I'm a ****ing idiot because, in my opinion, Hatton is more marketable then he is talented or skilled? Umm ok. I'm not saying he's not a great fighter. Oscar is my favorite fighter and I'll say he's been overhyped the past couple of years. His "in ring abilities" no longer merit the drawing power he has. Thats all. Now grow the **** up, and understand someone not agreeing with you doesn't make them an idiot :deal
Dawson is a two time champ who has beaten 4 top 10 LHWs and he's only 26. How can you admonish people for saying Hatton and then name wins over half ass fighters like Maussa and Malignaggi to back up your claims, and then call Chad Dawson overhyped? Dawson is not the one who has 50,000 show up to see him fight set-ups, Dawson is not on most people's p4p list like Hatton, and Dawson isn't the one who was dominated and knocked out by the only prime, elite fighter that he faced. I wouldn't say Hatton is the most overhyped fighter, but he fits the description better than Dawson.
wins? hatton beat two greats albeit they were a little past there prime,the difference being hatton did the job convincingly taylor didnt! taylor is great,hatton isnt? are you kidding me? your credibility with regards to this issue is now de-funct.sorry.
if i weighed 24 stone i would be american.... the world is abound with "what ifs" son.. and its "guaranteed".
I don't think he won the first fight. But I dont think Hatton beat Collazo, I actually scored it for Collazo. And the Bernard HOpkins that Taylor fought went on to dominate Tarver and then Dominate Pavlik and beat Winky, and give Calzaghe hell. My credibility, your comparing Hopkins from 2005 who hadn't lost in over 10 years and went on to have phenomenal performances after to Kostya Tszyu and Castillo Taylor did win the second fight though. And even two close losses to Hopkins in '05 and the draw with Winky (which I feel Winky won) are more impressive to me then Hattons wins over Castillo and Kostya....which was a ****ing disgrace how he raped Tszyu by the way. Am I kidding you? No sir....I'm not. Why the hell is me saying Hatton is overhyped causing such an uproar...it's not even frigg'n insult to the guy atsch
And I never once said Hatton was not great....and Taylor was, never said anything like that. take a deep breathe and relax. But if someone is saying Jermain Taylor was overhyped and Hatton isn't, then thats kind of silly.
By that same token, when I think of Hatton all I think of are his dodgy win over Collazo and his humiliating loss to Mayweather where he was knocked senseless. Nuff said.
im in no such uproar with regards to your comments... i just disagree,respect your opinion but it is yours and not that of mine and a great deal others. peace.
Just tell me this. What WWs do you think Hatton could beat? What type of P4P fighter can't step up one weight class and compete with the top fighters...and yes, I'm saying Hatton can not compete with Mosley, Cotto, Margo, Williams, Berto, Clottey, Floyd (if he comes back) They would all beat him.
