    Can you answer me this, when the **** did i say anything about Ken Buchanan bar answer the question, which was admiting i knew nothing about him bar the small details!

    If you knew me, you would know by now that im not a bullshiter..

    Obviously you have not read the thread, i was commenting on Hatton and about the fact he cannot move up in weight, then Buchanans name is brought up

    INFACT im the exact opposite to most posters on here, il admit if i know nothing about a topic and wont make judgement!

    For you to say i do otherwise is completely false and bull frankly..i only talk about topics i have some sort of knowledge about or want to gain knowledge on

    Smith your a good poster but that is rubbish and is almost as biased as Max Molyneuxs Calzaghe is greater then Chavez post the other day.

    Ok, tell me Hatton doesn't hold/hit and hold/rabbit punch/look to refs for help and I'll tell you his game is mostly based on skill. It's based on physicality and rough house tactics, and I was using Hatton's struggles at 147 as a perfect demonstration, which stands to reason logically.

    These are facts, they can't be refuted and there is no bias. I'm saying what anybody can see if they pick up a Hatton fight and proceed to watch without his nutsack dangling over their eyes.

    Ah, your old "nutsack" comment, always your last resort. you really need some new material. Of course Hatton is a physical fighter, they arn't excluded from the HOF as far as I'm aware?? Nor are they excluded from having stuggled to beat a title holder at a higher weight.

    They are excluded by my criteria, if you don't have much skill and rely almost exclusively on rough housing (this is polite - its cheating) you don't get in the HOF. Especially when your resume is a thin as Hatton's.

    The Collazo/Mayweather fights just illustrate the point I'm making on Hatton's ability to box. He can't do **** without being stronger and cheating.

    So you're kicking out Fritzie Zivic (amongst others) now as well are you....:-(

    So what if Hatton is a physical fighter and strong at 140? You won't let him in because he's strong at the weight?:patsch

    I have no issue with ****ing off Zivic, or any consistent cheat. If the majority play by the rules why do these demi Gods get the advantage of fighting like its a street brawl? We'll be inducting Jonathan Ruiz next.

    Hatton is no way near on Zivic's level of dirty ****, obviously. It's not the only criteria I'm eliminating him on, it wouldn't be quite so bad if he actually had some sort of great resume, or boxed well outside the clinches.

    Happy reading.

    If you seriosuly think there are 10 better lightweights in history than Ken then you are the ones who need to chalk up on your knowledge. And no, we are not talkign about boxers who had one or two fights in the division then left.

    There are vastly more knowledgeable guys in that thread who disagree with you, but I forgot, Ken is Scottish, you're English, no way a Scot could have been that good.

    ...What the **** are you rolling your eyes at?

    Well that's ****ing it then. No need to ever bring it up again. Ever.

    You're having a laugh, mate.

    Four people rated him in the top 5. One of those has Stevie Johnson above Julio Cesar Chavez. Another who thinks Ramirez was better than Ike Williams. And another has Castillo ahead of Arguello. They're hardly good lists, are they?
    I didn't say that at all. I had a problem with you saying Buchanan is considered top 5 by the majority, when he clearly isn't.

    I don't have a problem rating him in the top 5. Depending on my mood, he could go between 4 and 7.
    :lol:

    **** off.

    I've never been biased against Scottish fighters. In fact, Buchanan is one of my favourite fighters of all-time and probably top 3 British fighters ever. But of course, that's the answer to everything isn't it? An Englishman has a negative opinon on a Scot, so he has to be biased, right?

    I think you should read up on my posts before you make yourself look like a **** next time.
