      I commend you Ricky Hatton for unifying against a fighter who just so happened to be the worst 140 pound titlist of all time. Awesome work.

      Regaining your belt back against Juan Urango was ballsy and exceptional.

        So you admit your bias on this topic and have no valuable opinion? OK.

            I think Ricky is a douche but props to him for his warrior spirit.
            You're right Tszyu and Castillo were at their best. I mean really?

              I didn't think B-Hop would have dominated Pavlik...I was as confident as most fans but I stuck with him. I don't see anything wrong with that

                that's quite unfair.

                carlos maussa was still a champion.

                floyd and cotto vacated their belts and jumped to 147 , antonio.

                what's better beating and taking maussa's belt or fighting for a vacant belt?

                  I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I'm just saying it wasnt couragious of him to take on Carlos Maussa. If Vivian Harris ended up winning in easy fashion do you think Hatton would have fought him, or do you think he would have fought an easy defence instead?

                    I'll tell you the difference between Hatton and Calzaghe. One is a humble, good natured, people's champion. The other is an arrogant, insulting, opportunistic champion.

                      i honestly don't know.

                      fact is he barely became champ in 2005.

                      to get 2 belts at 140 , 1 belt at 147 , regain a 140 belt and fight the #1 140 guy in kostya and the #1 147 guy in floyd is not all that bad.

                      he's fighting paulie right now. paulie has a belt and is #1 at 140. not a bad fight right?

                      he's only had 7 fights from 2005-2008.

                      2 of those 7 were against kostya and floyd. 5 of those 7 were against current champions.
