    Obviously other will get mentioned, Gavin Rees, Valuev, Seldon etc.

    But this guy isnt even British Class and thats a proven fact, Craig Watson beat him and won every round against him and now hes the I.B.O world champion!!

    If it aint Hatton, then who is it?

    Ricky tried to buy his brother a so called World title and he ****ed up. Didn't deserve it and the interveiw after was a joke. Saying he landed more so he did but he also wasted more shots. Ndo connected 21% while Hatton 20% so when you look at it that way he didn't deserve it. Put him in there at British level and he will be screwed.

    I don't think you can read too much into a 1% difference in connect rate, esp. when Hatton was throwing more punches....

    On subject, Gavin Rees is probally the worst world champion I can think of. Just looking at boxrec he was 26-0 before his title shot and only 9 of his opponents had winning records and only 6 had won their previous fight.

    I dont understand how he gets world title shot even though it is a shitty title, Why was he even in the ring with Ndou because he doesnt deserve to be Ndou is at world level has been for a while or just short of it, Hatton is no were near that he isnt even the best in britian at this moment in time, i think he is rated 5th or something... Kell Brook beats them both convincingly.

    They had a game of rock, paper, scissors to decide who gets the belt.

    Hatton didn't pull the old 'fire' trick did he?
