KO12 Kostya Tszyu, KO4 Jose Luis Castillo

I never take the Castillo victory that seriously because i feel Castillo lost to Ngudjo the night Hatton fought Urango. Castillo was **** poor against Ngudjo and already had a hard career so i never thought of his win over Castillo as anything special...although on paper it looks a great win.

 

Tszyu & Castillo went on to achieve......... what after Hatton?

 

Slightly less than Jones and Lacy.

 

Hatton is not a great fighter mannnnnnn.......why do people keep saying this.

A world level champion who was able to give any fighter trouble when at his best but certainly not great.

I dont know why we keep harping on about greatness.

For me the only true greats from British boxing in the last 50 years are Lennox and Naz.

 

Naz did nothing to suggest he was a 'great' fighter. He was better than Hatton, but he certainly wasn't great, or at least, he didn't prove he was.

 

good post but why would you give him a chance against Pac or PBF? You knew he was a fraud so why think he could hang with elite fighters who weren't done?

lets face it....Hatton's 2 supposed big wins are a home-cooking helped win over a faded Tszyu who announced his retirement after the Mitchell rematch and has not been close to fighting since the Hatton farce (he already had more than a foot in retirement) and a shell of a smaller Castillo was was never an elite fighter and wanted his payday and out.

 

Is it not time for the nurse to wipe your bottom again? (makes virtual "wanker" sign)

 

Hmmm... this is about right methinks. :good

 

normally I hate liars, but I just find this hilarious/embarrassing.

 

Well when Naz was at his best he was very good, it took a legend in the same weight category to beat Naz when Naz himself was past it.

Kosta was meant to beat Hattonw as he? Bollocks......that fight was taken cuz warren knew it was the best chance to take on Kosta and at one point they had to take the risk..........becuase if they lost he could he lost to the best.......which is a very good trick that hatton has learnt.

Wont fight witter because if he did lose.....then he would look a right mug.......but if he loses to mayweather and pacman then he lost to legends or as ricky says top pound for pounders.

Very smart moves............watch Amir Khan do this.........milk the train by fighting Morales, Casaymayour etc.....legends from lower weights.

 

Of course Zoo was supposed to beat Hatton...and quickly! That fight was made because Hatton put his foot down and wanted it, Warren was quite happy to carry on filling the MEN with WBU title defences.

It comes to something when a fighter gets **** for wanting to fight the best....

 

mate i bloody remember it myself...........course Hatton himself at THE TIME wanted the champ..........any fighter has to delude himself somewhat..........But warren only said yes when the TIME was right.

Besides that Hatton left old warren and took some of the tricks of the trade with him.

Pick and choose, pick anc choose.......pull wool over the masses.

Both times ive been right about Hatton.......said he would get knocked out late by mayweather and lose on points by pacman.......yet he got worse results.

Also remember thinking he would be Kosta and Castillo his signature wins.

If he fights the Katsis bloke he will win and claim to be the best 140 pounder again............and WILL DEFO fight Khan but i predict next summer...

 

**** sake why do people have to protect the ****ing pleb...........he is not the only fighter who has done it.

Mayweather guilty
Bowe guilty
Holmes Guilty

I mean in fact i can think of many more..........BUT these fighters were far better Head to head and accomplishments.........but why do we have legions and legions of hatton fanclubs boys saying he was a great champ when he wasnt.........that he dominated the 140 division which shud not really exist anyhow.

If the average world level operator retires.........at this very second he would have failed to faced Cotto, Mosley, Marquez, P. Williams, Margarito, Casamayour, bradley, witter, z. judah, c. baldomir, alexander just to name a few that surround the little wool over the people eyes fighter weight class.

I cant wait to hear it.........BUT but but margs and williams are to big, but but alexander and has just come on the scene but but witter cant draw a crowd, but but but cotto was in this weight and hatton was in the wieght and blah bloody blah.

Hatton fans repeat after me -
'Ricky was a very popular, cleverly marketed fighter who wisely attached himself to a football club that was popular enough to attach themselves to a succesful fighter with exciting style to the casual observer. He took 3 risks in his life and failed badly on two. He won the main championship in the a division of the 140 pounders (which boxing promotors invented to create more business) that was only taken seriouly when mr Pryor won his ibf crown in 1984. Ricky was and is an average world level operator who is the equivelent of what Everton currently are in the premier league and european standings.

thankyou bye bye
