Isaac Hlatshwayo Chosen For Hatton!

Hatton is not even close to one of the best British fighters atsch

Lazy journalism

 

before i rag on hatton can we have a source?

 

he is a well regarded british boxer but not the best!

 

Wow looks like Hatton is going to back up those substantial claims of him being the best light welter on the planet by facing all comers.


Starting at the back of the queue.

 

Well, at least you made your criticism amusing

 

Whatever you might say he his not a bad boxer, getting beat of the best fighter in the world proves that.

 

Don't get me wrong, he's a perfectly decent world class fighter but hardly one of our greatest ever.

 

very true.

 

hatton aint at all a bad boxer he is quite a good boxer , he is a good pressure fighter witha great body shot on him! he went 43-0 berfore his first loss a excellent record but i dont belive he is the best to ever come of britian

 

Oh no I know what u are saying but other people dismissing him as crap just because he got beat.

 

I wouldn't be happy not because he's fighting a nobody in a comeback fight. Plenty of great fighters have fought nobodies in comeback fights. But because he's talked a lot about giving back to his fans that came over to the US for him in his last three fights. To call a fight against Isaac Hlatshwayo giving back or to fight a guy like Hlatshwayo at home and then expect your fans to fly accross the atlantic for all of your other fights is a real slap in the face to your fans. This kind of **** is why fighters shouldn't be promoters. Because when its there ass on the line they can convince themselves that this kind of fight is ok (a-la DLH against forbs). If he's talked up his next fight as more then just a comeback fight against a bum then he has to deliver. I'm not going to go ape **** until this is official though.

 

In a list compliled recently by The Times, they put Hatton as the 10th greatest British boxer ever.

 

The Sun had an embarrassing list of the top 10 British fighters, so heavily stacked in modern fighters favour it wasn't funny

Joe and Ricky were 1 and 2, with Barry McGuigan 5

Eubank, Benn, and Hamed also made the list

Never heard of Jimmy Wilde clearly. Ted 'Kid' Lewis? Fitzsimmons? Driscoll? :-(

 

actually looking at the guy's record Ive seen worse comeback fights. I've never seen him fight though.
