    He seems to be getting a lot of stick off some on here. Why?

    Whether somehing has gone on before this fight that I don't know of but I thought he was spot on with his comments after the fight. It seemed to me that McCrory and particularly Nelson simply didn't like the fact that Hatton got destroyed like Hart predicted.

    Nelson was getting right wound up which was amusing though :lol:

    Pacman's stock has barely risen after his performance against Hatton, because of Hatton's appalling performance. If Hatton had atleast offered some kind of resistance, it would have been better for Pacman. It is just another 1 in the W column for his legacy, as Hatton is clearly shot to shite. I dont blame Hart for hyping the fight, as he in the business of boxing.

    The problem with Colin is for every time he makes a good point another 3 follow that are just simply pandering crap. If the man was consistent with his views and saw obvious logic there wouldnt be a problem but he hardly ever seems to do this. Plus theres always that stupid syrup he wears. It seems to get silver(er) everytime i see him. As for that parrot Glenn and Nelson forget about them. They'll say whatever it takes so they still have a job. There a couple of plebs.

    For me the only shot fighters Pac has beat are De La Hoya and Morales in the 3rd fight, Hatton is past his prime but did he look shot? No, he just fought a totally stupid fight and Pac looks great against aggressive fighters.

    I have heard Morales and Barrera were also 'shot' according to some people as well. Oscar De La Hoya for me was the only one who was shot, how could Hatton have became shot over 6 months, considering he said the Paulie performance was one of his best of his career.


    I hate it when people come up with unreasonable excuses for why a fighter lost.

    Yeah, Hart's hardly the one worth focusing on if you wanna dish out criticism to Brit pundits/guests/commentators etc.

    He's the least bad of a shocking lot when compared to the other sickeningly incessant bum licking lot who are nothing more than cheerleading fan boys.

    I disagree. I think Pacman's stock has risen. He just went to a weight he had never fought at before and destroyed the no.1 guy there in 2 rounds, knocking him out. Hatton is not shot at all, maybe a little past prime at best. Manny was just the better fighter and there's no two ways about it.

    dont think hatton is shot. think he is pretty stupid tho. he fought that fight like a fool and totally underestimated pac and was overawed at the occasion imo

    he went for a all out scrap and got smashed.

    he can totally come back from this imo have 4/5 more fights. against world level but not top opposition and only people from his natural weight class. the days of hatton in american super fights are over, but not world title fights in atlantic city and manchester/london. bradley, torres, campbell, khan, witter etc.

    people who are shitin all over his entire career should catch a grip. he held english boxing together for years and had the balls to dream to be the best. if hatton is a mug then every british fighter haye and calzaghe aside should simply give up

    Colin Hart was spot on with his analysis of the fight. He was one of the few that weren't biased clowns and gave a reasonable and balanced viewpoint.

    People don't like the fact he was 100% correct, and they weren't.

    I agree with that because i was shocked i normally mute him when he's on but he said pretty much what i felt. I doubt Colin will be asked back again by sky especially after the Amir khan comment.
