    Your not privvy to what happened at Sports Network between Warren Hatton and Ricky are you. Wrap a fighter in cotton wool and hand feed him. Chuck the other one to the lions who ends up with a rival promotion and goes the traditonal route rather than Lonsdale WBU world honours. Yeah your really mr current affairs.
    :roll:

    You might want to look up the meaning of the word Hypocritical. Im a realist. Il call bull**** when i see it. The smoke and mirrors never fooled me. It clearly fooled you.

    Yeah really that's why you think witter has done well despite fight nobody and losing to bardley but he has done far more than hatton. :patsch:patsch:patsch

    When a guy has beaten a number of very good fighters and only lost to the very best he is obviously still world class just not atg material.

    I have never insinuated once he has done more than Hatton. Learn to read. I asked a question. You evaded it and are now meandering about some drivel i never even said because of your weak interpretation of the FACTS. Answer my question or go away.

    I can tell by your pathetic posts what you are doing, when did torres and vivian harris become any better than the average world title level guys that hatton fought. Yeah vivain harris became a top level opponent when witter beat him :rofl:rofl

    I agree on Scura about Hatton and Calzaghe..........but Lennox Lewis for me one of the greatest heavies ever......head to head and resume.

    Sculra in terms of modern day heavies lets say starting from Sonny Liston to now who do you rank as the best head to head?

    You guys need to actually listen to what he says.

    Im not being extreme when i say he was a bum nor will i be extreme and say he was an All time great.

    He was a great british fighter, and will deffo be a top 50 fighter in history for the light-welterweight division.

    Thats nothing to snooze at.

    But in terms of international world greats then he falls short by some margin.

    Yes he lost to two prime fighters in Pac and Mayweather but the ease in which both dispelled him was enough to warrent the glee coming from Scurla. Pac never went out of 1st gear and Mayweather never out of 2nd gear.

    Hindsight is a wonderful thing but Hatton fought certain guys at the right time and should have fought witter who very much resembled Maccarnelli to Haye.

    If you look at Haye carrer.........he fought for and defended the European belt in which you cannot have a say in who you fight, he went AWAY from home to the champion backyard and knocked Mormeck out. Beat a rival who was a top 5 operator in the division at that time to take home 3 of the 4 significant belts.

    Beat a prepared Monte Barret quicker than Vlad, or Valuev did.

    And now will go to face a prime Vladimir Klit in his adopted home land.

    In terms of legends........Haye is taking risks that Hatton or Calzaghe never took. Dec 02 to June 09 arounds 6 yrs as a pro.....Hatton has been a pro for 12 years and Calzaghe was a pro for 14 years.

    I am a big haye fan but mormeck was old and was'nt exactly unbeatable, enzo mac has been showed up to be fairly average and beating monte barrett doesn't prove ****.

    Hatton was the underdog against both Floyd and pAC- nobody was fooled as to how good he was.

    Hatton is probably done ,so your mission in life just ended.
    What are you going to whinge about now?

    Scottish sports pretty much revolves around hoping someone else loses rather then celebrating wins of their own sports.
    Football ,boxing or whatever....
    As soon as Hatton confirms he is done you will probably implode.:deal
