Shame it's only you. If Hatton would've gone the other way you'd have been on his back. Just admit you got owned on the facts.

Well its obvious he was shit so why would he say anything other then that?

Oh please. How long have been watching this sport. Fighters always make excuses and are delusional.

Hatton ducked DeMarcus Corley, but has fought Tszyu, Castillo, and Collazo?

Yup different styles. And the only reason he fought Collazo is because he THOUGHT Collazo couldnt hurt him being that he only had about 10 KOs

I'll admit that while his resume is very good and he has faced perhaps 2 future hall of famers and stopped them, he hasn't faced many slick boxers...I say it's careful management. He really struggled against Collazo and I would be interested in how he does against Malignaggi.

He fought Collazo because if he didn't he would have lost his HBO deal. You dumb fuck.

In my opinion Malignaggi beats him. Rather easily too.

Do you think they were intentional?

BTW, Judah didn't lose because of the low blows, he lost because Cotto simply is better and stronger.
