    Well, I will say this, Hatton has had his moments, but he tends to get sloppy, and he tends to get rather dirty in his tactics as his career has gone on.

      I think it is so strange i start chuckling to myself whenever a thread crops up. I shouldnt laught because that might provoke him into starting more threads to entertain people.
      For instance, instead of starting a thread on whether Hatton is exciting, why not start one on whether PBF is? He likes PBF, so he should talk about his favourite rather than start a thread on a boxer he dont like.
      Hatton is known for the excitement he brings to the ring. To his detriment though sometimes by how marked up he has got in some fights.

          he used to be. but the collazo and urango fight have been major disappointments.

          if the castillo fight is boring, ricky's off my list.

            For Christ sake...

            I am really wondering what the fixation is with this poster and Hatton..

            The guy's obsessed....

            You think he's crap and a boring style...
            I think we got the message...

              I enjoy watching him fight, so Ill say yes. I do hate breaks in boxing tough, it ruins the moment. The ref should make them work their way out, Hatton seems like the type that would keep punchin in such situations if the ref didnt break them right away.

              Holding onto Castillo is gonna get Hatton beat down though...Castillo is very experienced, and knows how to make enough gaps to get power in his shots when holding on to people. Hell, he initiates the holding a lot of the time to keep his opponent in place.
              Sooo Hatton better not try that...

                  yeah and by the way holding is illegal...!!! I respect Hatton as a well trained fighter, but I would rather see him get knocked out then win boxing wise, but he seems to be a good guy so I will say he is exciting when he is actually able to drop an opponent with his body it's exciting at that moment...

                    This thread doesnt have anything negative to say about Hatton in any way.
                    Your trying to imply things that arnt there.
                    Just take this thread as it is, asking whether or not Hatton is an exciting fighter.

                      Is that right?

                      If this thread isnt biased or negative towards Hatton, why does he post a blindly ONE-SIDED video in the topic post consisting of one round (and the LAST round) from the one fight that Hatton 'hugged' much more than any of the other 40+ fights in his career?

                      Furthermore, why are there two options for 'no' (one direct, one qualified) and only one direct option for yes?

                      Dont be an idiot. This thread could barely be much more obviously slanted.
