Orem, AF postponed ( Jared Lloyd DAILY TimDahlberg THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LAS VEGAS Floyd Jr. didn't need to dance to beat Ricky Hatton. His fists proved a lot more potent than his feet. May-weath- er Mayweather remained unbeaten Saturday night and retained his claim to being the d best fighter in the world by stopping Hatton in the 10th round of a brawl that featured none of the fancy footwork the American has shown in the ring and pound-for-poun- on reality TV. Hatton wouldn't let move, but it didn't matter as Mayweather used precision punches to wear down the challenger for his crown. Hatton kept trying to get inside and score points, but Mayweather had an answer' for everything he did. The end came after Mayweather landed a crushing left hook that dropped Hatton on his back in Mayweather's corner. Hatton got up at the count of eight, but Mayweather almost immediately got him on the ropes and landed another flurry of punches to the head. Hatton went down almost on a delayed reaction, while at the same time referee Joe Cor-te- z moved in to stop the fight May-weath- er d and Hatton's corner threw in the towel at 135 of the round. It was the first loss for Hatton, a brawler from Manchester, England, who did his best i to do what no other fighter had ever done and break down Mayweather's defenses. It was clear from the early REED SAXONAssociated Press rounds, though, that Hatton would have trouble doing that.
