    Sick of the excuses for Tszyu

    He was in great form going into the fight and was a big favourite with few giving Hatton a chance

    People really are still moaning after 20 years because it got rough in a boxing ring, what sort of weak ish is that

    Tszyu is a pro fighter, he could have fought fire with fire but Hatton beat the fire out of him and Tsyu made the fully lucid decision to jack in the corner.

    I've got no sympathy for a quitter, and the excuses of being dirty are for the usual reasons of not giving fighters from the UK any credit from posters who idolize the likes of Hopkins, Holyfield and Ward.

      Could definitely take a good smack Paulie. If he had power, he would have been hugely dangerous. Always liked him.
