    Then we're on the same side on this one.....my position is that Hatton was a good juniorwelter......and I agree with Roach that he was a limited fighter with questionable whiskers.....but what I dont agree with Roach is him spewing it all over the media.

    What we disagree on are tit for tat semantics that dont have much to do with the end result of our opinion of Hatton.

    Hatton was a limited but very good juniorwelter with a questionable chin.
    Hatton's questionable chin is what got him KTFO by Pac, but certainly it was Pac's speed that was the major factor in that spectacular KO.

    Are we in agreement here?


    What we probably dont agree on is that my view that Hatton was on the decline from the Collazo fight to present.
    I thought he was a better, and certainly better conditioned pre-Tszyu.

    he wasn't.

    He certainly wasn't better in terms of boxing ability, speed and strength and anyways in terms of stamina what impact would that have had on the Pac fight? He was out in 2 rounds

    Ouch man.

    Freddy's soundbites have annoyed me lately, but let's keep it civil.

    That ***** aint bein honest, he's being pompous. He down talks every Pac opponent so he can look like a trainer who has the master plan to beat everyone. Instead of saying what Pac is, he says what his opponent is not. **** Freddie Shakes.
