      Trust me Hatton's level of opponent was really poor leading up to the tsyzu fight...He fought too many bums, We started complaining after a while because it seems he would be fighting bum till he turns blue...Yes this was because of Frank warren who was just milking Hatton at that time.

      He stirred clear of Junior Witter 4 years ago remember

        Floyd over THAT version of Tszyu?? I couldn't hype it up. Not in good conscience.

        Oscar was bigger, younger, healthier, and just BETTER than Tszyu. And you haven't seen me hype up the DLH win.

          Guilty as charged. I've already gameplanned my post-fight threads.

            But it seems like Lloyd was implying that RH hadn't been on "the big playing field" before. Which would be a disparagement of Zoo.

            No he hasnt, Hatton hast even fought a fighter that box and move, Frank warren use to find him fighters who are slow, Like to slug..Thats it.

            Against tsyzu he was such an underdog not because tsyzu was that good but because Hatton previous competition were incredibly terrible.

                Lol. I don't just mean you..

                -People who wanted Floyd to win.
                -People who wanted Hatton to win.
                -People who hated and people who loved the fight.
                -'Should of been scored like this' threads.
                -Stopped too early threads.
                -'I wish I could have sex with Hatton/Floyd' threads.

                So many nuthuggers. I honestly might take a week or two off the site just to avoid the rush.

                As far as the Kostya Tszyu argument I mentioned. I have heard you MENTION to Baldomir fight, and justify it with the fact that he was the TRUE welterweight champion. Couldn't the same be said for Kostya Tszyu and Ricky Hatton? Just curious as to your thoughts.

                  Additionally, Floyd has Raf Garcia in his corner.
                  Whether they have more experience or not is pretty irrelevant anyway.

                    I can't complain because I will be contributing HEAVILY to the threads being made after this fight, especially if Floyd pummels Hatton into submission.
