Who Gets More Props, Hatton Or Tszyu

indeed, but sometimes hindsight is 20/20

He may have been one of the most skilled, but the fact that he retired after losing says alot about his motivation and dedication.

 

It also says a lot about the beating he suffered at the hands of Hatton. He was well and truly busted up. KT is a proud man and the only fight he would have wanted after that would have been a re-match and I'm sure he realised he would have fared no better. And it's not hindsight ranking him so highly. That was his actual ranking in Ring magazine at the time, based on his longevity as champ and his 3-round demolition of Sharmba Mitchell (then ranked 2 at 140) just 7 months earlier. It's amazing how people try to re-write history to diminish Hatton's achievement.

 

Castillo wasn't looked upon as being nearly as shot when he fought Hatton as Chavez was in 2000.

Everyone knew the WBC was up to no good when they named Chavez the mandatory for Tszyu's title.

Hatton's win over Castillo is miles better than Chavez's over Tszyu.
