    everyone is shitting on his style but i think its a fun style. the last two fights were boring but the castillo one was fun while it lasted. and its not like hes holding and then just stopping. i think its intriguing to watch him bully his opponents around. its a WATERED down version of Roberto Duran who held CONSTANTLY. I dont want the geeks coming here now and saying how dare i compare the two but i think ive seen enough hatton and a helluva lot of duran fights to tell u how it is.

    Its effective and gets him wins so I can't knock it but its far from pleasing in my opinion.

    I don't mind it too much - It's effective because it tires and wears down opponents - not the prettiest style to watch however.

    I find it more entertaining than Hopkins, Mayweather, & Taylor, but thats a personal pointof view! Before any of you come up with, 'oh you don't appreciate the sweet science of pure boxing with floyd & hopkins', thats not true.Hatton never ever runs from an opponent, he is constantly throwing shots & ok, he is not the most technically gifted but.......Also Castillo was worse than Hatton for clinching, headlocking and cheating.

    Anyway, argue as you guys ****ing please

    I didnt see him hold much. It was Castillo that was holding to stop Hatton's bullrushes.

    And I love his style. Im a big fan of inside fighting so Im a Hatton fan. He is the second best in fighter behind Miguel Cotto.

    Exactly! It was Castillo who was wrapping his right arm round the shoulders of Hatton, unless you listen to that imbesile Lederman

    Hopkins was actually very similar during the late 90s before he went all defensive on us. He was an inside fighter that would constantly clinch and maul his opponents. And I thought he was fun to watch also.

    Fact is when called upon Hatton performs and rises to the occassion.

    So glad hes only the un official ringside judge for HBO. He's made some bloody atrocious scorings in recent fights. Dont know which fight Lederman watches sumtimes.

    I'm with you on this one. His style is alot harder to master than people think and its effective.

    good boxing all around.
