    Its cluctching at straws a bit , Cortez could have allowed more work on the inside but the majority of the times he broke it up Hatton was properly clinching so its not like he could really work anyway

    I think the problem for most folks is that Cortez seemed to allow Bhop to grab onto Calzaghe plenty in their fight which wasnt that long after he had been really keen to break in the Hatton May fight

    Truth be told Hatton could have had Doc Oc arms on that night and Floyd wouls still havent beaten him, I like many, gave Hatton a chance but Floyd very quickly made it quite clear how big the gap in class was

    And to top it all off, the goddamned Brazilian authorities cleared his murderous ***** of a wife & determined that he committed suicide with his wife's purse strap.

    As for Karma, I have to point out that we have no clue what he's done in his private life. Even if Gatti did NOTHING ever in his life to deserve anything negative, I also have to point out that the idea of Karma comes from a religion/spiritual philosophy that also believes in reincarnation & past lives. There's no way we can apply some sort of 1:1, proportional causality to such an abstract, amorphous concept.

    Yeh i agree with that, I personally don't beleive in karma all that "what goes around comes around" noncence, i was merely just pointing out what a lot of posters on here refer to as karma and was only saying it in my first post as a sarcastic comment to those who do..

    As for Gatti's wife being cleared of murder im unclear on the full story therefore unable to give a detailed opinion, He was one person however who may have deserved a happy retirement he seemed like a genuinely nice bloke

    It's hard to pick between Resto/Collins and Butler practically ending Grant's career AFTER the match after removing his gloves.

    j/k, it's got multiple meanings for me. For one, you could say "Eyelander" too...
