Hatton = Fraud

Kostya was over the hill by then! A- is really a B fighter!:hey

 

I wouldnt call him a fraud but i always said he was overrated.

 

:happy:happy:good I agree 100%

 

No what I'm saying is instead of fighting people like Lazcano, Castillo, and Urango he could have been fighting, Torres, Holt,Bailey,Corley, and Witter and solidifying his dominance in his weight class against real world class opposition. I guess now you fans know why that didn't happen, he didn't want to money train to stop too soon.

 

Well then you'd be well served to continue.

 

He was over the hill, he wasn't in top shape either and the ref let Hatton do his thing...but that night, Tszyu was more than a B level fighter, that much is obvious, if you watch the fight. Hatton might only have performed once at A- level, but undoubtedly, he did rise to that level of performance, so it would be wrong to say he was never more than a world class fighter, even if for most of his career, he performed at B, B to B+ and B+ level.:good

 

Exactly right my man, he just wanted mega fights he never deserved to get or belonged in but because he has fans who enjoy drinking along, bring along some dumb band singing songs and playing instruments and that come along by the tens of thousands, these idiot promoters see "$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$" and use him as a tool to make these waste of time fights. He is a tool and I want him out of the sport. Nothing but a British Gatti, just money grubs not elite fighters stealing money from people and laughing all the way to the bank. GTFO with that.

 

Not really. :good

 

I was a bit dissappointed in Hatton's perfomance, but he's far from a fraud.

 

its true what you say. real boxing fans always knew he was though, its nothing new.

 

Hatton was never a real elite fighter, I've always said this.

Ricky was lucky that the 140 division was ****.

 

I'm sad to say that I feel like Hatton has been coasting these last 3/4 years. In this I mean that he fights a less than prime Kostya and Castillo, looks bad against Collazo and Lazcano and gets his arse handed to him on a plate by the two big names he fights. I was a huge Hatton fan til the hype got too much. As a lot of people have said, he's good, not great.

 

I find it hard to disagree with any of this.

 

It was all downhill after the mayweather loss for ricky.

He was never an elite fighter but good enough to win a belt or two against weaker non elites.

He's still a decent boxer he's just a rung below the pacs and mayweathers of this world like most fighters are.

Having said all this I am not sure many current boxers out there wouldn't have lost in similar fashion to manny last night.
