    You've already shown me that you don't have the knowledge to school me on any aspect of boxing, its painfully obvious from your posts that you arn't a boxing fan.

    But you have just said you have no inclination of a Hagler Minter fight (were you to busy pimping your mamma when you were 6 prehaps?)

    (BTW, my boxing knowledeg can't be all that bad when I can at least remember the Hagler Minter fight:good)...great boxing knowledge you go there GazProm, great knowledge:patsch

    You can't remember the Hagler-Minter fight, from the way you act I refuse to believe you are over 17.

    Boy learn to read I said my boxing knowledge can't be that bad since I remember the Hagler Minter fight from the build-up (hint: prior to the fight) to its conclusion....

    don't forget (according to you) GazProm was six and too busy to watch the fight due to your day job:good

    Any time the boxer consedered by most to be the best pound for pound in the world gets beat it is a major upset. Hatton is also a very good boxer himself. I would be suprised if he wins but not shocked. A Hatton victory will go down as a upset of note but not one of the greatest upsets of all time.

    I asked myself this question and I don't think it compares with some of the all time historical upsets such as Jones vs Tarver 2, Tyson v. Douglas etc, but I'd say it would be somewhat shocking. The thing is PBF has already shown himself vunerable to an come foward aggressive style (via Castillo 1) so its difficult for me to decide. Perhaps Lacy vs Calzaghe. Lacy already shown weakness in the Omar Sheika match IMO prior to fighting Calzaghe. I realized in the fight he is easily frustrated and his power isn't as great as advertised. I used Calzaghe v Lacy because he dominated and I don't think most expected him to dominate, but knew he was beatable.
