KT was over the hill. The others including Castillo were not at their prime. Paulie was over hyped. The only prime opponent has been Floyd an d the only reason he lasted that long was becaus eof Floyd's fight plan.
He's undoubtedly the king of 140lb. Tszyu wasn't prime although everyone had him as favourite. Castillo wasn't prime but IMO he was never that good & Hatton was heavier. Pacquiao is naturally lighter but is incredible. He takes challenges & has done well for himself.
Spot on and if pac wins, i might not like it but i'll give him his due. I just hope the same will be recipricated if hatton wins.:good
11 rounds to 1 is convincing. and urango was percieved by many ignorant people as 'a bum' and used it as a stick to beat hatton.
At the end of the day a fighters achivements speak for themselves. If people choose to ignore those achivements and pursue their own negative and bias agenda, that is their call.
It seems most British or even European fighters for that matter get a lot of hate from American fight fans.... if Hatton was American it would be a different story!
i have said this of late. our fighters dont get the same respect. if haye.hatton were american they would be view'd different
I think Tszyu is by far his best win. Callazo beat Ricky in my mind and that homer ref saved Ricky from possibly getting finished by Lazcano. Say what you want, but it is clear if you watch the tape that Ricky was in deep **** and the ref bailed him out twice. You have to give Hatton credit for moving up to take on Floyd. Plus it was a great knockout... Edit: Why would anyone give Ricky credit for beating Paulie Malinaggi? He was made for Hatton. Hatton knew there was no freaking way that feather fisted *** was gonna hurt him so he could do whatever he wanted without fear of being hurt. Paulie was there for a paycheck... Good riddance
hold on,are there world class boxers outside the old USA,**** me,never knew that,heres me thinking americans are all thats on this ikle planet, gosh,im just a stupid english idjitatsch
