Which is better, imo, than what Honeyghan followed up his win with. Correct. Maussa was a world champion (who ko'd Harris), Collazo was a Welterweight world champion, Urango was a world champion, Castillo was fringe p4p fghter, PBF was the #1 p4p fighter in the sport. It's better than any other British fighter has fought for a long time...
Yes I suppose stating the truth about your one dimensional boxer cum wrestler Hatton equates to hate. None of you Hatton nut lickers have ever made a half decent attempt to justify your claims of him being some sort of British superman. All you and others can do is ***** about Hatton having beat past prime Kostya which is similar to Holmes and Berbick beating past prime Ali. It means **** all and you guys know it.
Hold on a second who are you to start calling people nuthuggers and arse lickers and **** like that just for having different views than your own? Sleaze thinks that Hatton ranks above Honeygan, fair enough. Just because Buster Douglas beat Mike Tyson does that rank him as one of America's greatest ever Heavyweights? NO it doesn't. The whole Hatton hating is unbelievable sometimes on here, at least Hatton has had the opportunity to face the best fighter on the planet. Fair enough he got KO'd, how come Witter hasn't attracted Mayweathers attention?
Tsyzu hadn't lost in 8 years and was the champion, 6 months earlier he smashed Mitchell in 2 rounds... compare it to Ali fighting Holmes and Berbick, pllllllllleaseeeee.... :roll:
All easy fights. Lets leave aside Witter, I see no real prime names on his record no real livewire fighters such as Cotto or even Judah. Even now Hatton is bitching about fighting Maligfaggi. It is obvious that all Hatton wants is easy fights and big paydays. I do not blame him for that and applaud him for making as much money as he can, but you guys should stop blowing his trumpet and having fantasies of Ricky being some super fighter.
I'm going to try one more time with you and then just give up and assume you really are as stupid as your posts suggest. How can you equate Zoo-Hatton with Ali-Berbick? Ali had Parkinsons FFS!!! Forget Honey-Curry, if you want a decent analogy for Zoo-Hatton then Stracy-Napoles is one that holds a damn sight better. A Brit fighter catching an ATG on the downside and putting in a decent performance to win.
And do you forget when Hatton said CLEARLY minutes after the Phillips bout that it was signed in his contract for he and Witter to fight? Guess what Hatton got cut and used that as an excuse to scuttle the fight. Now Phillips who were so old shook Hatton do the soles of his boots. He even cut your poster boy and gave him a torrid time.And you think that was world class. Have you even seen the fight? Do yourself a favor and stop talking pish.
I have said earlier in this thread I bet on Mayweather to beat Hatton, so how could I possibly think Hatton is "superman" or "some super fighter"... I know what Hatton is. You don't seem to understand that. He's the best fighter in Britain, he's not the best fighter in the world outside his own weight class. But that was obvious long before Floyd beat him.
There are enough other comparisons but they all illustrate how beating past prime fighters means nothing. It obviously is not registering in your head as you want to believe Hatton is the best thing since protein shakes.
Hatton won every round against Phillips, it was a world class performance for sure. Witter blew it, :roll: like he seems to every time the pressure is on.
Now your pissing me off with your rank stupidity. Kostya was shot. He was in his late 30`s and fighting once a year against the likes of Tackie and Texas veteran James Leija. He said himself he had one foot in retirement.He had to put the Leija fight on hold because of injury.And you in all your judgement think he wasnt shot? Seriously dude find another sport to watch. Your like listening to an Apple fanboy. You know **** all about the product but rave about it like its the new slice bread.
Are you completely brain deficient ? The use of Holmes and Berbick was to illustrate that beating past prime ATGs means sweet FA. You obviously cannot grasp simple concepts. :hi:
He was Ring magazine p4p #3. He wasn't shot until Hatton beat him. Didn't you see the pre-fight? :roll: oh dear.
He was fighting a fossil. And no it was NOT a world class peformance unless your counting the WBU. Wow seriously this is incredulous. Boxing no longer has fans it has fanboys. This is truly amazing.Id bet my life you`ve never seen the fight but your simply trawling boxrec and pulling any name you can out of the hat.
