admit it....who was fooled by Hatton's boxing career?

Great post TFFP, theres only Pryor and Chavez in modern times that deserve a mention .. Tzsyu was class but not in those guys league, ive got the fight were Vince Phillips takes him apart and thats a brutal beating .. Vince was a talented dangerous fighter back then

 

Get a life cockhead

 

Hatton is hilariously **** at top level. Hopefully he fights Cotto now.

 

Id pay handsomely to see that. **** it he doesnt even need to face marquee names in the sport. Just face some of the 2nd stringers at 140 like Torres Holt Bradley Berto Witter and i assure you Hatton will either get KO'ed or look awful in the process. The man has been picking and choosing his opposition for years and then trys to make a massive leap in class from guys like Paulie/Lazcano to Pac? This is what happens when your top of the pile and market yourself as such. Eventually you have to fight someone with a pulse. It was only a matter of time before he got found out. Both times he was completely humiliated.

 

*sigh*

Come on, I'm no Hatton fan, but this disparaging of his whole career is over the ****ing top.

 

I have to admit, I was never a Hatton fan because of the WBUllshite days. I also never rated him, because he has always just be a crude brawler who was destined to be found out against the elite at the elite level.
I dont really take any satisfaction in seeing him humiliated like he has been against Mayweather and now Pacman, as he still has millions of pounds in the bank thanks to the "fans".

 

Iv never insuated that. Im merely pointing out the obvious which most have chosen to ignore. There was a massive hype train behind Hatton which was completely unfounded. He's NOT one of the best fighters in the world. He's NOT P4P material. He didnt rule 140 with an iron fist and defeat the BEST contenders at his weight. He's NOT a 6 time world champ. And yet the entirety of his career was shrewdly marketed on this hollow premise. And thousands of his fans lapped it up. Is that not concerning?

 

Bang on target............I dont think Scurla is dismissing him as a good fighter which is/was but what he is disputing is the fact that the british media and warren/ hatton family have marketed him really well.......in the sense that they .to convince the public that he is an all time great and go on about him being a 2 weight champion and 6 times this or that.

A poster said that he chose his opponents and then hype up a fight with the very best as it made alot of sense. If he loses then he loses to the very best and get richly rewarded AND at the same time skipping tougher. better but less financially rewardings fights.

He will go on on.....trust me.........and fight someone handpicked who either dosent hit hard/ has a soft chin or is a name and well past it.

He wont fight Bradley, holt, Witter etc.

Then they will tell us all he is on the comeback with a new trainer........and a big british fight against Amir Kahn will happen unless either of them get exposed again.

 

Taking on the BEST fighters in the world when a massive pay day is at stake doesnt deserve credit in my eyes in the slightest. Thats merely doing whats best for yourself. Those fights happened because of the huge amount of money to be made. Hatton made in one fight what some boxers dont make in a lifetime. Equally whilst loosing to Pac and PBF is not a disgrace the manner of his losses were. It wasnt even close and was akin to a father beating his child.

As said already popularity is not a prerequisite for greatness and Hatton simply didnt have those skills before and certainly doesnt have them now. His whole premise was based on smoke and mirrors and when all is said and done, although he achieved wealth in this sport, he never did it justice because he chose WHO to fight and WHEN to fight them.

Dont get it twisted i do not wish malice on the boy but i will ALWAYS call a fraud when i see it. It was plain as light is day his career was a sham from the early WBU days. The chickens came home to roost. Hatton knows that now.

 

Is witter more of a sham he lost to far worse fighters than hatton and one of his best wins was harris who got beaten by maussa 2 years before witter faced him.

 

Did Witter have the media and a freight train of hype behind him? Was his career wrapped in cotton wool by FW and SN? Was he given silver spoon treatment by FW? Did he not face the unbeaten IBF champ Judah in his 19th or so bout? Has he not been a triple domestic champ despite being promoted by an average promotion with no economic clout and firmly established himself on the world scene as a legit contender facing ALL comers put in front of him and NOT avoiding dangerous opposition? Which part of his career was a pretense YOU TELL ME! ****ing noobs. You clowns have been watching this sport since yesterday and glibbly ignore the FACTS.

 

Your Hypocrisy is laughable

 

Someone give Scurla his medication...he's been on shitting on Hatton for two days solid now.

 

You dont even understand the meaning of the word Hypocrisy. :roll: DISPUTE ANYTHING I HAVE SAID if my words are hypocritical.

 

What has he said that's hypocritical? Break it down for us.

He's not 'shitting on Hatton', he's telling it the way it is. What has he said that you vehemently and vociferously disagree with?
