    No...Mate (1) Ring magazine had tzysu number 3 P4P at the time of the fight mate, And it was because Hatton HAD a terrible competition prior to facing Tsyzu while tsyzu was just coming off an impressive win against sharmba Mitchell...Thats why NOBODY gave him a chance KUDOS to Hatton for taking the fight and winning the fight.

      Well Maybe but he didnt get him, Warren said it was Team Hatton's fault..he said they were wary of Witters power.

        When you are in trouble in a fight, or you are in deep waters that you haven't been, an experienced corner is extremely important.
        Gotta agree with ya there. A good corner is a pretty important factor. Maybe not in the earlier stages, but in big fights, when fighters need the encouragement, it could make or break you.

        The corner in Tyson-Douglas used rubber gloves to treat his swollen eye. The swollen eye which shielded the fatal punch from Douglas. Teddy Atlas berating Moorer in his corner during the Holyfield fight was by Moorers account, the flame that pushed him to victory.

          How do you pass up the chance to fight for the welterweight title for ten million dollars?

          But I have no illusions that Baldo was great. I also justify Hatton fighting Tszyu for the REAL belt.

          Just don't make it like Tszyu was peak or prime.

          Never claimed that. I'm just saying, to COMPLETELY dismiss him, or to assume someone else is, would be pretty crazy. He gave a decent performance against the younger, hungrier fighter. MOST big fights essentially follow the same storyline.

              AFTER he lost the rights to Hatton. He's bound to say anything, then.
