    Think people missed the best of hatton. He was great coming through. Think when the competition went up he didnt look quite as good.

    Same as anything its about levels....at the very top level where he was fighting at they negated his style a bit forcing him to hold a lot more. Theres a reason he had a massive following in britain tho...it wasnt all just down to being a guy that liked the pub.

    Should have probably hit america a lot earlier. Britains pretty good at producing fighters...but guys like hatton can go years without getting enough proper competition in the gyms over here. Become accustomed to being the best....then they start to plateu a bit.

    Some of it is the opposition, but I also don't like Uzcat's style, but still pulled for him to beat Plant. It's deeper than opposition

    De la Hoya.

    Surprisingly, though, I've discovered that I enjoy more watching his fights now than what I enjoyed (disliked) watching them back then when they happened. But I've discovered it very recently, last week or so, suddenly, I was enjoying de la hoya's fights and I was not hating him as much as I did before. I dont know why... I'm getting old, dude.

    If only all 3 were one tenth as good as they think they are they might make ATG's Without the "advantages" all 3 received, both legal & illegal, their records would read very differently

    Was never a DLH fan. But after his retirement, was able to appreciate all the big fights he took part in, win or lose.

    A little same with me. No one likes to see skilled giants fight safety first fights against much smaller guys.

    You shouldn't blame hbo, you should blame your ingrained bigotry.

    I was never ' a big' Calzaghe fan either, I under estimated how good he was.

    Or a really dumb opinion? You can't say your opinion is a fact.
