    Yes.

    The Haye avatar, Hatton message under my name and the fact that I said 'showtime version' weren't giveaways at all.

    Hatton whipped him fair and square. One thing that can be pointed out though is that Tszyu only had 1 fight in two and a half years prior to Ricky.

    My friend thinks Haye can dominate the HW division and he's a big Hatton fan who was happy to see Witter lose.


    :hi:

    It was only 7 months after the Mitchell fight though.

    So Tszyu would have trained, beat Mitchell, rested for a few months and then gone into training for Hatton again. So I don't see that being a cause of the loss for Tszyu.

    Zoo was older, and Hatton cheated up a storm.

    Im not putting Ricky down, but its still only 1 fight in 2 and a half years. Boxers who are almost 36 years old have a hard time staying sharp with so much inactivity. Thats no slight against Hatton, but a fact.

    Im one of the biggest Tszyu fans in the history of mankind but Hatton fought a pretty flawless fight against my man.

    People who saw Hatton isnt a real boxer and a wrestler etc, obviously are forgetting the history of boxing and hall of famers in Gene Fullmer, Carmen Basilio, Mickey Walker, Harry Greb, who were all great boxers but as a brawling type of fighter.

    Hatton isnt great yet, but there is time.

    Absolutely :good

    Calling a fighter "past it" is not proper after the event, as his opponent creates part of the effect.

    I hate to say this, but it is down right irrational

    Whats even worse are the idiots who call him a holder, he doesn't go inside to stall, he goes inside to bully and break bits of your body into smaller bits.

    I think Tszyu gassing by round five was an indication of where he was at in his career ...
