    "Boy"...? :huh

    I know it wasn't a prime Tszyu...but Tszyu still landed, and Hatton walked through walls to get that win. It's a myth that Hatton didn't have a good chin...and it's usually people who have only seen the Mayweather and Pacquiao bouts that think that.

    Name the bouts any of these have had that would have stopped Hatton in his tracks that night? I would favour prime Hatton over any of these, with Bradley probably having the best shot of beating him.

    Tszyu had overrated power, and by the time Hatton faced him, he was shot. Trust me, Hatton has a horrible chin, and the new breed of 140 lbs train better, take questionable supplements, and hit harder.

    Hattons fitness regime when not fighting is awful. Hes a drinker, big eater, and takes/took other dubious substances. Along with his current mental attitude it suggests he is "shot" as a fighter.

    By saying "shot" I mean physically as well as his mental comittment to the sport and its tough training demands.

    LOL you are deluded, Hatton had a great chin and great footwork these 2 things are seriously overlooked when looking back at Hatton as a fighter. Many people cant see past him KO'd on the canvas after the Manny fight but they forget how he ruled the 140lbs division for 4 years and stepped up to the plate to fight 2 of the best fighters on the planet.

    You should ask Zab Juddah if Kostya has over rated power.

    Zab has no chin, and Zab was shot when he fought KT, he wasn't in his prime like KT was, a prime Zab kills, absolutely destroys, annihilates, obliterates, decimates, devastates, pulverizes, de-humanizes KT, but only during his prime, not a nano-second before or after his prime.

    I think Bradley might beat him, but he would probably have beat all the rest.

    I'm talking about prime fighters, in their prime, you know? not before or after their prime, but at a moment in time, when said fighter is high above the mucky muck of his previous and future incarnations.

    Nope, Hatton was a glass jawed joke, he would be tasting canvas like it was the poontang of a cheap english *****.

    And Berto, don't get me started on what Berto would do...suffice to say, that Hatton would need a feeding tube after that brutal beat down.

    Please tell me who exactly Andre Berto has fought? His name is constantly banded around forums when mentioned as a possible bout for one of the big boys and everyone says people are ducking him. what has he done to land a shot at floyd or manny? he would be outclassed, outboxed and easily beaten by both.

    Prime Zab would destroy a prime Kastya at 140 lbs?!!!!!! my guess is you have only seen highlight reels on youtube and came up with this conclusion!! Kostya was an animal at 140 and was the man in the division mayweather ducked!! everytime juddah stepped up he was beaten and beaten easily. he has no heart,poor stamina and apart from a nice uppercut and great speed he was nothing more than a massive wasted talent.

    Oh and the castillio that hatton KO'd would take Berto at this stage of his career (pound for pound)

    Balloning up to 14 stone inbetween fights can speed up the "being shot" process

    Prime Hatton is like Sasquatch or the Lochness Monster, a formidable leviathan that only exists in peoples imaginations.
