"There is only one RICKY HATTON!!!!!!!!!"

No your having a go at hattons record what about your boys mallinaggi.

 

oh now lets change the subject shall we?

malignaggi isn't as rated highly or overrated like ricky hatton, 43 fights and the only opponents worth mentioning are kostya tszyu and castillo.

 

so please name the better fighters in the guy in your avatars resume?

 

Roly u will never win an argument with those guys. I mean hatton could beat King Kong and these fighters will still not be happy. Even if he beats witter they will come up with an excuse that he his on the way down.

 

I thiunk more of a tell tale sign of steroid abuse is the fact that Floyd says that he barely ever sleeps, he is always " working when people are asleep, working when people are awake", " I need 3 , 4 hours sleep tops" . Hmm ok, seeing as that is physically impossible without the body shuting down for more then 4 or 5 days in a row .

 

i never claimed cotto had a better resume but if you must......

shane mosley
zab judah
oktay urkal
(all 3 top 10 welter weights)

carlos quintana (equal to collazo)

paulie malignaggi (collazo is malignaggis sparring partner)
ricardo torres
(these 2 went on to win belts in hattons weight division after cotto beat them)

gianluca branco (36-1-1)
mohammed abdulaev (olympic gold medalist)
demarcus corley (at the time record of 29-3)
kelson pinto (undefeated fighter)
lovemore n'dou (hatton vacated his belt to not fight lovemore)
victoriano sosa (37-3)
carlos maussa (at the time undefeated)
randall bailey (28-4)

miguel cotto's oponents combined record -

729 - 152 - 16 (6 undefeated)

ricky hattons opponents combined record -

940 - 383 - 65 (2 undefeated)

as you can see miguel cotto did more in 31 fights than ricky hatton has in 44.

 

WHAT?!?!!?!?

You have a short memory. He was going to be the undisputed champ according to the American boxing media.

All of that applies to the majority of Hatton fans, numbnuts! Even those who complained about Cortez's performance also hold their hands up and say it didn't change the outcome of the fight!

It's OK for Mesi, but not OK for Hatton? :nut

 

You better back that up!
...and are you [SIZE=-1]insinuating that in America this isn't the caseatsch

...oh and you have nothing to say about my thoughts as a black man on Bruno because YOU KNOW the majortiy of Black British feel the same way too about this disgrace:hi: [/SIZE]

 

Frank Bruno (a guy who portrayed himself as a jigaboo straight outta the Black Minstrel Show) and who was subsequently adored by the white public for it compared to Joe Mesi (a distant memory in the history of hyped-up white hope in the history of American sports), Drexl, are you having a laugh:nut

 

and you personally know the majority of britains black community do you?

 

No I don't, but being black and having lived inblack communities in the UK, i.e Brixton don't hurt:hi:

..BTW, if you want our opinion on Bruno, I can easily give you web addresses to black forums which discuss sport. :hi:

Again, I ask, are you contesting my statement that blacks at the very least regret the way Bruno portrayed himself to the white public (who subsequently adored him)?

 

what do you think of the likes of benn, eubank, watson, graham who all had a big following in the 80's and 90's? do they fall under the same bracket as bruno in your eyes?

 

No I am not contesting your statment re Bruno because I agree with it,.

what I am contestng is that britain is more racist in sport than the U.S. having been invloved in both school systems mey experience is very much to the contrary

 

both of their accomplishments are similar, collazo beat rivera and quintana beat julio.

 

he was handed a vacant belt then lost it on his first defense, similar to randall bailey who beat the reigning belt holder and defended it 3 times before losing it.
