Because the man who made Kostya quit on his stool, Hatton ducked PBF at 140 saying he wasn't ready. We've already covered the whole PBF HBO fighter Kostya Showtime fighter thing I don't want to go back over it.:deal
Proof Hatton ducked Floyd....give us a link where an offer was made. As for Tszyu being the man...he was. When Hatton beat Tszyu he became the man. Floyd WAS NEVER THE MAN AT 140. Floyd chose the path of least resistance.
If you followed boxing back then you would be aware that Hatton's team turned PBF down after PBF beat Gatto and Hatton beat Zoo saying he wasn't ready. Hatton sat ring side the Gatti-PBF fight. Did PBF sit around and complain about being ducked? No he moved up to bigger and better things daring to be great. He didn't need to be. He beat the man who made Zoo quit on his stool in grand fashion. If he would have fought Hatton back then after he beat Gatti, he would have beaten Hatton worse at 140 than he did at 147. PBF back then was on top of his game and was mother****er, he would have absolutely wrecked Hatton.:deal
Yes, but also Kostya fandom. 45% fandom, 35% Floyd hate and 20% wishful thinking helps to arrive at this conclusion. Since I'm not a Tszyu, I only have the 35% Floyd hate and 20% wishful thinking to go with. That leaves a gapping 45% of reality to overcome and it's just too hard to leap over that to get to fantasy land on that one
He fought Hatton at 147 after he'd looked like **** against Collazo at 147. Yes I was obviously following boxing back then but still would like some actual evidence as I believe as the ***** that you are you are trying to rewrite history to suit to avoid the fact that Floyd had only Gatti in his sights at 140, Gatti was where the money was at. Corley, Brussels and Gatti isn't top tier.....regardless of how you want to try to spin it.
Another fool who thinks pbf was scared of Hatton and waited to see how he looked against Collazo to fight him. Hey dummy Hatton flaws were exposed years before to a boxing mind like pbf. He knew he would be easy work tried to make the fight when both were at 140 but was turned down. Do your own research I have nothing to prove to you. I know the history of Hatton turning down pbf at 140 I was here posting about it back then and there were threads and articles posted here about the very fact you don't know that Hatton did indeed duck pbf at 140 tells me you don't know **** about boxing.
One thing I can say is, out of the ring GGG and Tszyu are a class act and carry themselves as Champions. It is such a shame GGG fans are such nob heads, he must really cringe at them. I suppose Tszyu missed the social media hide behind your keyboard stalker era we live in today, and as I keep reminding all you GGG fans he is human and he cant really walk on water...!
When Kostya got into his first true firefight, he failed miserably. We don't know how GG will act or fight once his jaw is crunched for the very first time. We will find out one day, we always do.
Kostya was beautiful to watch as an amateur, it's a shame that his loss in seoul 88 isn't on the web even when the fight exist even at hd, but i can't blame him for change his style as a pro, just look at that right.
