Hatton had a great career and was a quality fighter but Floyd Mayweather and Manny P are two all time greats who had his number any day of the week,no shame in that or shame in liking him. I've got a worse one than that actually.Ever since Anthony Crolla got hurt stopping some burglars I had big respect for the guy and thought he made the most of his limited ability. Crollas loss to Linares did bring me down to earth with a thud and embarrassing enough I wasn't clued up about Linares who looked magical against Crolla and even more so in the rematch. Note to self.......Don't ever get carried away with a Joe Gallagher fighter again lol.
Bit ashamed of enjoying De Gales run as champion.sure he was a bad nob head but he got my respect for practically fighting away from home every time.Still believe he was a good boxer in his prime but after too many wars he went from primo to zero in quick time. Don't mind admitting that I fell for the Eubank jnr psy op as most of us did,despite Saunders telling us for years that he was crap lol.
Khan and AJ. What the **** is it with glass chinned Brita and not only not being able to keep distance but closing the gap themselves and getting torched? Never liked AJ though, only Khan, but I did think he was the best HW of this generation H2H, but Ruiz absolutely strong-arm-robbed AJ's soul and he aint kicking it in. Khan -- even after getting his crank punched loose multiple times -- still carried on like a fighter....... Until Crawford castrated a shot to trash Khan.
I confess that as a Pacquiao fan. I am not a fan of his style or skill set. I prefer Marquez or Floyd Mayweather exquisite boxing IQ and techniques. I know Pac has a lot of speed and power but it's called boxing and skills pay the bills.Over the years I have come to love the nemesis on the other side,his arch rival, Marquez. It's still a love and hate relationship with Void joy Mayweather. All are atg's and well respected boxers for many years and there's no shame in losing to the best.
seems all those sparring tales of AJs fragile mandible were right.Khan made his knockouts so much worse by literally running on to punches.AJ on the other hand looks so funny how a six foot seven,physical specimen can crumble off a punch that most could take without issue.the world according to those with certified Glass built jaws is very much different to ours.it's been said that the laws of physics and the universe don't apply those packing glass.
I believed in Don Curry the Cobra until he ran into a British "Hype Job" called Honeyghan ...Lol Hype hype lol Ya cannt beat da Jamaican blood baby , fire & grit in all of us! This content is protected
I've never bought into any hypejobs thankfully. The closest i've got is the Matthysse hypetrain...but can't help eye injuries and getting ravaged in the balls can you? With OP I'm ashamed to say I actually thought Haye and Wlad would have beaten Fury. Not a chance in hell. Broner ass beating was a given, already lost to quinteor and PDL. AJ got gifted gold and I was just waiting for him to get beat Usyk heavyweight hype is the next big one boys, Wilder and Fury would knock him flat out...and so would AJ if he connects with him. Usyk is eyeing up an AJ payday at HW, nothing more.
