The credbility of their first world title shot

Mormeck was blowing in the fight - he was 35 and had been beaten by O'Neil two fights prior. Mormeck decked Haye as well. Hatton made Kosta quit on his stool, rough house tactics or not, the man really didn't want to see any more of Hatton.

As far as the number of fights go, I think Hatton and Haye were roughly the same age, you can't punish Hatton because he's been a relatively busier fighter.

 

I was incredibly impressed by Hayes win over Mormeck. Into the lions Den and up against a fighter pretty much at the top of his game and came out with a stunning (back of the head and already on the way down) KO.
I was very impressed by Hattons win over Zoo(even though Zoo was not prime).
Pretty impressed by JC's win over Eubank (Eubank had started to decline when he fought JC).
A little bit impressed by Frochies win over Pascal.


:good

 

Haye versus Mormeck for me. Top guy in the division in his own backyard.

Ricky caught KT at the right time at the MEN.

Calzaghe against Eubank was a good fight, but Eubank wasn't really the champ.

Froch versus Pascal was really good. I would not be surprised if we heard more of Pascal in the future.

 

In this order for me.

Haye - Mormeck --------- In the champs back yard
Hatton - Tsyzu --------- Tsyzu was sliding but still a class fighter.
Froch - Pascal --------- Pascal was a good step up but not 'WORLD' class
Calzaghe - Eubank --------- Eubank was past his best and had one weeks notice for the fight
