No shit. Hatton hasn't faced anyone worth mentioning with the exception of Kostya, but if you watch that fight again, Ricky is just fighting dirty all night. It was pretty obvious Kostya just got fed up with the BS worse-than-Hopkins "tactics" that Ricky has become known for. I don't know why as many people favored Ricky in this fight as they did. He's look like shit at his only other fight at 147 (Collazo), and did not look impressive against Urango. I was surprised at how he took Castillo out in (4?), but there are many reasons for that.
To beat Mayweather, you've got to catch him first. Mayweather's just too fast and too smart to be caught like that. He handled Ricky's style really well last night IMO.
