    What the **** is this? :rofl

    Nearly every Hatton weakness you could name, Katsidis does it ten times worse. He has a TERRIBLE defence, even worse than Hatton's. He's got a shakey as hell chin, and thats at 135. Hatton has more skill, believe it or not. He has more power than Casamayor or Graham Earl, who hurt him repeatedly, and throw into the mix Hatton is a natural 140lb fighter and you've got a very easy pick

    Jesus wept.

    Yes Katsidis is a smaller inferior version of Hatton

    Hatton would hammer Katsidis into next year.

    The guy makes Ricky Hatton's defence look better than that of Floyd Mayweather, and having been dropped by Graham Earl (average punching 135) has made public a severe chin problem.

    He will probably have success at times, but Hatton's general ring savvy is underrated IMO - meaning a TKO in six or seven.

    This thread is pathetic even by realjizm's already low standards.

    But Katsidis got caught on the counter coming in hard against Casamayor, and cold in the first round. Katsidis is definitely chinny, but Hatton won't land the same punches that Casamayor did, because they are totally different fighters. Hatton and Katsidis will be toe to toe, which doesn't really give Ricky a lot of room to load up.

    I think some people on here are exaggerating Hatton to a degree... Look at the guys who have taken him the distance... Carolos ****ing Maussa went 9 rounds with him FFS.. Maussa is just as chinny as Katsidis, and a MUCH worse fighter. It won't be an early KO. I favour Hatton for sure, but it could potentially be a hard fight. They both don't have much defence, both love fighting in close, both love rough wars. Most likely, thats what this becomes. As you know, when a fight turns into a war, with two guys with less then great chins, anything could happen. That is all I am saying. Hatton has a slightly better chin, Katsidis has slightly more power. Hatton is the better overall fighter no doubt, but he is playing to Katsidis strengths in this one no question.

    To be fair to Hatton, he spent the first five rounds looking for a one punch KO, trying to take his head off!

    When he used his boxing skills he had him out of there pretty smartly - don't forget Cotto took eight rounds.

    Maussa had a reasonable chin, as he was taking a **** load of punishment - and had the most awkward style of any fighter I have ever seen!

    Katsidis is fringe world class at 135. Hatton, whether you like him or not, is genuine world class at 140. Forget the Casa loss, thats excusable but Katsidis had trouble a British level fighter in Earl and nearly lost the ordinary Amonsot. I can't see anything in his style or on his record to show he could be a force at 140. Hell, his best result at 135 is a loss!!
