Yeah? and Castillo get punching Hatton in the bollocks and hugged just as much as him too.

If Hatton was American you wouldn't be saying none of this stuff.

Thats illegal ****. Clinching is for when your hurt or in a dangerous position. Hatton has mad it his career on it...and it aint cool.

Clinching is not a style but it is a tactic in the sport of boxing. I hear trainers all the time say "tie him up on the inside." Sure Hatton does his share of holding but you can't win fights without punching and considering he has won a majority by KO apparently he can punch.

erm he must be fighting 10 minute rounds then to get his punch stats to where they are....

why make another crap thread I ask? You're just drawing negative attention to yourself kiddo.

That means that Ali wasn't cool vs Frazier....Foster wasn't cool against Frazier....Dirty low-blow punchers are not cool ( See Cotto VS Judh )
I could go on

At least he throws punches in the clinch, not that bogus John Ruiz stuff. Personally, as long as people are throwing punches and trying to fight I have less problem with it than trying to not fight guys like Dirrell, Mayweather, and Spinks try to pull.

No it has nothing to do with nationalism. The ****s annoying period. Im a fan of Hatton, and when he started holding as early as 10 seconds into the 1st round I was pissed. Not that I think its a dirty tactic. I just think its boring, and Hatton used to never do it.

Hatton will continue to win fights with his cheating until a ref acknowledges it.They HAVE to see it, they just dont acknowledge it. He's got quick hands, and power, so he'll be able to thoroughly take advantage of his cheating tactics.

last night i saw two mean leaning on and looking to land rather than out and out holding

Fake Floyd immediately clinches when he gets cornered.

That's some illegal ****.

At least Hatton throws some while Fake Floyd runs nonstop.

Like a chicken.
