Come on now, you guys need to stop making an ass out of yourselves. Reid beat Cockzaghe. When Lacy KO Cockzaghe, I bet you guys will have the same excuse, he was washed up. You guys like to overrate. We had many British people on this board that picked Reid to win against Lacy. It's funny that some of you idiots think that Cockzaghe will beat *****kins. That is a joke.
ok bruv gd
Hatton has already said that he wants to retire in 2007, I think Cotto will fight the winner of the Hatton-Mayweather.
That plenty of time, i hope he does retire before he get past his prime, he cant fight at that pace forever.
I like Cotto but he needs to beat a decent opponent because of the way he beat Corley, hopefuly he will do that and set up the Hatton fight soon.
If Hatton retires late 2007 he'll have time to make at least 5 good fights.
I dont think Maussa will prove much, after all he's only champion because he took it from a guy who was tired in the 1st round.
Beating Mayweather would be a big deal, then if he beat another fighter at the standard of Cotto/Castillo/Corrales you could talk about being great. Maybe even Judah, although i think he's overated.

Not really, if he beats Maussa and Mayweather in his next two fights he'll probably retire as a HOFer next year.

I dont think you can say he's great yet, he still has a long way to go.

His talent, he's always had great talent and was a great prospect.. and Manny Steward predicted in the 90's that he'll be a future all-time great, and I believe he will be as long as he stops ballooning up in weight between fights and starts taking the sport more seriously.
Thats true, you could always tell he was a special talent, very unique and effect style
BUT
I dont think you can say he's great yet, he still has a long way to go.
What exactly makes hatton great? A win over Ben Tackie, Vince Phillips, and KT?
Hatton is good....but great? thats pushing it chief.

Please stop acting like some kinda victim. UK ppl say some stupid ass shit, that's why they get bashed. UK ppl bash the U.S. as much if not more than the U.S. guys bash them. Perhaps you haven't heard of this juyjuy character yet.
Just because its different doesnt mean its wrong, when UK fans predict fights they normally get it right, i hate to make a general comment about a group of boxing fans but i hardly ever see wild comment from UK fans like "Lacy's gonna stop Calzaghe in 2 rounds", "Tszyu gonna stop Hatton in one round" & "Mayweather vs Hatton is a mismatch, you much be crazy to think Hatton will win". The regular UK posters say thing like this "Calzaghe will have a tough fight but i think he'll win because of his ability to cope with pressure and his fast hands", etc.
Maybe Lacy will beat Calzaghe but looking at the styles i dont think he will, Calzaghe isnt a text book fighter but he's a very tough, determined fighter who wont be beat easily regardless of what some people think.

He's potential great, he beat a great fighter but he has a lot of hard work to become great himself. Saying he's great now is premature.
Ricky Hatton,all great fighters ok granted you have a lot more but your a bigger country,

Great post, the only bit i disagree with is the part where you say Robin Reid was never world class. he was world class some time back, Lacy beat a bad version of Reid.
first off, glad to see this post get back to the top, forgot about it and wanted to see the poll..
and to the last comment there, almost everyone thought, if anything, Lacy would ONLY get a CLOSE decision. Let's not go saying things like 'bad' version of Reid, it's just like words such as 'washed-up' 'past his prime' etc. and its just not correct..
