I dont think Hatton is on the decline, he just isnt fighting bums anymore.

    Hatton's fought three top ten P4P fighters. To suggest that he can be 'exposed' by anyone is laughable.

    Lazcano? A top ten contender? A 15 month or so layoff after coming off a loss? What the hell does that say about the division then... Let's be real, Hatton is a good fighter and he has had a great career. But to pretend that his win over Lazcano was some sort of sign of success is just downright laughable. He struggled like hell and wasn't able to put away a hand picked bum. He will get waxed hard by any decent fighter, and that's the raw truth nowadays. If you want to go on about his decline or whatever, fine, but he is done in boxing except to collect paychecks (which he can still do thanks to his rabid fanbase). Decent guy but it's about time for him to hang 'em up.

    , Stephen Smith, Joe Hutchinson, Vince Phillips, Aldo Nazareno Rios, Ben Tackie, Dennis Holbaek Pedersen, Carlos Wilfredo Vilches, Michael Stewart, Ray Oliveira, Kostya Tszyu, Carlos Maussa.

    So you believe he was in his prime against these guys. So he was on his decline when he fought Collazo, Castillo, & Floyd.

    Got ya!!:patsch

    I forgot :lol:

    Mind you, Castillo barely got by a novice fighter in his only 140 fight. Let's face it, he was never very good at 140 and shouldn't have been considered a p4p fighter anyway.

    I know that. You know that. But any straw for a rabid Hatton fan to cling too is good enough. P4P my ass! :lol:

    He's no 7 in the Ring magazine contender rankings I think, go and take it up with them.

    changed it, accidently wrote Castillo instead of Callazo because y'all were talking about him

    The guy saying Hatton would have been stopped in the 10th is talking about straw clutching.

    You're an unintentional comedy genius. :rofl
