    Wow I cant remember saying that mattress....style wise Katsidas IS the better puncher....mainly because wrestling takes time away from boxing and Hatton spends close to half the fight in a clinch:deal I've timed it out

    Aside from this when Hatton isnt throwing punches or clinching he's very open...Katsidas isn't open really at all, hands up with good head and body movement. Sure Casamayor caught him but he's a slick as they come and a southpaw to boot..
    Again my resoning for picking Katsidas is I feel he is more of a complete puncher(defense, workrate, and power) their power is very comparable however defense and workrate go to Katsidas in my opinion and is the main reason for my pick

    I can think of One real important thing. The fact that not many at all have even knocked Casamayor down in his career. let alone out of the ring and finished it. And you can make a full blooded case that the fight should have been stopped there for Kat as Casamayor took more than 10 seconds to get in the ring.

    Then you can make a case for poor Willie Limond that got the longest 9 count ever seen aswell.

    And the fact that No One here takes into account that Amonsot Career is over and will never box again yet that means nothing.

    I mean Khan is taken the Warren way of fighters with NO KO power yet here is Katsidis fighting and willing to fight the best yet.

    Khan already far better.
    You UK fans are unreal. i admit Khan might be good but really he has to compete with Juan Diaz for the rest of his career.

    Cant see Khan going anywhere really sorry. Yet i can see Katsidis making huge money as like Gatti did with entertaining fights and his never say die attitude.

    Katsidis is way overrated because of his excitement level. Hatton isn't my favourite fighter, but at least hes an borderline elite fighter, Hatton easily stops Katsidis.

    How?:huh
    How does Hatton win? Lucky punch out of a clinch? A homerun?
    Has it occured to you that people want to see Katsidas fight because he's active and he's there to ****ing kill you:fire People latch on to Hatton because he's "just one of the mates"....give me a ****ing break and go watch WWE

    I agree that Khan could be stopped by any of those guys. But actually Khan did a much better job with Earl than Kat managed and who are the solid chins that Kat has dented? Presumably Casamayor, as he is the only one I can think of who remotely deserves to be called a solid chin who Kat has floored.

    And yet he was also dropped in his fight previous to Kat against a guy who is not a banger and has been down to several fighters in his career. And lets be honest Casamayor is far more past his best than Tsyzu was when Hatton fought him. He laboured to a SD win over Santa Cruz in his only fight of 2007 and is about to turn 37. He has not looked close to his best for a long time....I am going back to before 2004.

    And you are way off about Guzman. He was a puncher at Super Bantam and I cannot think of a fighter who has failed to carry his power up more than Juan Guzman.
    I remember watching is debut at Featherweight against Joe Morales and could not believe how many times Guzman landed completely flush, ripping combos onto the chin and Morales never really looked like being stopped.

    Since then he has not stopped a single opponent at Featherweight or Super feather....but you think if he moves up in weight again he should be considered a puncher?:huh

    Plus Khan isn't going to bang with them anyway, unless he has a stroke or something.

    Hatton would win this IF the fight ever happened. But it won't because I fully expect Katsidis to be exposed before he gets the chance.


    Look, lets be real.
    - I'm an Australian citizen.
    - I travelled around 3000 km (1700 miles) to watch Tszyu vs Leija.
    - I'm a Manchester United fan.


    I have NO reason to be a Hattonhugger. In fact I have a few reasons to hate him. But unlike a few on this forum, I try not to let my bias (and let's face it, we're ALL biased) cloud my judgement.

    Hatton is just better than Katsidis in pretty much every department. Not light years better, but better.

    It only makes me think that Yes Hatton was great on the night and needed to be. But i learnt that night that all the trouble we were reading behind the scenes that Tszyu was having trouble making weight.
    The fact he fought at 2am in the morning in the UK mind you at the age of 36.
    The fact the Ref let hatton foul and foul and foul all night then when Tszyu gets in a clean body punch and Hatton goes down , NO Knockdown, And dont give me this bull**** it was low. Because most of the respected boxing writers world wide said that the ref was bad that night.
    Yes Tszyu lost and im not fussed but if you were to turn that around and put the 36 year old Hatton against a Prime Tszyu in Australia with an Aussie ref the fight wouldnt have lasted 3 rounds. Just like so many others.

    So if you really stack it up with all that Tszyu had to go up against id like to see the roles reversed.

    My point is though the fighters in the UK these days because of money hungry whores like Warren are getting to pampered and are to protected which i hate.
    Thats what i love about Aussie fighters they have the opinion of every other Aussie.
    Have gloves will fight anywhere and anyone at anytime.

    Cant stand Warren he is bad for the sport.
    And it wasnt until Hatton got away from Warren that he was and could become the fighter that we all see today.
