    like others have said a well past-it Tszyu was only just behind in a fight where he had everything against him, including a ridiculous and bent ref. Then he quit. There wasn't much in it even then. That old version of Tsyzu would smoke Hatton on a neutral ground.

    I've said it since the fight, even that version of Kostya would beat Hatton on neutral ground. That ref was a disgrace.

    The referee won the fight for Hatton. It was a setup.

    Tszyu be knockout. Hatton was also butting Tszyu. Ref was biased as Hell.

    I think we got a pretty good look at what would happen in that fight when Manny fought Hatton on a neutral site.

    I think Hatton would have been in with a chance,im not saying he wins it but you guys are making it sound too easy for tszyu.He was a good fighter but not unbeatable!Hatton only ever lost to 2 of the best fighters of the last 20 years and he beat plenty of good guys in his career.

    Tszyu was a point up on my card when he retired. Dave Parris is indeed a bent ref, I was screaming at the telly the night of the fight. IMO the blatant low blow took all the wind out of Tszyu's sails, he quit because he was exhausted but that was the point at which the table's turned. He had Hatton under control up until then. I have to agree with those who say that even that version of Tszyu would have won a fairly contested fight, on points though imo.
