Hatton will never be able to do anything to stop the hatred, it dosen't matter what he does or who he beats some dicks will always try and put a spin on it and put him down. Some people have nothing better to do then run down the men who have got the courage to step in the ring and put it all on the line. Cut the kid some slack, he is a real tough guy who is the recognised man in his natural weight class, he also had a breif reign in the one above. All in all if he hung up his gloves now, he has done more then most fighters out there will ever do. Why not enjoy the last 3 fights or so of his career, and if you don't like him don't ****ing watch it isn't hard :good No need to keep making up bs to discredit him, just because he is british, european or he is to white. Or he takes to many shots or what he does on his time off, it's up to him as long as he keeps winning and is willing to take on the cream of the 140 division good luck to him.
It's not happening anytime soon. Katsidis would have to beat a name fighter before even being considered as a potential opponent. Hatton would be crucified for taking on Katsidis at this point considering that he's a smaller guy who lost his biggest fight.
Spin? ffs All the Hatton team are the king of spin. Anywho am I the only one who thinks Katsidis is an average banger at best? Katsidis couldnt get past Khan never mind Hatton. Entertaining for sure, but I think he is a less skilled version of a Ward or Gatti.
I voted for hatton in the poll, but to be fair, the Earl fight should have never gone over 2 rounds, as that fight should have been stopped when Earl's corner threw in the towel. He wasn't all that far away from putting him away in the first too, though whatever followed in that fight did prove that Kat's chin is a bit of a worry, especially considering his style. I don't see an early stoppage in this one. I think Kat will land and do damage to hatton, but I think hatton stops him around the 10th in an entertaining fight.
Obviously u dont know that Ganoy is ranked inside the IBF's top 15 & is on an amazing winning streak including the destruction of former world champ Robbie Peden. Ganoy is a machine & is ranked in most knowlegeable people's Lightweight top 20 at least. I see u are pulling fights from 2002 mate via boxrec, in regards to those KO losses. I suggest u take a look at some of his more recent outings.
To Strike as well, if you don't think Katsidis has power, you should ask Amonsot who suffered permenant damage and may never fight again. How about you ask Casamayor, a guy with an iron chin who was definitely hurt and put through the ropes by Katsidis. Or Earl, who was absolutely RUINED by Katsidis. Katsidis was CLEARLY winning against Casamayor, before getting careless. Yes, he doesn't have an iron chin, but he isn't the total bum some are making him out to be. I just watched a guy like Lazcano hurt Hatton, and I have seen a light hitter like Collazo almost finish him. I have also seen him KTFO by a light hitting Mayweather, and hurt against guys like Magee. To suggest that Katsidis can't hurt him is ridiculous. As said earlier, Hatton would be the favourite. However in a war, which is what this would be, anything can happen, especially considering the chin of both men.
I think Hatton still beats him right now. Both are good fighters, but Hatton has proven he is a top fighter at 140. Katsidis is at 135 and didn't beat the man there.
Yea, but Hatton is coming off of his first loss which was by KO. Every fighter reacts differently coming off a loss. When Hatton came back from 147, he didn't look very impressive either against Juan Lazcano.
