because when I think destroyed, I think Floyd-Gatti.
:lol

Pretty sure I heard Oscar say he liked Hatton in this fight because he didn't feel a lot of power from Paq in his last fight.

...well fuck :lol

Also I like Floyd in a possible matchup obviously.

My 2 cents. I love Ricky. Massive respect for the man. But goooooooooooooooooood damn. What a fucking knockout. Floyd better not get in a ring with Pacquiao. Fuck's sake. Man is IN-DES-TRUCTIBLE!

It was glorious. Pacquiao fought like he was forged out of awesome, gold and win. Hatton literally dropped like he was hit by Optimus Prime.

Pacquiao might be too threatening for Mayweather to consider. He's a great fighter, but he's always picked his fights VERY carefully. Pacquiao has speed and power. If Mayweather has slowed even a fraction, if Pacquiao catches him with one big, clean shot I'd fancy the fight to be over. Pacquiao would be five times as dangerous as anyone else he's faced.

He's also the Picker Of Cherries. So while a Mayweather win is very, very possible should such a fight occur, I'm not entirely convinced it will.

Point well taken.....I didn't know.
:D

I mean damn though, all that money he made just within the last few fights.
Maybe he could ask his butt-buddy 50 cent for some cash, or did they break up?


I guess Patrick Ewing's "Well, we make a lot of money, but we spend a lot too" still holds true.

Floyd walks into the ring with Manny: He doesn't walk out. He's carried out. Floyd's good but he was always a poor's man's Whitaker in my eyes. He fought Corrales, Hatton and Castillo. Otherwise...heh.
