Did Fat Boy Hatton peak against Kosta Tszyu?

the castillo 4th round ko was very unimpressive wasnt it atsch

 

Its a possibility.

A bit like your peak was possibly14 posts

 

Hatton still has some fights left in him. I do think he lost a lot of his prime fighting the Stewarts and Oliveiras of the world though. Thats Frank Warren for you...

 

That was undoubtedly his physical and mental peak

He had everything to gain and nothing to lose. Now he has loads of money and exposure

He was younger, and the pints "with the lads" hadn't caught up with him

 

Wow, it seems like folks are now trying to diminish PBF's victory by sayin Hatton wasn't prime.

Maybe he just wasn't good enough to beat PBF? :roll:

 

spot on there pal:happy hatton is a warrior in the way that he brings it, pbf too talented though

 

I think Hatton just got KT at the right time and it made it seem like a more impressive victory than it actually was (not that it wasn't impressive ... but that Tszyu was a shadow of his former self)

But don't take my word for it, Graham himself said after the fight 'No rematch, we got Tszyu at the right time.'

Tszyu's own trainer said 'I told him to retire after Mitchell 2, he was getting old. We were an old fighter tonight.'

It was Tszyu's last fight ever. If he had anything left he would have come back. He still had one fight left on his showtime contract which he had to pay out to leave.

Right place, right time, right ref, right rules, right amount of money to lure a fighter who has lost motivation into the ring agreeing to these conditions.

And Castillo? Come on. The man was beyond shot, he was swiss cheese by the time Hatton got to him.

Two victories that elevated Hatton to a status that was achieved through smart decisions rather than pure talent. Props to him and his team for that, absolutely. But the guy that fought Mayweather wasn't far off the guy that fought Tszyu. It's just the opponent was prime and the ref didn't allow dodgy tactics. Thus, different result.

I wonder if Cortez had reffed the Tszyu fight would have it been different? Maybe ....

 

fat boy huh? so i'm guessing you way around 120 lbs to be able to call him that

 

:tdh

 

Probably... Now PAC's chances become bigger everyday...

 

Yes I was very impressed @ how he managed to KO a shot Featherweight.....atsch

 

what the hell does pac have to do with anything?
