    Seeing as you are the pillock who said 24/7 is written better than anything Shakespeare could do, I see no reason whatsoever that anyone should pay the slightest attention to anything you have to say.

    Jesus, calm down.

    Hatton might not be the slickest defensive wizard in the sport, but you're confusing that with a lack of skill.

    Hatton has good skills,a great jab when he uses it, great footwork and good speed. His style is not one for showing off fancy skills, but he's got em'. Look when he actually chooses to box against opponents, his boxing skills are good.

    And as far as 'good for the sport goes' **** right off. Hatton has been involved in 2 of the 4 biggest fights of the last few years. He brings 15 thousand fans over to Vegas and helps to pack out the MGM grand in a genuine superfight, he brought in almost 1M PPV buys in the UK alone for his fight with Mayweather. He has mass appeal, and a mass following and can be involved in highly exciting fights. Now how is he in any way 'bad for boxing?'

    Idiot.

    They didnt show that much of Hattons sparring, probably on purpose. The sparring they did show of Pacman only showed his power, not boxing skill. The only thing you can really judge from the 24/7 series is what kind of shape their in and their spirits. Both men seemed to have gotten in the best shape they can and are both motivated. Thats what the show was for to see how their doing. Neither one of them showed much in the sparring that they actually aired, mainly cause both camps arent dumb enough to put their fighters best sparring stuff on TV before a mega fight.

    hatton does need to lose for the good of the sport, whoever said that well said

    if pac wins, a fight between him and mayweather would be unbelievably HUGE

    Hatton has never looked good in sparring.

    Ali was never up to much, nor was Evander Holyfield.

    How on earth could you tell from what little they showed? This is almost as bad as Suge Green saying Vitali was having knee problems before the Peter fight from a 7 second clip of him walking up a hill. :lol::rofl:patsch

    So, are you or are you not a fan of Hatton's then? It's hard to tell from your post.
