Tsyzu has started to run from hatton Already!

[Cletus Funk]

Tszyu is a better boxer than Hatton period.

He's a more skilled boxer, I'd agree. It doesn't mean he'll outbox him though.

You really think that Hatton is more experienced and dangerous than Gatti, Mayweather and Spinks? Have you went crazy? If you like Hatton it's all good, but for you to say that you sound like you be watching boxing with your eyes closed....

Crazy?

Experience = No, Dangerous = Yes.

Maywether wasnt even a puncher at Super Feather never mind Light Welter.

Spinks isnt a puncher full stop.

Gatti hasnt stopped a light welter(genuine) for nearly 3 years.

[elveiel]

lol.you win.

Seriously though, do you really think that KT lands more punches than Hatton? Hatton's pretty accurate and he doesn't stop throwing.

Tszyu's accuracy is very good, i think it normally just over 50%,

Hattons is very impressive for a pressure fighter, its normally just under 50%

I assume that Hatton would land more shots in a fight because his volume would normally be higher.

Frank....I gotta give you credit, you're adiment about your fighters and I like that. Frankly, I haven't seen much of Hatton. Elveiel posted website once where I was able to watch some highlights and yes the kid has some serious skills.

He has a chance versus anyone, no question about it......I just wouldn't bet on him because he hasn't fought that stiff of competetion by my standards and he's never to fight in an adverse situation. When everyone is hooting and hollering for you and you are in a comfortable setting that does wonders for a fighters psyche. He doesn't get the respect he may deserve by many American boxing fans because he doesn't attempt to earn it. In my opinion, he doesn't deserve to even get a shot at Tszyu's belt at this juncture. The only reason why I'm even talking about it is because it would be an action fight. Frankly, I think Hatton needs to fight guy like Harris, Corley, Gatti, etc...before getting in the ring with the best fighter in the division. His competition up to this point hasn't granted him a shot at the belt......especially not in his backyard...regardless of the money offered to Kostya.

I hear what you're saying and KT would obviously be favorite because not many people have been able to take the power. But for people to say Hatton has no way of winning this fight is bull**** IMO.

I'd have liked to have seen him in against those guys too before taking on KT but none of them seem keen on fighting each other, it's not just Hatton.

I was seriously pissed that Hatton vs Harris fell through, it would have been a good fight! damn you Vivian Harris!!

Gatti turned down a big day against Hatton, but i think it was because of the HBO deal, etc. So another good fight missed!! Damn again!!

And I dont really want to see Hatton vs Chop Chop.

I'm just hoping the Tszyu fight comes off, i dont think Hatton done anything special to get a shot, but nobody else has done better, IMO Hattons proved he should be mixing it at a higher level, whether or not thats at Tszyu's level remains to be seen.

Chop Chop was a recent champ...I wouldn't mind see this fight and seeing how hatton fairs against someone that can get away from hatton's body assault...

Tszyu can outbox Hatton, or outslug him.

He's the better boxer, the much bigger puncher, the more accurate fighter, the stronger & more experienced guy.

Whatever Hatton brings, Tszyu answers.
He's not gonna conk Hatton with one shot & end it. He'll beat this guy down systematically.

Hatton's body attack will not work with Tszyu, because Tszyu will control him.

I can back up his words. Kostya has been the winner of european amateur tournament 4 times in a raw and amateur world championship 2 times in a row before converting to pro.
he also won "best amateur boxer" award 3 or 4 times during his amat. years. You have to have some pretty sweet skills to achieve so much at amat. level, not just big punch

I'd watch it, i'd rather watch it than Olivera but its not on my wish list.

Chop Chop would be a good opponent but its a no win situation at the moment, if Hatton won who would care and if he lost he could kiss his career good bye.

That's pretty impressive. I think he's got used to his power shots doing the job so he spends more time waiting for the chance to land those as opposed to building up points now, which is why I don't think he'd outbox Hatton.
