    Its the trendy popular thing to say at the moment.

    The truth is Hatton nearly didnt drop a round against a ring top 10 contender.

    Nice of him to state and acknowledge that Hatton was elite though. I take it you agree with him on that as well?

    This articles not so bad actually, true in place; but I cant believe the stick he's getting generally! The guy had his head punched into a ring post last time out. Hes comeback and won without Hadly dropping a single round. OK it wasnt the greatest of performancs but..

    No ****. I'm sure you've noted before that I'm not a Hatton fan, but I can't believe the **** he's getting on here/ in the media after winning a good fight.

    The media is always too negative toward British and European fighters.

    He calls Lazcano a blown-up lightweight, but in fact he had a big height and reach advantage over Ricky. I doubt if Lazcano can still make lightweight, but I think Hatton could with his smaller frame.

    Lazcano couldn't have been Ring top 10. He hadn't fought in nearly 18 months; Ring drops guys out on a year of inactivity.

    Hatton pretty clearly lost two rounds, and he seemed to get a lot of help from the ref (who wouldn't break up clinches until Hatton looked over to him), but he dominated either way, so it's moot. If he's shot, let it be proven in the ring.

    Lazcano was defiantly a top 10 contender with ring. You may or may not agree with it; but he was. That is fact.

    Its not something I would make up because its so easlily shot down in flames.
