I thought it was a shame...

Yeah the old timers fought all the time and most lost from time to time.

That's what I like about a guy like Jameel McCline. If he wins, great. If he doesn't, oh well. He'll be back.

 

I know, it's so ****ing ridiculous.
He's only 29 and people are saying he should retire

 

boxing is like that these days, unfortunately. Lose one time and people will fly off your bandwagon and denounce you a bum.

 

Yeah, i think if Hatton studies some of the videos of himself when he was younger (he didnt even seem to waste as much energy, was much more patient, and even worked behind a jab) he would be in great shape... He is still a top 5 in
Welterweight and if he goes down to Junior Welter....Well lets just say im not quite on the Witter wagon yet..

 

Yeah it pisses me of some of the tits on the main board seem to think hes finished or a "bum" now,this coming from what most of us are armchair fans really annoys me,like they all knlow better,****ing pathetic.

 

Its only a lost. No harm done. Hatton will be back.

 

I think "exposed" is the popular term. :roll: I learned something about the general forum Saturday. Many there aren't very bright.

 

Totally agree. As a loss it was no biggie, seemingly bugger all physical damage done. A loss like this was no drama whatsoever a handful of decades ago.

 

no way is he a top 5 WW. i'd pick mayweather (obviously), mosley, cotto, cintron, williams and margo all to beat him. maybe even the likes of berto. hatton really doesn't have much business fighting at 147.

 

He is in the toughest sport in the world, he is a millioniare many times over, for the moment he has his health, and has shown to be better than everyone but the absolute finest fighter on the planet, what is the point in continuing?

Hatton can go out like a Spinks, Lewis or Hagler; at or near his best, he does not need to fight anymore. If he wanted to stay in the sport, with his personality he could become the face of British boxing for the media or could continue as a trainer.

 

Obviously it is up to him. Of course. Kudo's either way.

 

both he and calzaghe really need a couple more wins to truely cement their places in history and ensure their legacy.

hatton has tszyu, castillo, maussa and collazo and could do with adding witter and malignaggi.

calzaghe has kessler, eubank, lacy and reid and could do with adding hopkins and woods/dawson.

if both decided to retire now i'd feel that both had underachieved.

 

But both would have their millions and the health to comfort themselves that from that blow.

 

joe's rarely been hit during his career :tong
