On that programme last night remember hearing him say he's fighting for the Commonwealth title. Who is his opponent? Who's the favourite? How good is the younger Hatton (I have seen him fight a while back, but can't remember much about him) , how far can he go?
His opponent is Craig Watson - he put Khan on his ass in the amateurs. Hatton Jnr is nothing special - domestic class, but I expect him to win here, prob by UD.
i seen him box Twice i think and was impressed he may not be as good as ricky but hes got all the tools i think he could go pretty far
I think he could be another Colin Lynes - domestic, commonwealth and possibly european. If he thinks he can win a world title at welterweight he is seriously mistaken! I wouldn't rule out him moving up to 154 and having decent success there though, bearing in mind how shallow the division is!
****in hell guys ya can tell he is Ricky Hattons brother coz no other thread about a 'Domestic Class' fighter could provoke so much backlash, Hatton Jnr taking some verbal bombs and its only the first round lol... God help Audley Harrison if a thread gets started about his Mother
He isnt in Lynes class, in fact despite been smaller Lynes would beat him Matthew doesnt want to fight the top domestics at welter Oh and he got a gift last time out
He's an average domestic-level operator. However, he just happens to have a famous brother in the same sport, and can ride on the back of that money wagon as long as "bro" maintains his popularity with the Man City fans etc. Matthew is nearly 40 fights into his career, and has been spoon-fed crap competition the whole way; even then he still lost 3 and drew 1.:deal
i agree with the general consensus. matt isn't up to much. he'll fulfill his potential by winning the commonwealth title on saturday.
