Why do boxing fans even care about Hatton-Mallanaghi?

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.

You failed at baiting me. To be honest I did the picture in about 2min and uploaded it. I was drinking and it seemed right after watching Augustus fight. If you want me to I can take my time and do a professional type drawing.

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.

Joe Calzaghe

Plain and simple...Dont watch it! Sit in the corner and stare at the wall when the fight comes on!

I dont see why anyone would want to miss this fight...You've got two fighters that brings energy to the arena...Its a clash of styles that some fans want to see!

Its contradiction that you say I failed to bait you when you just offered to draw me a good drawing of Emanuel Augustus.
Its your choice but im sure others including myself wouldn't mind

this is obviously a joke thread, but it actually isn't too far from a lot of boxing fans' perspectives...the '0' on someone's record carries way too much weight with some folks...I'd rather someone choose to actually be challenged in the ring than concentrate on their winning percentage. Some of the most entertaining fighters to watch have been beaten, even beaten soundly in their careers, but they were willing to fight a championship-caliber opponent...

It a good fight and we get to see how much Hatton has left. I know his camp claimed he a had a virus for his last fight, but he seemed like a shell of himself.

I could not disagree with you more. I know a lot of people who are very interested in this fight, and they should be. Both fighters careers are on the line. If MAlignaggi takes a loss he will probably be fighting on ESPN for his next fight, this is his chance to prove to fans that is it no flook that he has made it this far. If HAtton losses......he may retire, or at the very least will go into hiding for some time.

As far as not being excited about fighters who have L on their record...Are u kidding me? One of the beautiful things about boxing is that all it takes is one punch...it doesnt matter who you are, fights over if you get caught with a good shot. There are plenty of fighters after there worth praise that have multiple losses.

[Jambo boy]

You ***en prick u dont now nuffin about boxin if u think that these 2 fighters are ****. This is one of tha fights of the year and both fighters are in they're primes.

Go home and play with yo mamas ******* son, you fail.
