Malignaggi earned my respect in his loss to Cotto. The guy showed major heart. In decisively beating N'dou, he showed he's a legit 140 titlist....
:thumbsup
True that... and there are A LOT of fanbois on here and every other message board. It's natural to get behind a particular fighter or fighters,...
I'd like to see the fight. Harris gets way too much flack. He's still one of the most dangerous guys at 140... for 4 rounds. Then he's an average...
I wouldn't go that far. There are plenty of fighters with styles I don't necessarily like. Hatton's style is ugly to me, but I would rather watch...
I only saw the one, and it was while they were clinched up. He didn't seperate them and make a clear warning that I saw, but I might have missed...
As long as Hatton keeps Nady out of his fights, he'll do well. I think Cortez would have started seriously warning about holding if the fight had...
I've seen him use a short distraction type of jab before to get inside. He even will feint the jab sometimes and slip in. He didn't do any of that...
I think Hatton has had to be more smothering against higher level opponents. I don't think Hatton necessarily has a world class chin, but his...
I am the opposite side. I'd Floyd over Cotto, but would give Hatton a good chance of beating him if he showed up in top form.
Hatton couldn't KO, and was getting busted up by, Louis Collazo. Even he admits that 147 is too big for him. I'm also not sure how anyone can call...
It's called being a fanboi :p You see it after any fan favorite fighter has a win. It's like that old SNL sketch with the Chicago Bears fans....
I don't really love his style, but it's effective. If the fight intrigues me, I'll buy it.
Then you missed a great fight in Cotto/Judah and a horrible fight in Briggs/Ibragimov. There will always be both kinds. If you are just looking...
I think De La Hoya beating Hatton wouldn't do anything for him other than showcasing him punishing a fighter that would be obviously far too small...
