WHY are there all these EXCUSE THREADS??? HATTON WON

[Zab Super Judah]

stop making excuses..if it was in the states it would be the same..too much pressure and hatton could handle his punch

I've been saying for six months there would be every excuse in the book once Hatton stopped him. Case and point.

[Zab Super Judah]

too early, too old, biased ref, home crowd...HATTON IS A WORLD CLASS FIGHTER although I think he has some flaws but he showed that he belongs

[RobbieD]

Don't forget it was in England, it was 2am, it was in front of 22,000 football (soccer to you Yanks) "hooligans", the sky was dark, it was raining (outside), the building didn't sell any Stelia Artois, the ring was 1/8 of an inch too big, Hatton had red gloves on, it was on PPV, Tsyzu's parents weren't there, Hatton's milky bar white skin put Tsyzu off his game plan, etc, etc, etc.

Get all the excuses out. Britain has been telling you about Ricky Hatton for years and nobody outside this country gave him a chance. He beat the best pound for pound fighter in the world fair and square. Boo ****ing hoo.

And later this year, Jeff Lacy is in for much of the same.

I couldn't have said it any better my friend, Hatton was awesome last night and no excuses are necessary, I was pretty sure that Kostya would KO the kid in the mid rounds but Hatton's style and pressure wouldn't allow it, it was the best performance by a title challenger I've seen in a long time

yeah I actaully was getting scared towards the end becuase hatton was coming in wide i thought kostya could have threw more straight rights

I said Hatton would give Tszyu alot of problems but I thought Tszyu would come on in the end. The first half of my prediction came true but the second half didn't. Hatton has shown that he belongs with the best at 140.

I agree... Why all the excuses?... I've heard some funny ones pm'd to me, calling the fight as bad as a German hometown decsion!

Yeah I know!... I think it's more to do with people losing bets, once they've settled down, they'll see the truth.

I agree, people always like to hate a good British fighter and discredit great champions when they lose.
