I didn't mean to jump on you but I don't understand how people can say that as he's not been tested at that level so we don't know either way. He's done nothing but take care of everyone that he's ever fought pretty damn easily. I just think that even if he does lose, he'll make a much better effort of it than Mitchell, Judah and most of the others before him and nobody was saying they were well out of his league.

fair point, mate. hopefully we'll see next year.Comment

Hopefully. I'm losing a bit of interest in watching him these days as you already know what's going to happen because he's way too good for anyone outside the top 6 or 7. He definitely needs to step it up against someone next year.Originally posted by cmasonComment

i read somewhere last week that if tzsyu does'nt fight him, the ibf will strip tzsyu and hatton will fight lovemore n'dou for the title. so either way he's in a major fight next year.Comment

Although im not a fan of Hatton he has beat some top opponents.
Eammon Magee
Ben Tackie
Vince philips
Mike stewart
couple of others.
But he lives in Manchester fights in Manchester he's never travelled anywhere that is probably partly due to warren making a killing with 10.000 fans every fight. To get the respect he has to travel to america. He is flawed Cuts is a big weakness.
Magee had him beat he stunned him in the first round with a knockdown. Tried the rope a dope which didnt work.
Tszyu would beat him though. Cotto could beat him.Comment

the cuts thing is'nt really a problem anymore. he had plastic surgury to cure it.Comment

he has also fought in the states and is fighting in london next week so all this manchester thing whilst having a point is overhyped in some areas.Comment

I did think Cotto was Hatton's biggest threat last month but i have watch Ndou/Pinto vs Cotto a couple of times since and i can see Hatton giving him hell! Ndou roughed him up and he didnt like it too much, I think Cotto's a great fighter/talent but he shouldnt fight Hatton at this stage!! Even if Cotto beat Hatton he would get roughed up a long the way, i cant see Hatton losing without dragging the opponent into a war!!Originally posted by realtim
I now think Tszyu is the hardest fight for him!! Tszyu punches hard enough to avoid a war with Hatton, if Hatton is to win he will have to take big risks and go for the KO!! If Mitchell can hurt Tszyu(which he did) then its possible that Hatton could KO him!!Comment

I hate it when people doubt Hatton's ability based on where he's fought!!
If people took the time to look at his record they would see different venues in England and trips abroad to the US and Germany(like you said)!! Not to mention the amateurs, where he's even been to Cuba and beat one of there top guys!!
Although i couldnt care less if Hatton had fought every single in Manchester, once you step through them ropes it doesnt matter where your fighting!! Its you against them!!!

Hatton hasn't really impressed me much.I think a fight with Gatti at this point makes much more sense than stepping up and fighting Tszyu as your first real testComment
