Tszyu vs Hatton

[aaalex]

Hatton is pretty good fighter.

Hatton is pretty good fighter, but it is not better than Tszyu...!

[Cletus Funk]

He's got a better chance than most. Just because he hasn't fought anyone af KT's calibre doesn't mean he won't be able to deal with it. Has anyone forced KT to fight off the back foot like Hatton probably would?

[FistoftheDallasStar]

He does have a better chance than most but I can't see him really being able to figure out Tszyu. If Hatton takes a clean shot I don't see him being able to survive the round unless saved by the bell. It will be a great fight to watch but Kostya is in prime form so it will be tough to pick against him.

Yeah, Tszyu's power will always be a worry to him but I think Hatton will be a new experience for Tszyu too. I'm not too sure there's that much to figure out about Tszyu though. I think KT looks more dangerous when he fights guys who stand off him as he gets a lot of his power from moving forwards. I think Hatton's best chance is to really take it to him from the start and force him onto the back foot. If he can do this then I wouldn't be that surprised if he got the stoppage by the mid rounds. If he can't then I think it would just be a matter of time before KT landed some big ones on him and we'd see if he can take a shot.

It'd be too easy for tszyu.

I'd want Oscar verse Tszyu. Or better yet, Bernard.

Do you not want him to even have a chance of winning?

[Great]

Totally disagree. Hatton is certainly world class. Look at the way he fought Vince Philips and Be Tackie. I realize that Philips is older now but he is still half decent and Hatton beat him without too much problems ( Tsyzu can`t claim that ) and Ben Tackie was beaten up by Hatton. How can you say that Hatton is signing his death sentence? Tsyzu is at the age where he could fall apart, maybe not, but maybe and yes Tsyzu looked great against Mitchell but it doesn`t mean he`ll beat Hatton. Having seen nearly all of both fighters fights i lean towards Hatton for a late tko or close points win. He has been more active and can box well as well as ****.

Vince was already old and good-for-nothing fighter (40 years) and Hatton-knockouter has won only by UD.

And that? Ben in last two years only loses. What this victory can strongly prove? Him beat both Sharmba, and Tszyu. All by UD.

Also keep in mind hatton has a great chin and Tsyzu`s chin is average at best.

Really? Kostya was knockdown only after missed exact punches in a chin, and certainly not all. I am not sure, that Hatton could take these punches. He did not meet against such opponents as Tszyu. Tszyu has a normal chin.

Ricky is monotonous and primitive for Kostya. I am sure, he knock him out not later than 5-6 rounds.

Vince wasn't exactly young when he beat Tszyu either and Tszyu was in his prime years so that fight didn't really prove anything either way.

The Tackie fight just proved that Hatton can take care of the other guys as well as, if not better than, KT & Mitchell.

I'm sure Ricky is monotonous - for the guys he's faced. There's nothing primative about the way he switches his angles to get his shots in.

People who think that this fight would be easy for either guy must be blind, crazy or they haven't seen enough of the fighters.
