    I was reading the George Plimpton book "ShadowBox", and in it they said that former middleweight champion Stanley Ketchel used to take whoopings from people in the stands who he dared to fight him, but who knows.
    I hope you don't think that I think that i could hang with the likes of Pacman or Cotto. I specifically mentioned Hatton. Even then, I dont think I could take any shots from him but I do think I could possibly KO him.

    I understand how hard these guys train, it's no joke.

      Theres a biggest difference between a fight, and a boxing match, though. Massive difference.

        yo Ryan,

        I have a great idea. There should be a "Boxing Scene Outing" where we can spar with other users, meet some fighters, meet some girls, take pics, possibly call out Hatton,etc.

          Maybe in a street fight if there happened to be a baseball bat in my hand at the time and he didn't have anything unless it was a Oliver Mccall who cant be hurt even by a gun, but i admit that im a light puncher i would get smashed by a pro boxer.

              In a streetfight I could whup a strawweight, if I could catch him.

                Dude Hatton did take punches from Tszyu and he hit like an anvil, I doubt you'd be able to knock him out. Mayweather put that punch right on the button at the perfect moment. Hatton was coming forward and a perfect hook lands.

                A clean shot isn't easy against a boxer, in fact it is damn difficult, even though you don't respect Hatton that doesn't mean you could get close to winning him, eventually you will get hit.

                I have the power to physically KO someone, would I jump in the ring with a pro fighter? HELL NO. I would get my ass handed to me. Those guys train to take punches, I do not, they have the stamina, strength, and durability to be in the ring from 12 minutes to 36, and fighting for "just" 12 minutes is way tiresome. In boxing I would have at the very best a "punchers" chance, I'd be burnt out in the first round.

                  It's from the song "99 Problems" by Jay-Z. Great song, you should listen to it if you like rap.

                    Please go to youtube. Search for "Hatton-Lazcano" and get back to me.

                    His punch resistance is officially ****.

                      Tye Fields would also be easy to knock out if I could reach his chin.
