    Suppose you were a junior WW and got offered to fight Hatton or Kostya for the same money and in Vegas. Which fight would you take?

    Kostya Tszyu. I reckon I would outbox him easily. Easier than Hatton anyway.

    Probably Hatton because I have an aggressive side and would swarm often. I'm not walking into Kostya's slugger power and getting my AZZ hurt.

    Thing was, Kostya was quite an artful boxer in the amateurs. When he started training with Johnny Lewis, he became a bit more crude.

    Definitely take Hatton. In his prime he was a bit over rated. Frank ****** fed him stiffs then moved his diet up to over rated fighters. In Vegas he wouldn't be allowed to grapple and wrestle, like he was allowed to do when he fought Tszyu over in the U.K. That also wasn't prime Tszyu he fought.

    Had Frank ****** matched Hatton up with better competition, he wouldn't have been undefeated as long as he was. There were several guys around his weight class who would have beaten him pre Mayweather.

    For the same amount of money, I would rather face Hatton. He is the easier opponent. I would want to be compensated for taking on the more skilled Tszyu and technically sound Tszyu.

    Hatton wouldn't be a pleasant fight to go through

    Kostya - bad news
    Hatton - depends, easier fight outside the UK. Otherwise he gets away with too much wrestling.

    Hatton, much more money for about an equally difficult night if you're a slickster

    Kostya, Hatton would be a much more painful experience overall with the pressure and body shots.
