Comparing resumes is a weak argument sometimes.
Lewis, whilst not as chinny as some would make out, was still not exactly granite. Resume or not, I can't see a young Tyson not catching Lewis. If he connects down goes the Canadian.
As for Holmes, the man was consistency personified. True he picked up one or two fortuitous decisions but his jab alone gives most heavies fits. Honestly see Holmes/Tyson as a toss up but lean toward Larry with a late stoppage.
Hatton is rapidly becoming an embarrassment.
For a "man of the people", as he points out appoximately every 12 seconds, his habit of speaking in the 3rd person bugs the shit out of me.
Let him have the match. Admittedly it doesn't do much for boxing or Mayweathers standing but it gives me the chance to see him get chinned again.
As for the ref issue, if 'Ickle Richard's mother reffed the result would still be the same.
Fat, pasty, Guiness drinking, man of the people tit.
Whilst Hatton bugs me to do death now to class him as a bum as pleny do here is way harsh.
Overly protected by Warren his resume still stands on it's own merits.
He defeated good British fighters (Rowland, Magee, Thaxton etc), close to world class performers in Tackie, Phillips and obviously a still world class if past his best Tszyu.
Collazo, Urango, Castillio (shot) were all decent fighters.
Good matchmaking gets you so far but "bums" don't defeat the fighters above.
At his peak he was a ferocious pressure fighter with heart and great speed and angles.
