    Hatton is an AWESOME fighter!

    Take a look at the poll on another thread: "What is your most anticipated fight?" Notice that the most popular choice so far is Hatton vs. Castillo!

    If Hatton is really as mediocre as all the Brit haters claim, then why are so many people looking forward to seeing him fight? I can answer: in reality, he isn't mediocre! He's one of the best boxers in the world.

      A guy who knew Bruce Lee and trained with him said he likes Hatton as a boxer. And that is enough for me.

        he's top 100 - one victory over an aged pro doesn't warrant him already being thrust into these types of topics. its absurd really.

            Does Mayweather's narrow victory over an aged pro (DLH) warrant him claiming to best of all time?

            Take a look at the records of the 10 men Hatton beat BEFORE Kostya. Because they mostly weren't Americans, you consider them bums. That seems a lot like racism to me...

              Its not racism, its ignorance.

              I'll bet good money that almost all of the 14 people who have voted no to this poll so far havent seen more than Hatton's last 4 tough fights.

              I also find it interesting that the $in who usually whines about alts and 'haters' voting against him hasnt made this thread publically viewable. I wonder how many times he has voted already.

                I voted no, wont post the 30 thirty fighters i have already named as better than Hatton in another thread, wont attempt to sway people's views, interested to see how the votes goes,

                I suspect by tonight when our US posters get here, the Poll will swing the other way.

                  well imo I think is more of people wanting to see him lose, plus I think more people want to see castillo fight

                      Why would someone be that interested in seeing Hatton lose? Would it be because of a hatred of Brits?

                      My dad was born in the same city in England as Hatton, and he was verbally abused and called a "limey" a lot after he came to North America. It wasn't fun as a child having to deal with all that ****** hatred directed toward my dad. Hatred of British people actually is a kind of racism.
