    Now he calls Paulie a "no hoper" after I asked him to provide a list of "prime live bodies" post Castillo fight.

    Guess who Scurla listed? Yup...Paulie.:lol::patsch

    PATHETIC.

    Anyway, you could do this with any fighter, if you say "he will lose soon" for 4 years chances are at some point you will be right and then you can say "exposed" like a know nothing moron.

    Why are you just typing crap? Why write such blatant lies? Seriously Strike get the **** out of here with that rubbish. I have never ONCE said Paulie was a legitimate opponent for Hatton. I NEVER liked the fight and considered it wholly pointless and a sham. But hey you write whatever you feel like. Looks like your weed just kicked in.:roll:

    Bollocks. I swear on my mothers grave that I asked you for a list, you have me 5 fighters who you would deem legit, prime opponents.

    They included Holt, Paulie and Judah.

    I believe you have genuinely forgotten, because that is what happens when people are totally blinded by bias and incapable of discussing a topic objectively.
    It is why you now truly believe that Tsyzu was past it and cheated, even though the next day you wrote something along the lines of "Fair play it was long overdue but he at last proved himself".

    If only the old files were still here I would happily never post again if you proved you never wrote that. In fact I said at the time I would save the screen shot as I knew this sort of thing would happen, but then I didn't do it and here we are....

    You shouldnt do that.:nono :patsch He said she said.. semantic debate. I know what i believe and yes i may have put Judah and Holt in that list but never Paulie. Either way it matters not a jot.

    I don't think Scurla is so stupid as to let his hate for Hatton blind the fact that Paulie wouldn't beat Ricky in 500 goes.

    He listed him as a prime, live body and stated that Hatton would not fight him.

    A lot of people thought Paulie had the style to beat Hatton.

    :lol:

    Perhaps he ought to have strengthened his criteria to include prime, live.... and wait for it.... QUALITY.

    If someone chopped my right leg off I'd be about ten stone.... stick me in with Paulie!

    So gone Scurla...let's say Hatton fights on...

    How does he fare against these...

    Bradley
    Holt
    Campbell

    Given that he is a fraud, exposed and so on...

    All of those are tough fights. Campbell is probably the easiest of the 3. Bradley can box and has respectable power as does Holt. Of course Hatton would be the favourite but i see Bradley Hatton as a 50/50 bout.

    So who would you pick? If Hatton won would it be a good win or would he still be a fraud?

    Nope a good win. Its about time he fought someone who resembled some sort of test from his own division.

    People forget easy in boxing. Tszyu was the favourite. Castillo was 50-50. Mayweather the favourite. Malignaggi 50-50. Pac the favourite. Out of 5 big fights, Hatton fought as the underdog 3 times and in even fights twice. The hatred against his record is completely unfounded. EVEN if you were to go back to when he fought Thaxton and Magee, these were decent tests. The only issue that came with Hatton is he dragged out his period as a contender - too many Philips, Tackie, Olivieras. Good fights but people wanted to know if he was elite. That is the true issue with Hattons record. As well as avoiding Witter but I don't think it's cos Witters game scared him.
