    I just remembered I had Hatton on points at 11/2 at a bookies outside the venue. Based on that, Hatton was almost certainly greater than 5/2 to win by any means.

    whatever the Tsyzu was that night

    I think it's fair to say Hatton desrves credit for that victory

    that night - 2005 - was Hattons peak

    that night - was his greatest ever win

    maybe prime for prime - it would be a different result

    but that night belonged to hatton - it was a changing of the guard

    ever since that night Hatton at his peak = he has been gradually eroding as a fighter and now I dont think there is much left - he is one more fight from being old and shot

    I agree the power but timing is one of the first things a fighter struggles with after a layoff. Wheres is this two and half year layoff, are you just going to pretend the fights that don't suit your arguement did n't happen?

    The fact is Zoo did better with Mitchell in 2004 (6 months before the Hatton fight) than he did in 2001 and Mitchell was undefeated himself in between those two fights.

    Jeff Lacy was also American's next big thing. Nuff said.

    Zab may be competitive....but he loses every time against the top boys. He should not get any more big paydays....enough is enough.

    I said all along Mitchell was overrated as ****, but accept most held him in higher regard....but nodoby made him a top 10 p4p fighter, surely?
    Tszyu was overrated to begin with, and then consider when he's over the hill.......
    I mean....a younger Vince Phillips knocked senseless a prime Tszyu.

    Ok, he had 3 rounds in 2 and half years. 3 non-testing rounds, where Mitchell went down more times than Trotter on his boyfriend and his boyfriends boyfriend.

    The point remains. You can't be sure about several facets of a fighters game when he is so inactive at the best of times, nevermind if he is mid 30's when you'd expect a 140lb fighter to be some way past peak. 3 rounds isn't enough to conclude anything either way, but logic would suggest Tszyu was noway near peak and hence he didn't even bother with a rematch despite dodgy circumstances.

    listen ****, I'm sitting watching the olympics cheering against Britain, in about an hour i'll go out...maybe pink shirt n all....and can pick up practically anything I want, meanwhile you will be sitting in your rocking chair pulling yourself off to the memory of sitting in a taxi next to Colin Jones' wee girl and a videotape of Enzo blowing out Sergei Valjudinovs in 1.

    Who isn't "overated"??? Mitchell wasn't P4P but he was Zoo number 1 contender.

    I agree with TKO, put Hatton-Mayweather on and treat yourself to a wank.

    No ones saying Zoo wasn't past his peak, he was 34 FFS but some cresit needs to be given for Hattons win instead of all this pulling apart of (the now apparently "overated":roll:) Zoos career.

    Yeah, its still his best win my miles. Unfortunately a slight (and I'm being kind here) edge is taken off with Uncle Dave's antics and all the foul play.

    Still, good win. Best British win of the last 20 years - get the **** outta here.
