Great effort by Hatton, but was always going to be difficult to win due to reach difference and not Hattons usual fighting weight
made even harder by Mayweather just constantly turning back on Hatton when Hatton got close, killing Hattons only real chance to win

Personally I think Ricky let himself down badly. Where were the punches when they were at close quarters? I cant even remember any body shots. He just didnt turn up tonight, really dissapointing.
Not the greatest-ever performance from Hatton, but credit where it's due to Mayweather for his efforts. He deserved to win the fight, and indeed was almost gracious in victory. I certainly don't think Hatton disgraced himself against an almost certain Hall of Famer, and there are certainly big fights left out there for him.
Hatton vs. De La Hoya at Wembley next summer, anybody?

Why ? so Ricky can take another beating. His people think too much of him for that.

The ref did not give him chance for any "close quater" punches, he stopped the fight to fast all the time.

aggree but I thnk if he was there for 100 years he wouldn't have thrown any decent punches. He just didn't turn up.. outclassed unfortunately...

I think that's really harsh.
Hatton IMO won the first two rounds, despite the fact that the ref tried to stop him getting in close, and fight his normal fight.
Mayweather is a class boxer, and IMO Hatton showed real guts to take the punches he did, and go back in for more.

Hatton should jack it in now as the only way is down and with his lifestyle he could end up getting hurt.

Hatton was poor, he was in close loads and didnt let any body shots go at all. He got knocked out by a boxer who hasnt managed to knock anyone else out for three years. Says it all imo.

Through all of it it showed that Mayweather was just a different class. Hatton gave everything, but Mayweather just nullified his main weapon and picked him off with some amazing shots. Best fighter i have ever seen
Man City fans chanting his name today, was quite happy to ruin his weekend utterly.
If the DLH fight doesn't come off for Hatton, then how's about a shot at the WBC's World Light-Welterweight Title, held by one Junior Witter?
The rivalry is there, it's in the best weight-class for Hatton, it would sell a lot of tickets here in the UK (City of Manchester Stadium maybe?), and Hatton could sure as hell win it.

Junior Witter would muller Hatton, the Hitter is on the way up and relatively fresh whilst Hitman is now shopworn and on the down hill slope.
