Hatton vs Hlatswayo on boxrec 05/08

ibo thats low

 

I copypaste my post from another ESB thread:




Stop the BS before it's getting out of control!

Isaac Hlatswayo is a solid contender who defeated Malinga, P. N'Dou, Baloyi and Campbell before the slick Holt outboxed him. Since then he moved up to WW to win the IBO title against decent (but not A-level) competition.

Hlatswayo is no world champion of the 4 big organizations, he's no Ricardo Torres, Junior Witter, Paule Malignaggi or Gavin Rees but he's a pretty solid contender as I've said.

He's taller than Ricky has a larger reach and he's 10th in WELTERWEIGHT in The Ring ratings. He's no joke.

So if it's a double-header with Paulie Malignaggi, after the first loss of Ricky's career, which was a KO loss, Hlatswayo is more than legitimate opponent!

 

'He's no Gavin Rees'...have you actually seen that oik or are you just making the point that he's no world champion.

Because if he's 'no Gavin Rees', god help us.

 

Bull****.

 

Wow, now u totally confused me with your expert opinion. atsch

 

Another welterweight fight? Hasn't he learned anything? If this is true I hope Hatton gets another date with the ringpost. This is all about trying to grease the way for another fight with PBF, which nobody wants to see.

 

Well... I don't think it's gonna be a welter fight... Hlatswayo is a WW right now but I don't think that Ricky's next fight will be at WW. Isaac can climb down to LWW and at 140 Hatton is the IBO champ so it's either a mistake and/or a SA editor put the very unofficial info up. I'll ask a boxrec editor if it is important but it's 90% that just some editor jumped on the info, as Dan Rafael said in his chat nothing is finalized yet, there are several opponents in discussion.

 

Don't mention it:good

For the record, ive commented on the Hatton/Witter topic so much in here and the UK forum, I really can't be arsed writing long winded comments again.

So I just decided to call bull****, short, sharp and efffctive.

 

hatton is a ****WIT!

if he indeed takes the fight.........

 

Hatton Vs who??

 

You a Witter fan?

 

I would not classify myself as a mad Witter fan per se, although I do like him as a fighter. I feel Ricky is continually losing face over the issue, and he doesn't realise it. He feels he can pull the wool over his 'fans' eyes with whatever he says as gospel, not realising us hardcore boxing fans know the truth.
