What more you want me to say. He lands a punch then holds. It's not that I dislike Hatton I just dislike his delusional fans who don't like the truth. His fights are not that exciting at all but to talk to some of you guys you would think his fights should be fight of the year.Comment

Hatton got Castillo @ the right time. We all saw that Jose looked slow and off balalnce right form the jump.
PBF fought Castillo 5 years ago...before the Corrales wars and hadnt lost for 4 years before. I think the Corrales wars took the rest ouot of Castillo. He looked like assagainst Reyes and Ngoudjo.
THe only times Castill lost w/out getting K'd was by PBF. That says something.Comment

What ridiculous thread/first post:
What is next, someone saying that Foreman and Frazier were losers because they could not stop Ali like Larry Holmes did.
Wow, this way of thinking should put Tyson over Ali because Ali got his ass whooped by Berbick and we all saw what happened to Berbick against Tyson.Comment

You know what, I do not even think Hatton's holding is all that bad, at least not like Ruiz.
Hatton's is more about bullying and seeing who is stronger, while Ruiz is about survival. Of course Ricky's holding of Collazo in the later rounds was about survival and you can rip him on that, but other than that, not all that bad.
It is not "artistic" the way he does it, not like Jack Johnson, which was very funny and embarrassed his opponents, but I am not going to knock him bad for it anymore. ****, I did not like how he did it to Tszyu, but a fighter has to be prepared for anything, even if it is against the rules. Although my complaint in that fight was that Ricky just nodded to the ref when he did not like when Tszyu did it, but if Ricky was doing it, the ref let it go.
I honestly do not think Hatton is stronger than Tszyu nor do I think he could of gotten away with it if it was years before, but Hatton did what he had to do (if I like it or not) to win the fight.
I do not mind him going into clinches to get a short rest in order to explode with combinations, but I would hope he would do it a bit less.
Hatton is a tough fighter which is why I never understood why he did not want Mayweather and Cotto, but maybe he just is not as confident as I think, after all, he has never really fought a "Great" let alone a good fighter that is in his prime, near the top of his game, or just on the way down.
His two biggest wins were a 35 year old Kostya Tszyu who was inactive for a couple of years from two injuries (that needed surgery) and had not fought more than 9 rounds in 3 years and Castillo who was not only moving up, but did not look good in his last fight, went through to many wars and looked shot from the beginning of the this fight.
I do not want to be to hard on Hatton since it is a hard occupation he is in, but I would like him to test himself against the so called best.Comment
