Ricky Hatton knows that Kostya Tszyu is the single most feared fighter on the planet. He's well aware that the native Russian was unstoppable in the amateurs and went on to clean out the most competitive division in boxing earlier this decade, unifying the three major titles at light welter. Hatton also hasn't lost sight of the fact that Tszyu did not lose his WBC and WBA title belts in the ring and that the naturalized Australian returned from a near two year layoff to effortlessly shatter Sharmba Mitchell, who had been favored by many to defeat Tszyu.

You gotta love that avatar of yours... LOL!..... :banana:
agreed my friend however here are some reasons why it may not work out the way we expect:
1. inactivity, bloke has had 2.5 rounds in 2.5 years. Ringrust against a hatton in front of a home crowd is not something you want.
2. Michell was dreadful and imo overated massivley, Hatton would have taken him apart, I saw him struggle against mike stewart from ringside, trust me Mitchell was never a great force in the first place. old , shot and ****ting himself he was NO test for Kostya.
3. The fact hatton hasnt taken on a top five fighter may also mean we dont know how good he is. He may surprise everyone.
4. styles, Hatotns style may cause Zoo some problems the only time he lost agianst Phillips he got outworked, and this is hattons forte
5. All through boxing history we have seen fights like this ending up in upset, the young untested prospect against the supposed invincible but ageing champ.
It happens time and agian that the young lad prevails.
Ask Barry Mcguigan (v Pedroza), or Lloyd Honeygun V Don curry for example.
believe me this is 60-40 in Zoo's favour. Nothing more nothing less. ;)
i tyhink ricky should ask before using my examples :D :D
just joshing Hatton UD heard it here ......
