    Will somebody explain how the **** Matthew Hatton somehow holds the European welterweight belt when hes not even the 3rd best in Britain.

    He seems to think hes is somehow aloof to certain fighters when he hasnt even fought Kell Brook or Michael Jennings who would both knock him the **** out.

    In fact he seems to go about his career like Kell Brook doesnt exist. How the **** has Matthew hatton got that belt? Hes terrible. If it wernt for his brothers fame he would be nobody but an unwatchable journeyman bum

    Don't worry, he's going to get raped by Canelo Alvarez.

    Is Matt some kind of delusional trash talker or something, because gets a lot of heat around here... he's a solid B level welterweight contender with a good run over the past 12 months beating N'Dou (BS draw), Branco and Nuzhnenko. Why the hate?

    He is indeed a solid B level welter.
    Calling him a journeyman leads me to believe you don't know what "journeyman" means.

    he's not even b level

    quintana, joel julio, ricardo torres and luiza collazo are b level fighters, all of them would eat matthew up.

    Its true what another poster just said, Ricky bought him the euro title. He's not 3rd best in Britain, he's about 6th or 7th behind Watson, O'donell and others. He's a terrible fighter and its laughable that he might actually fight for a major world title.

    Hatton is a pretty good boxer - he has dramatically improved over the last 12-18 months. One thing he does lack is power. He has had to adjust his style to suit that as he doesnt look too strong in the ring.

    He is no journeyman though - he is a solid b level fighter as stated above. Alvarez should win but M Hatton will come to fight. If he isnt KO'd by Canelo he could eek out a points win.

    Ive never really understood the hate for him - last few times I have seen him fight he was actually pretty good!

    Dont blame Matthew, blame the bollocks in boxing which allows this to happen. Its not Matthews fault! He beat who he had to and won the belt

    He got the belt by fighting, and goin unbeaten, 3 world rated opponents.

    khan did the same by avoiding thaxton and murray.

    i hope matt and kell fight next

    I'm reading that Alvarez might be fighting Hatton, and chuckling to myself.

    If they put that in Manchester, they'd get less backlash if they let Liverpool beat the **** out of Alex Ferguson there instead.

    Erm...because he won the European Title. And if you have seen his last couple bouts, he has been improving...especially his last bout.
