    Hatton would have beaten nearly all versions of Kosta, he could handle Tzyus power and he just poured the pressure on untill Kostya couldnt take it anymore, Tzyu was horrible when crowded and thats what Hattons style was all about. Tyzu was maybe on a downward decent but hed sparked Judah a few months before and was still a top class fighter

    Don't see how he shits all over them at that stage, he looked like he was 50 years old (I actually feel sorry for him in that fight because how faded he is) he was exhausted after 4 rounds of boxing in a fight he was actually winning fairly easily with his better skills, its a great win because of the circumstances (in Mexico against a huge crowd against huges betting odds)

    Napoles is on another level altogether in his prime, but not at that stage.

    Honeyghan over Curry has to be number one.

    With honorary mention to Stracey.

    Not only did he beat a possible great in Napoles, but he did it after THAT first round!!!

    Kirkland Laing beating Duran has got to be up there.

    It was an upset, but Duran had lost kudos post New Orleans, that would not return for a few months later when he beat Cuevas and then Moore.

    Honeyghan over Curry. A lot has been made of Curry's weight problems which have unfairly taken some of the shine from his victory.
