if Hatton retires today, is he a hall-of-famer?

    You still owe me a reply in the other thread. Own up that your post was bull****, and you were wrong.

    The post where you said it is a "no-win situation" for Pacquiao to beat Hatton. I've never followed your posts... you've been classless tonight, but that's fine.

    As a colleague, I can assure you, he's world class. The 'Ricky Hatton Sucks' thing is an internet movement.

    Which is funny considering his only loss is to the best fighter in the world.

    i'm playing devil's advocate. The Hatton fans need to see the other side of the coin.



    as for my other post, try to understand. For Pacquiao, the purse is the end to which this fight is leading. For Hatton, there is so much more than just the purse of this one fight to gain. That is a fact. Even Roach said before the fight was made that they want to fight the best, and Floyd already knocked Hatton out, so the Hatton fight is not that interesting (i'm paraphrasing, its an interview that you can find on youtube)

    Precisely. Facts are facts.

    It is what it is. People dislike him - but it's crossing the line when they say he's no good. That's fiction.

    I've never said he sucks.

    He is just not on Pac's level.

    I've said many times he is a good fighter.

    Devil's Advocate involves namecalling? No, you weren't. In no way, shape, or form, is it a "no-win" situation for either fighter. You even tried slithering out by mentioning Oscar and his fights with Floyd and Pacquiao. Absolute trash.

    Yep, it's beyond absurd. The thread starter has an agenda tonight. Whether it is just to discredit Hatton or to overvalue Pacquiao, or both, it's not altogether clear.

    Nah, I know you're not one of these people, I'm talking about them. You're multi-dimensional in your views. More complicated than most, I've noticed that.
