Hatton deserves full credit for taking the fight at this stage, no doubt about it. He could have sat back on a paper title earning decent money for bull**** defences until he was in his mid-thirties, but he didn't. He left that to Calslappy....
Hatton did the right thing. It was a brave move by a total lunatic warrior Englishman. And the UK loves him for it. He fought with self-belief in his heart and forced Floyd into fighting the fight of his life. How can anyone knock that? Hatton deserves nothing but respect, and, as it's been said many times, there is no shame in losing a fight to the "p4p king", right? Right!
Hatton deserves all the credit in the world for moving up to a division which clearly doesn't suit him, to fight the best fighter in the world at any weight.Hatton has the mark of a real fighter.
