    I'd rather see Mayweather-Pac but hey ho!;)

    Surely the glass is half full rather than half empty where this fight is concerned?

    Well I am well looking forward if made, it is far more exciting than De Gale Vs TBA, Saunders Vs TBA or Gavin Vs TBA. Although TBA can be good. Might not be as exciting as Cleverley Vs Karpency mind you.

    I think Hattons experience might win him through he is very gritty and although he lacks power, he should wear Brook down.

    Guys I was informed on pretty good authority that Brook-Hatton will be for the vacant IBF title. Dont want to say by who but it was a definate yes when the question got asked, may turn out to be rubbish but it came from someone in the trade who direct messaged me on twitter when i tweeted that I had heard a rumour.

    Hatton's mediocre.

    If W@rren made this fight there would of been an uproar.

    ESB golden boy Eddie dont half get away with a ton of ****.

    Magic Matt's taking this with one arm behind his back .Far too many tricks up his sleeve .

    I can understand complaints about Burns-Crolla, considering how much of a step down it can be interpreted as for Burns.

    It differs from this however, which I think is a good fight, Hatton's not as proven as Jackiewicz, but realistically he's not too far away from him in terms of ability, and he's that bit more physically imposing than Rafal, so it's not like he'll be overwhelmed in terms of size.

    Tbh though man I think it maybe alright .Alvarez is huge man Hatton did not too bad against him not to get stopped unlike Alvarez's last 3 opponents Cintron Gomez and Rhodes .

    If true this has calamity written all over it...On paper it looks like an easy nights work for Brook, but in reality we are only one cut away from having Magic Matt being crowned Champion of the world...it doesn't bare thinking about :-(
