Sneakers:
Tell me about Hatton's amateur career.

Won every national title you can think of - very flat-footed and very left-sided, but you could see the greatness

Went to Bulgaria, Russia and Cuba and his natural flair came out as they were too good to be bulldozed over, he beat them all! He out-pointed all the best Bulgarians, Russians and Cubans in his category (in their backyards) on natural flair alone

Billy Graham got hold of him and moulded him and starting adding bits and bobs, and after a year he was suddenly no longer flat-footed and left-sided, and 11 years later he's just about the finished article and ready to be crowned the best fighter in the world (despite his hip and elbow problems)

Show me proof of him outclassing the euro's and cuban's. Those guys are tough to beat on the amateur circuit.

And....for my money he still is very left sided...

He was robbed in the semi-finals of the World Junior Championships - there was an inquest, four of the five judges had him winning, but the fifth judge had him losing by 16 points! There were bribes going on and that judge was banned for life, and shot dead a few weeks later (Hatton was a suspect!)!

Hamed never fought as a senior

Benn, Calzaghe, Hatton, etc

Prepare for the Hatton who fought Collazo, and be left shocked

Personally I was jerking off over his first few rounds against Urango
