    Touche'.

    That is a whole other topic. Hatton MAY be the real deal. Or he may be wildly overrated (near top ten P4P). We will see on Dec 8th. For now, I will give him his props and assume that he is a worthy, undefeated champion in his prime.

      Being a NYC boy growing up, I was a fan of Camacho... even though he's Puerto Rican.
      Jeez man...what is that supposed to mean??

        I'm Dominican. Just some friendly PR-DR rivalry.

        Are you boricua?

            Or, maybe it was the HBO contract.

              Well, we have the better athletes, the better food, and the better women.

              Why would I be hostile?

                  Are you suggesting Gatti picked his fights by race?

                    i think more important than their race is that all of those fighters were really around the same skill level(or less) as Gatti

                      Are YOU suggesting that it was by coincidence?
