    Enough of this 'in his own backyard' excuse bull****.
    American fighters have been fighting in their backyards for years with little complaint from most Europeans, deal with it.

    That WAS a prime Kosta Tszyu that fought Hatton. The ref was the factor in their fight. He KO's a prime Hatton everytime as long as the ref is Cortez or Bayless. If Hatton can't fight inside, he's not effective. He was never a boxer then, nor will he ever be a boxer. He's an effective brawler at best.

    So I guess his performances against Judah and Mitchell showed how out of prime he was. :roll:

    you are underrating Vince Phillips a good bit.

    The majority of his losses came after he was about 36 and he was talented enough to be somewhat competitive until almost 44 (which is no small feat). He was only stopped three times in his career. One was a from a bad cut (he had some trouble with cuts in his career) in seven rounds against Jones (who was a decent southpaw fighter who fought for the title against Rosario (KOd by in 6) and Whitaker (12 dec for Pernell) and even got a stoppage of an ancient Julian Jackson in his very last fight), the next was against a tremendous Quartey in the third and he got up off the canvas but the ref rightfully stepped in (this fight was in St. Maarten and Vince threw over a 100 punches in the first round), and the last you'll recall was the Millet fight when Vince was just nearing 36 years of age.

    He was 35-3 when he fought Tsyzu and had moved down from welterweight. His other loss pre-Tsyzu was a split decision to Ellis (who was an Olympian). Vince was a pretty damn good fighter who had some out-of-ring personal issues but when he was right he was quality.
