Hello Mr. kettle, I'm pot...

That Kettle's brown, ****ing racist

 

No one and I mean NO ONE said JLC was shot before the fight. infact i'm sure he was the slight favourite or it was 50/50 betting.... only after the fight was he called shot

 

utter bollocks.
Hatton was 4/7 favourite everywhere.
and plenty of us were calling Castillo washed-up, it was pretty obvious in the Ngoujou fight that so many years as a pro and that many tough fights, not least the first Chico fight, had taken their toll. Sorry pal but you're talking shite.

 

I would have to agree with that,Castillo stunk the place out vs Ngoudjo before Hatton had the chance to with his holding.Besides,it must pretty hard when the only reason you're fighting is to pay off compensation owed to another party

 

that's right, see his trouble at the scales in the Chico rematch and another fight after that. The guy's heart was not in the boxing anymore, he was semi-retired and in need of the money. He just wanted an early way out against Hatton and found it in the form of a standard Hatton bodyshot, the punch that has not troubled an opponent since Stephen Smith or something like that.
Anyone who paid to see that card with Castillo-Ngoujoun and Wicky-Urango must've felt like slitting their wrists afterwards

 

Before the fight I did actually beleive that Castillo was shot, and couldn't see Hatton losing to him judging by his last fight on the Hatton-Urango undercard.

 

I guess we must have some very wealthy posters on ESB the way everyone obviously cleared up at the bookies on the "sure things" Hatton-Zoo and Hatton-JLC??

 

Nah, he was about 13/8, narrow underdog with Hatton 4/6 or something. Nobody claimed Castillo was shot at the time the fight was made, he was coming off his convincing flattening of Corrales in their rematch. There were one or two who started claiming he was shot after the fight with Ngoudjo (as if it's totally unthinkable that a young, unbeaten contender might give a world champ in his first fight at the weight a tough time). However, it was mainly the major Hatton haters on here (you all know the ones). The guys who had been made to look completely stupid in picking Tszyu to demolish Hatton inside a couple of rounds and then trying to revise history to claim that Tszyu was "shot". It was basically a case of get the excuses in early in case Hatton wins big again, which he did.

 

Love both fighters but for me it's ricky he was willing to go to America to fight the best and his 2 loses were against 2 future atg's he caught the best in there hayday where as joes best wins against bhop and Roy jones jr were against old fighters

 

Garsson, what Calzaghe-Eubank fight and Calzaghe-Hopkins fights did you watch >>>

 

I personally think that Calzaghe's wins against Kessler and Hopkins were more impressive wins than any of Hatton's victories.

Hatton may of went on to fight Mayweather and Pacquiao.... but he LOST badly! If he was able to get a points loss to them I would understand but he was knocked out!

Hopkins may have been old for a fighter but he was and still is one of THE best fighters on the planet! Infact I'd go as far to say that Calzaghe's victory over Hopkins at that stage of his career would of been harder than fighting the Hopkins of the nintees.... simply because B-Hop wouldn't of made the fight into a akward spoiling match..... and as Hopkins proved in the Pavlik fight where he worked the entire twelve rounds of the fight and destroyed him that physically he wasn't that much past his prime either!

 

Why is a points loss better than getting KO'd ????

Hatton could have run away from PBF all night and lose 12 - 0 Would you really have given him more credit losing that way than at least trying but getting KO'd

 

Well said like a true warrior went out on his shield hatton faught the best in there prime
