Real talk from Hatton, boxing is becoming a joke, less bull**** in UFC and people with more character, guys like Rampage & Griffin. If there is a good fight it will get made where in boxing that is not always the case, a lot of boxers are more concerned about their wallets then giving the fans a great fight.

What he's talking about is true. All this catchweight **** is ruining boxing, ffs they've even made up a special bull**** belt for Pac to win against Cotto!
If you want to fight a champion you either fight at his weight or STFU.
If you agree to fight at a certain weight you fight at that weight or STFU.Last edited by NorvernRob; 08-08-2009, 04:00 PM.Comment

Is anybody surprised about hatton praising the ufc over boxing.
He single handedly tried to bring the ufc into boxing.
Hypejob blues = getting exposed then rebelling against the very shyt u were doing.Comment

He's right in that Judah is fucking around. Make the fight for a proper weight Zab. Only big name stars get to have catchweights!Comment

Ricky is right in a sense and the main problem is that the boxing fans/promoters don't see it and keep mentioning the 'history' that boxing has etc. expecting nothing to change. If it wasn't a threat why are so many people talking about it being so?
MMA isn't a massive problem to boxing, however the UFC is. most local mma shows really struggle to make money, alot of the major promotions go bust and can't keep up with the ufc. however the UFC is becoming very very popular whereas boxing is loosing alot of fans.
How many 'super' fights have we really had this year? 1-2? UFC have 2-3 major fights a month. take tonight for example you have silva vs griffin and bj vs ken flo and then 3 very solid fights also on the main card.
boxing you would have 1 major fight with an undercard filled with people you hardly know.
then you have the fiasco with the belts, it's a massive joke, if you ask the average boxing fan who the champion of ****** division is they probaly wouldn't have any idea.
i like boxing and love the buzz. i box myself however i'd be ****** if i said ufc is no threat. promoters/fighters/fans need to really get together and get this sport going, no more fighting once a year bull****, no more stripping fighters of belts for not facing the "no.1 contender" when there's a much better fighter to fight.
just look at the rubbish haye had to put up with, oooh we'll only take the fight if you fight us 3 times, in germany etc. you get so many fights talked about which just never happen, in the ufc you don't get that, look at franklin vs henderson which was meant to be at ufc 103, EVERYONE was moaning about the fight, there was no real point to the fight and guess what, a week later they change the fight for something better. no bull****, just quick and to the point.Comment
