Kostya Tszyu WOULD HAVE BEAT HATTON IN VEGAS

I don't know about that.

That was a very past-prime version of Kostya though. People don't really acknowledge how lucky Hatton was to land a fight with KT at that time. If Ricky had fought a prime Kostya he would have been blasted out of there. So yeah, Hatton got lucky. Story of the man's career really.

No, Hatton has only been warned against Mayweather, some refs might let it slip.

What an ugly fight that was. That and the Collazo one. If that version of Hatton shows up against Pac, he (Hatton) is literally dead meat. However, if the Urango/Castillo version with excellent footwork and bodywork shows up instead, Pac is dead meat.

Beautiful times.

I don't think so. This fight is a mismatch. Ricky is just way too easy to hit to hang in there against Manny. He just won't be permitted to fight his fight. Manny stops Hatton in all likelihood I think.

That was a joke what Hatton got away with against Tszyu.

Just make a thread saying you dislike Hatton. It's much easier.
