    Reasonably impressed with the Paler last night...

    ... obviously an incredibly limited opponent and it became obvious from as early as the second round that Hatton could just box in and out for a 12 round decision.

    A little too much clinching, and it's surprising how the Paler's usually faultless stamina is letting him down lately... is the lifestyle catching up?

    But he had it pretty much his own way, one of his easiest fights really.

    I can never get over how much criticism he gets on here... with his style I'd expect around 20-30% of posters not to like him (more for the Zoo fight) but for such an extraordinarily high percentage to be bashing him no matter what he does it seems strange. The guy doesn't spend his days raping kittens, but you'd think it to read NSB some days. I still genuinely believe if Hatton's birth certificate said "Brooklyn" he'd be a lot more popular.

    I'm not a major fan, and clearly he's not the boxer that Floyd is, but he's a decent enough guy while Floyd's a complete ****. I really can't understand why anyone would be proud to call themselves a Floyd fan when he's such a wanker. Mind you, 80% of Floyd fans on here are total ****s anyway, aren't they?

    99%.

    I've yet to see the fight, still looking for a credible download, is he as washed up as Geoff says?

        He is WHITE, POLITE,respectful and Bright..
        Just look at most who bash him.. They like fighters like James Toney, Zab Judah and Floyd Mayweather.. These same people also Hate Wlad Klitschko who is also WHITE,POLITE, respectful and bright.. Its pretty obvious what the pattern is

              The holding I can understand criticisms of, but he showed he can box last night, which many people claim he can't, and he was a nippy little ugly ****er, wasn't he?

              You'd expect at least 50% of posters to say they like him, but it'll never happen until he learns to say "I'll beat da udda guy, he's a bum."

                I think I will reserve judgement on the stamina issue until the Castillo fight. Collazo and Urango are two big ****ers and its going to be difficult for a man like Ricky to be constanting bouncing up and down the ring with guys like these weighing down on you. With Castillo I have a feeling it will be very different.

                    I was not able to catch the fight last night; was it an entertaining fight and why was Hatton not able to get the KO?
