Hatton vs Prime Tszyu?

DLH coming to 140. Are you smoking crack?

What Ricky did in that fight that he shouldn't have been allowed to do is ram his head up under KT's chin, grab his arms so he couldn't punch and basically wrestle, elbow and headbutt him to death. The low blows were only a small part of it. He only gets away with that **** in Manchester.

 

Ummm....what?

 

Man can dream right...

obviously i been in the game long enough to know the golden soap on a rope would be washed very thin to make 140

 

DLH would be the one smoking crack, if he ever made 140 again.

 

Bad stylistic match-up for KT. Hatton is a swarmer who gets on the inside and roughs up his opponent.

However, prime KT would not have been blowing gas at round 7. Hatton was running in and took a few decent shots from KT, but KT didn't seem to have the strength or stamina to get Fatton off. The ref did not help KT at all.

I would say that prime KT would be more damaging and would definitely be stronger and last longer than he did that night.

The question is whether KT could cause enough damage to stop or slow Fatton down. I am a KT fan, but Fatton's style and chin does help him against KT.

I get the feeling that KT would KO Fatton on accumulation, but it is a tough call.

All-time, KT has done more than Fatton, it is just the stylistic matchup that presents KT with problems. E.g. PBF, would have a much more trouble with KT than Hatton.

 

The only thing "close" about DLH-Gonzalez was how close Gonzalez could come to for setting the record for eating the most jabs.

Gonalez won 3 rounds, and two of them were late when DLH was either tired or bothered my his swollen eye.

DLH widely outboxed him as used Gonzalez's head as target practice.

 

Indeed. It's time for people to get over it - it's been a fair few years gone by now.

 

hear, hear .

 

just a thought about boxing fans in general.

Are there more brits here than Aussies?

for whatever reasons the voting is almost exactly 3-1 suggesting Tszyu in his prime beats Hatton in his prime.

Is it reasonable to assume that if you remove the Aussie/brit influence, that everyone else just hates Hatton?

Or that Tszyu in his prime is better?
