    Have always been a fan of Ricky's,never a hugger but i like the lad and him being a Brit well you want him to do well.Like many i've always been aware of his weaknesses.Hatton was never a great fighter,never a real grade A level fighter like a Pretty Boy,Pacman or Bhop but a good fighter all the same. What happened on Saturday has been coming a while.I expected him to be stopped maybe not quite as early and as dramatic but it was pretty inevitable because he's basically not as good as a well schooled assasin like Manny,and i'm in no doubt that his lifestyle played a part in his demise,especially in terms of punch resistance,the real warning shots were there against the light hitting Lazcano.
    He should get out now because when you get knocked out like that it tends to start happening more and more,i agree,the Bradley's and Holt's would take him out.
    He's had a good career,he's rich beyond his wildest dreams he should get on with what he obviously now does best eat,drink and be merry.

    COUNTER MY ****ING POINT. I DONT WANT TO HEAR YOUR BULL**** OPINION COUNTER MY POINT. Im a staunch fan of British boxing and have been for 20 years. But i will continue to call bull**** when i see it irrespective of what you think or what you want to read on these boards.

    Scurla, why do you always claim everyone who disagrees with you is a noob and not a real boxing fan when in fact its you that looks like you are the one doesn't really understand (or chooses to forget where Hatton is concerned) how boxing is, and always has been, sold and promoted?

    You've used that "noob" and "true boxing fan" tactic for years and its still as transparent as ever. Get a new line FFS.

    no you seem to just state the same things and not respond to anyone else points, i have made points about froch and numerous other things but you ignored them and keep going on about hatton fanboys. Just because i don't hate hatton like you doesn't make me a fanboy, just because i don't chat **** about junior witter doesn't make me a hatton fanboy. I don't give two shits about hatton i just find you to be a massive hypocrit and think you only see things from your very biased view.

    The line will stay UNTIL nitwits like yourself learn to see the light of day. Im not lying im merely telling the truth as it played out over the last decade. Those that are privvy to the facts know this. Those who are new to the sport do not. You've been watching boxing long enough to better. Then again maybe not.

    As for promotion its abundantly clear that is NOT my point. You know when Hatton held the WBU he was NOT a world champ. I know that. But SKY BBC and Hatton dont? When its been marketed that way and Hatton says it himself? How many times must i repeat this to you? So in one vein you can glibly gloss over his WBU reign but then be ok that SKY and Ricky think he's a 6 time world champ when he clearly is NOT? Rank idiocy Gazoc. Rank ****ing idiocy.

    So just so we're clear. Anyone who disagrees with you isn't a true boxing and hasn't been watching the sport as long as you have?:lol::patsch:lol:

    Who cares how those WBU fights were promoted? They're just a series of fights. Criticize the opponents by all means but the belt is irrelvant.

    This is getting dangerously close to being an argument about semantics. These are always fun.

    So its much betetr to be like froch and fight nobody for years and have hardly any fights over a career rather than take the wbu route when your younger build your name and fanbase up and have done far more by the time you reach the same age

    "Theres a big difference between collecting belts and fighting REAL WORLD CLASS TALENT."

    Thats fine but he only lost against the No 1 P4P fighters in the world, not 'just' world class talent..THE BEST THERE IS!

    It's the fact you are using Ricky's destruction at the hands of Manny and PBF to cast a disparaging light on his whole career, and reveling in it I find weird and disturbing.

    no your only intrested in your own biased view point, i think you should stick to talking about comics and wrestling.
     


  13. There you go again ...... why is Collazo a "no namer" ???? what has Witter done to be a bigger name or better fighter than Collazo ??
