    Dunky Hatton is delusional and still suffering from the beating PBF gave him. As you doubt remember you and I amongst the discerning analysts predicting how PBF would beat him comprehensively. Hatton has been exposed for what he is. The truth is that he and his team have never fancied their chances against Witter. If you believe you are the best then you take on all comers period. Ajose would gladly knock him out if he is interested.

    The worst thing is that he's saying he wont fight Witter because Witter "has been slagging me in public", but isn't that exactly what Ricky did to Floyd? That's a hypocrit in my book...

    I always thought the guy was arrogant, always telling people "what a great guy I am"...

    Thanks my good man, I appreciate it. & dont worry, I would be suprised if anyone here did agree with everything I say!
    But it aint about keeping everyone happy, I just have to say whats on my mind. I let other people worry about making friends, I just lay it on the line, & if you love me or hate me, at least Im speaking straight from the heart!
    I think my posting style upsets a few people here though who want to all be pals & hold hands & all that ****, so be careful when siding with me about anything;)

    I'm a big Hatton fan. The only things that annoy me are his constant blowing up between fights and the the fact he won't fight Witter. Otherwise I don't have a problem. His actions between fights won't change now, he won't suddenly, at this stage of his career think that perhaps he should discipline himself a bit more. For me he is going to wind down his career in the near future and I feel he must fight Witter before he calls it a day. The time is right for him to step in there and give Witter a ****ing shoeing - even if he has to have to take out someone like Malignaggi first.

    No Ron I actually predicted inside 10 rounds. Specifically I said between rounds 6-10. I knew this because I have studied Hatton assidously for many years for obvious reasons and I have also studied PBF for m,any years since the Olympics. Hatton is good in fact he can be excellent against certain types but he has also been overrated and is meat and drink for certain types. Unfortunately he started to believe his own hype. Some like his trainer Billy Graham were comparing him to Roberto Duran which is sacrilege as Hatton does not have anywhere near the same skill level or defensive ability. Hatton is more akin to Jeff Fenech as I pointed out. In fact I compared his match up with PBF along the lines of Ali versus Liston, Azumah Nelson versus Fenech(2 in particular), Toney versus Barkley. Team Hatton's judgement was flawed other than they took the fight for the money. You cannot blame them for that but from the perspective of winning Hatton really did not have much of a chance. He had never fought anything like PBF whereas PBF had beaten many pressure fighter types like Hatton. I cannot believe the whole country got fooled into thinking he would win. His behaviour in fight week was out of character like a camera gangster which indicated that he was out of control and had doubts. Well come fight time you saw how PBF took him apart in one of the best wins of his career up there with the likes of Diego Corrales , Manfredy and Gatti victories. As PBF said the kid had a really bad weakness which he was going to expose and he did conclusively.

    Something else to chew on as brillant as my man PBF is he is probably not that far off from when he might begin to decline. He is not quite as sharp as he was 5 years ago perhaps this is what happens when you fight a couple of times a year. If he fights Cotto within the next 2 years PBF wins after that Cotto's chances get slightly better.

    I think credit is due because I picked the rounds accurately as well as the manner of defeat. Conventional wisdom was saying PBF on points and the Brits in particular were expecting Hatton to beat PBF. I said the gulf in class was to big and predicted a sustained beating for Hatton before he got stopped within 10 rounds.

    :shock:


    who does this Hatton guy think he is?

    he'll end up fighting at 147 again, get leathered, then making the same excuses again about weight, being a 140lber etc.
    we've heard that **** after Collazo and Mayweather. The guy is a conman.

    i stand corrected.i thought you predicted an early finish.:goodalthough i've always liked ricky as a fighter and a man,i did predict a knockout victory for pretty boy.what's frustrating was that i think hatton could have fought better,fair enough he probably was never going to win,it's just that i thought he could have given a better account of himself especially after the 6th round or so.
