    Cause Hatton fans tell us he's an unstoppable & overwhelming opponent, when all we've seen in recent history is lack-luster performances. I'm from the U.S. & tho he did show some skill in his last fight, we just don't see what you see, & when guys come on here swearing he can stop the best & from what we've seen he can barely beat B-fighters. Maybe the Castillo fight will make me a believer, but I honestly don't think he's gonna get past him.

    Edit; I just pasted my response to the other thread, but this one actually has the option I most agree with, Hatton fans overhype him.

      This is a proper thread,

      1) He priced himself out against Mayweather.

      2) He said he was gonna fight witter, now he says he will never fight him.

      3) He said he felt more powerful than ever at 147, when he nearly lost, he said he had a cold and nearly had to pull out, then said the weight didnt suit him.

      4) He said he would give collazo a rematch, then went back on his word.

      5) He consistenly uses spoling tactics and illegal tactics in the ring.

      6) I like skills, he cant block a basic right hand lead.

      Nothing personal, just facts.

        Maybe people would forget all that if he was an exciting fighter. That was the big hype when he came over to the US and he has largely failed to deliver. The only excitement he delivered was when he was close to getting KTFO by the knockout artist Collazo in the 12th...

            You know, oddly enough, all of those reasons are legit and at least include an option if your a fan. I dislike him mostly because he doesnt pursue big fights and is living off his championship from Tszyu, hugging and all that **** make for some boring bouts, but on the other hand, you gotta do what you gotta do to win, however not pursuing bigger fights is why i dont rate him so much.

              Another lovely $in poll about someone he claims he's not obsessed with.

              Do you really think that people will admit to hating him because he's British?

                No, its got nothing to do with that, its to do with BOXING reason, Hatton outside the ring must be one of nicest guys in boxing, its not personal, but in terms of what goes on in the sport of BOXING, these 6 reasons are all valid.

                1) He priced himself out against Mayweather.

                2) He said he was gonna fight witter, now he says he will never fight him.

                3) He said he felt more powerful than ever at 147, when he nearly lost, he said he had a cold and nearly had to pull out, then said the weight didnt suit him.

                4) He said he would give collazo a rematch, then went back on his word.

                5) He consistenly uses spoling tactics and illegal tactics in the ring.

                6) I like skills, he cant block a basic right hand lead.

                  Im a Hatton fan but alot of english people do think hes invincible its because hes the only fighter on the world stage fighting out of england. They aint got no one else to support !!!! Truth is hes an average fighter who is overated if he did step up and challenge world class fighters he will get beat, Simple.

                    i didnt use to like him cause of his lack of skills and not fighting big fights and **** like that you mentioned

                    but hes exciting and hes ****ing fearless in the ring, even when hes being outlanded he keeps going forward willing to take punches just so he can land his, he might hug alot i agree but after hes finished clinching he walks straight back at his opponent throwing more and more punches, when collazo had him hurt, he kept moving forward throwing punches to the body and head.

                    you say he always falls back on his win over tszyu....well...so he ****ing should, isnt he allowed to be proud of his acheivments? if you beat kostya tszyu one of the greatest 140 pounders that ever put on a pair of gloves wouldnt you consider it something to brag about?

                    i also think its crazy how he gets so fat and gets into immense shape when he needs to,he trains hard as **** and thats somethin to admire

                    he seems like a nice chap aswell, genuine, funny, nothing to hate him for
