Hatton

[Left2body]

Not possible that he was trying to psyche Kostya out by suggesting that he isnt in his best shape anymore?

Correct, fighters often trash talk a bit before fights, Hatton's words were not meant to be taken literally.

Come on guys those are cop outs.

Hatton verbalized this question as well.


Plainly said 35year old Tzu with 9 rounds in 2 years, sholder surgery and weight issues is not an optimal Tzu.

The Tzu fight was a good win for Hatton but boxing fans and Hatton both knew that Tzu was not the same and the real question was how much does he have left.

When its your argument, it is inarguably correct.

When it is someone elses opinion, its a cop out.

You arent really worth debating with.

It came directly from Hatton's mouth. His sentiments were those of many boxing fans.

But you say that Hatton didn't mean what he said.

Listen to yourself for a second.........your Denying that Hatton meant what he said about Tzu

[.Mik.]

Not denying what he MEANT at all. I'm dis*****g his purpose.

Afterall, Tszyu said that he was perfectly fit and ready to go before he fought Hatton. Yet afterwards people decided that he was past it, was shot, was a shell of his former self. Why is it that THEY are allowed to dispute the legitimacy of Kosyta's OWN statements and I'm not allowed to dispute the purpose of Ricky's?

ROFL.........tuche' (sp). Ok, ok fair enough.

P.S. I will refuse to debate with you if you use logic

Mayweather has fought better and harder competition than, hatton and cotto put together and he is about as old as hatton. Only Oscar De La Hoya can claim he has fought still better competition than Mayweather, so STFU. Oh and what makes Mayweather even better than DLH is the fact he has actually won those good fights he had. I admire Oscar though, he has more guts than anyone on boxing today. More than any Cottos or Hattons or any of these new guys. Win lose or draw he fought the best. I wish boxing was like this today.
don't even compare PBF with any fighter from today

That is not in question nor doubt, so STFU.

The question pertinent doubt to that which gets bandied about is...has he fought any one single fighter as high on the P4P list as Tszyu was when Hatton fought him? And the answer is 'No'.

STFU STFU.

I think in the future the Torres and Malignaggi wins will look better. I also think that Cotto will in the next 3 years face a series of top elite fighters.
