    Why do boxing fans even care about Hatton-Mallanaghi?

    They're two fighters who clearly are not at the top of their game anymore and both have losses on their records.
    I dont see why people would root for fighters who have already lost in their career, I really only cheer for Joe Calzaghe because of his sheer brilliance and undefeated record in this game.

    Before i became a fan of the sport I used to watch Muhammad Ali fight and he looked pretty good but mediocre at times. I thought he was the greatest until last year when I saw his record on boxrec, the dude lost to some bums called John Frazier and Trevor Ber****.
    Muhammad Ali is by far the most overrated pro boxer in the last 100 years, no doubt Joe Calzaghe would of smoked him. After all he is still undefeated.
    If there is any heavyweight who should be remembered it should be Rocky Marciano because he had no losses, he dosent deserve a tribute of any kind because of the old era (in those black and white days, boxing was similar to pantomine they couldnt box for ****) but he might pop up in a history boxing discussion from time to time.

          When Bradley faces the winner of Holt/Torres, that person will be the best JWW.

              Is that supposed to be Emanuel Augustus?
              I recommend actually paying a professional to draw Emanuel Augustus, your picture is honestly hard to look at.

                If you don't like it, don't watch it.

                It really is that simple!.

                  Because not much is going on in boxing at the moment and Hatton almost always provides an exciting fight, no matter who he faces.

                  Can't wait for Holt/Torres though ... WAR!
