    So OK, lets say Ndjoudo had stopped Urango (as quite a few on here predicted) I'm sure there would have been a "Hatton struggled to a points win against a man Ndjoudo KO'd" thread from one of the usual crowd....?

    Fair comment?

    Since we have an interest in biscuits, I can tell you all 95% of biscuits here are imported. That is how much we care for, or have a heritage of being biscuit connoisseurs.

    The only home brand I can think of is called Kex and it is a really thick biscuit that is usually dipped in milk. I personally do not care for them as they look like dog biscuits.

    He never hugged Floyd (he never got the chance), he didn't hug Lazcano much (it was a real fun scrap), and he never hugged Pauli.

    He didnt hug Castillo (the fight before Floyd) much come to think of it (or at least it was over quickly), and before that he fought Urango?

    hold on a minute, urango looked good last night but no need to think hattons resume has improved drastically just because he beat ngoudjo, i favoured urango by stoppage last night and was right, as hatton showed urango can easily be outboxed as bradley and holt would also show, a win over ngoudjo means nothing as ngoudjo is weak, shouldnt of been fighting for a title and wasnt in my top 10 before his fight last night

    on another note had urango lost the hatton haters would of had a field day

    Castillo instigated most of the clinches in that fight to get away from Hattons bodywork.

    He was hugging Maussa, Castillo, Collazo, he was trying to hug Mayweather, he hugged and mauled Kostya like a *****. He was hugging Lazcano later on too.

    I would say Kostya Tszyu was the start of the hugging era, basically as soon as he stepped up. Even I was a fan of his style when he was actually genuinely exciting in the WBU era. Then he really did fight like a Chavez. Now he simply claims he does.

    He attempted to hug floyd a hell of alot and the lazcano fight was fun but alot of holding and pauli ruined what i thought would have been a good clash of styles.

    You may want a pinch of salt to go with that "Wow".

    There was nothing not to like in the WBU days. There weren't too many indications he'd morph into huggy bear. He still put on a lot of pressure, seemed like more punches, always on the attack. He had me really excited.

    In the end though it looks like that was because he was facing sitting ducks.

    Can be swapped round on to hattons win on paulie though. Hatton tko'd paulie who beat herman who beat urango. Thats abit confusing but do you get me ?

    Don't bring me into this . I'm not a Hatton fan, but I will give credit where credit is due, Hatton has achieved and deserves credit. You just ****ing hate and spout **** about the man for no reason at all....you and Sweaty Nuts are the worst type of fight fans:-(
