True, but i'd rather watch Hatton fight Bradley than Lazcano, and so would everyone else who is'nt a huge Hatton nuthugger. :good
Listen son, I'd post tthe same **** about any other fighter. I have a problem with any fighter talking out of their arse.
Well i hope Hatton wins big and goes on to fight Malignaggi, whom lets face it beat Ndou much easier than Witter did, plus he just squeezed by Herman Ndgoujo (spel?) who is a more dangerous fighter than Harris.:yep
yep even more than Cotto, but Maliganggi fought a grandad version N'Dou. People forget Witter had a severe hand injury in this fight, after putting N'Dou on his ass twice.
After Mayweather you can't begrudge Hatton fighting a Lazcano. Been reading a lot about how Hatton has made sure the fight is at British prime time to repay all his fans and not make them stay up until 2am like Calzaghe-Kessler etc. So how the hell is the fight on Sky Box Office Ricky?!?!!?!?!? The "I'm doing it for the people" stuff starts to sound like bollox when Hatton and Sky are trying to dress this up as ppv material. Still, expect there'll be a fair few soccer fans who also like a jolly in vegas who'll fork out
The fights where only two years apart, and Ndou hadnt had any demanding fights between. If it hadnt been for the two knockdowns it would have been a draw.
Obviously Witter was hurt and went to conserve his lead, which led to a boring fight after a great start and N'dou clawing rounds back, I dont know if you can use this fight as an indicator.
Its immaterial. Bradley is the WBC mandatory is he not? If so that means his earnt his shot. Witters earnt his and yet Hatton continually avoids him like the plague and has done for the best part of a decade. The man has NO CREDIBILITY or honour whatsoever when he continues to blindside the uneducated public again and again. Why does he think his BS will wash? Because his fans buy whatever drivel comes out of his mouth. Recently we heard how Hatton turned down HBO and Showtime in the wee hours so he could fight at a British time slot for less cash. Again MORE bull**** because both TV Networks told him to **** off. The man is a charlatan. Anytime you sell that many tickets -for a fight that has as much significance as the corn on the end of my toe- theres a big problem. Hatton is nothing more than a media creation and will soon be exposed badly as a sham.
Correct "IN BOXING". Outside of boxing NO ONE has heard of either fighter. Thus your point has no merit whatsoever.
Gazoc there isnt smoke without fire. If Hatton had announced he was fighting Lazcano and never made it out to be more than it was no one would have had a problem. But when you try and sell me Mutton dressed as Lamb when im a hardcore boxing fan your ****ing with me. Couple this with the fact that his been dodging Witter for the best part of a decade we have a serious problem. How on earth can you call yourself the best fighter in the world at 140 when we dont even know if your the best in Britain, and wont fight your main threat but rather take "tune up" bouts against nobodies and then sell it as "big fight"? Why is Hatton ALWAYS taking "tune ups"? At least a 3rd of his career has been a tune up. Its utterly shambolic.
No offence Scura but I've done this with you already over Hattons confidence builder after Mayweather....but to say Bradley must have earned his mandatory status is bollox. They've just kept him undefeated, without meeting anyone pariculary impressive and somehow got the #1. The fact none of the Yanks havn't heard of him speaks volumns and is hardly "immaterial" as you put it, the facts still hold.. If Bradley was facing Hatton next week you'd be pulling his record apart, calling him untested, no power etc...
The difference is Lazcano was picked for Hatton to look bad, although I think Lazcano could make this a dull fight which wouldnt help Hatton in the slightest. Bradley isnt handpicked. If Witter win he now has the time not to worry about facing a mandatory in the near short term future.
Where are all of Hattons tune ups that you speak of? Personally over the last 5 fights i think Malignaggi has a very good argument for being ranked above Witter at number 2 in the division.
