manny steward on hatton zoo

i know, the fact you have turned out to be quite cool makes me wanna yack, i had got used to the idea of thinking your an asshole too much. Once people forget the bullshit sounding the Hatton situation and watch the guy, he's got some talent. He's also a very good fighter to watch. I know you think Tszyu will win, but who do you want to win? i want hatton to win, my fear is that he'd never leave the UK ... but then again if you beat KT in convincing fasion ... i guess that makes you the next best thing in the 140's and you fight where ever the fuqq you wanna fight. if he does indeed beat him, i'll be glad cuz he seems like a good young champ. him and cotto is all i want, in a very heterosexual boxing type of way. imagine a fight btwn them two, they'd never talk shit to each other. i figure them to be real respectable.

I agree 100% that you can't compare the level of opposition yet but I don't think anyone could have dealt with his victims any better than Hatton did. Alot of the people on here make out Zoo to be indestructable but 6 months ago they were saying Mitchell was gonna take him. KT has flaws just as Hatton does and it could be that Hatton has the tools to exploit them. I think that Hatton would have more problems with a super-slick boxer than KT, right hand bomb aside. When I saw Hatton in his first fight, I tipped him as a future champion. He has improved immensely. Importantly, he has not sustained damage. If he has learned the tools of the trade, he should be capable of avoiding (to a large degree) the predictable right hand of Zoo's. I am of the opinion that he is too strong for Zoo. A fascinating work rate is in his favour. Prediction: Zoo meets his match. If not, then Zoo is a great in my estimation. Because, it's going to take a great fighter to beat Hatton at this stage of his career. Zoo does take a punch well though. But, I've never seen anyone really attack his body, the way that Hatton is sure to do.

why, thank you :) why, youre welcome :D

i'm very aware that it was a joke you fool, i just ... realized that i think, i may like hatton a lot more than i've ever admitted to. i think i gotta yack now .... i know, the fact you have turned out to be quite cool makes me wanna yack, i had got used to the idea of thinking your an asshole too much.

Wow, you wrote all that for me!! I've never said Hatton the greatest, thats a little too much pressure to put on a good talent. I just think he's got ability and he takes too much shit for his fight locations. Take the message as it was intended baya, a joke. Our little spat is just a joke. P.s. Cotto aint all that :p i'm very aware that it was a joke you fool, i just ... realized that i think, i may like hatton a lot more than i've ever admitted to. i think i gotta yack now ....

My opinion of Steward continues to worsen. The man is an idiot

dude, our spats came in under the context that "hatton is the greatest" type stuff. never did i say i didn't like him, hes one of the fuqqin' most exciting fighters out there - i think he'll lose to tzuyu, but if he, God forbid, beat tzuyu ... i'll ... i'll ... i wouldn't know what the hell to do dude. two thing's are for certain - we'll have a VERY exciting british 140lb champ w/ all the major belts and i'll have to take a lot of shit from you and the whole lot at www.rickyhitmanhatton.com. i'll be very excited for the UK, that they FINALLY have a bonafide world champion and i won't knock a good champ, ever, even if you do like him. but i'm one to never back away from eating crow ... anything for the better of our sport!

Fucking hell TL, i'm only joking!! :D its not like your views on this fight come as a shock to me :p I know..I've never been a "quiet" person when it comes to opinions :D

I hate that I've made you even think that cause I've said the same thing about debating with some of the Klitschko fans before..and I didnt mean it in a nice way either :( I'll leave the matter be where youre concerned from now on okay Fucking hell TL, i'm only joking!! :D its not like your views on this fight come as a shock to me :p

Its like banging my head against a brick wall!! I hate that I've made you even think that cause I've said the same thing about debating with some of the Klitschko fans before..and I didnt mean it in a nice way either :( I'll leave the matter be where youre concerned from now on okay

Neither do I. I like Manny alot, and have serious respect for him and his knowledge of the sport, but totally disagree with him on this. And as for Rick being tired of the protection, if thats true why is this fight taking place in England? I know all about the air times, etc..but we all know that it could just as easily be worked out and take place here or in Australia. Its like banging my head against a brick wall!!

Ok, Maybe I'm ripping a little too hard on Manny. But I don't see Tsyzu having that much problem with Hatton. Neither do I.

And as for Rick being tired of the protection, if thats true why is this fight taking place in England?

lol He's seen a workhorse fighter in Sharmba Mitchell and easily disposed of him after being off for like two years. Sharmba Mitchell is no damn workhorse. He is a boxer first, and he tried that shit and got whacked, just like Judah. Hatton is a real workhorse, and he has more of a chance than those other two fools of winning. Sometimes the way to kill the beast is to overwhelm him. Don't underestimate Hatton just because he was protected for seemingly so long. What I'm saying is, boxers can't touch Zoo, you have to bang him. You can't play with him and try to outsmart him or he will just time you and whack you. Hatton isn't going to worry about that, he's just going to attack that body, and Zoo certainly could fold. This fight is a pick-em.

yeah two come forward fightewrs with big hearts ship it in!!! :cool:

simple answer is he wants it and the fans want it. we are fed up with seeing him fight the likes of stewart and oliveria we need to see if he can be a great and how good he is. as long as he perform s well and doesnt disgrace himself his stock wont suffe, it didnt hurt gatti did it! ;) Very true. And how amazing would a Gatti Hatton fight be? I would want it in NYC though or at least Atlantic City. That would be a great fight that could lead to another trilogy.
