Hatton needs to learn to box better and its as simple as that, heart, effort and a decent chin will get you through against crap fighters but Mayweather showed, anyone with real talent isn't remotely scared of someone dropping their chin and ploughing forwards, its a field day for those types of fighters. The thing is, Hatton isn't some overgrown, heavy, slow boxer, he's got very good speed but his retarded corner team has been teaching him to box stupid for years rather than use his speed to actually, you know, box.
The worst thing he did against Wayweather was keep running in, he's got the speed to be a decent counter puncher and he's got stamina, but stamina goes when you just run into punches for no reason at all, round after round. One round in that first he actually stayed back a bit, took hugely less hits, actually got his only decent hits of the fight and looked far more effective, but then he went back to his stupid tactics.
Frankly I don't think of Hatton as a good boxer technically, but then he's never really tried to fight that way, it doesn't mean he can't or can't learn. But its simply a different game against the worlds true best, he either keeps getting beaten down or he learns to counter, defend and fight properly. Problem is for him he went to long fighting bum's, has spent to long fighting the same way and I would imagine it would be very difficult for him to change his style so dramatically.
On how he's faught to date, he has no chance at all bar a lucky KO, which as we all know isn't really an indication of anything but that, luck. Lennox lewis giving the title to that bum whose name I forget, truly awful boxer, one punch and down then he destroyed him in the rematch. If he's changed his style completely I give him a better chance, but he's unpracticed fighting technically so very much doubt he can pull it out of the bag against a true champ.
Saying that its hard to see just how good Pacman is because Hoya made him look like the best boxer in the history of the universe, mostly because Hoya barely threw a punch or moved.
