Tsyzu has started to run from hatton Already!

Lovely, its just as well Hatton didn't fight Mitchell because he would have eaten him up. I was actually at the Mitchell Stewart undercard and then at the Hatton Stewart fight there was a world of difference trust me!

Stewart himself said the same after the fight.... and for the record Hatton certainly didn't run away from a fight with Mitchell.

[Cletus Funk]

Mitchell floored him 3 times, battered him, & pretty much shut him out.
He did this before Hatton took him out.

Edge goes to Mitchell.

I know it was one sided, but it didn't look like an ageing fight to me that would detract from Stewart's performance against Hatton, except maybe in terms of confidence. Hatton physically destroyed him, Mitchell gave him a lesson.

Two different types of fighters.

[QUOTE=pinkpanther]There is alot of talk about records and who protected particually at 140, if you look at all the top contenders none of there records set the world on fire:

Mayweather has beaten: Chop chop, N'dou at 140

floyd was still lightweight champ when he fought n'dou

That they are, but the fact that he fought Mitchell first shouldn't detract too much from Hatton's performance against him.

There's not that many guys on the scene worth fighting and someones got to fight them first.

Stand corrected, the point I'm trying to make is that N'dou has fought well at 140 in the past - worth consideration.

How the two beat on a human punching bag (Stewart) doesn't determine who would win a fight between the two.

You can't determine how Hatton would do against Sharmba, based on Sharmba's fight with Tszyu, either.
It's a style issue. Tszyu's quick, powerful right hand is the perfect weapon against a slick lefty like Mitchell. Hatton doesn't possess that same weapon....& also not the patience to wait for that type of opportunity.

Ricky would have problems, lots of them, with somebody like Mitchell.

Kostya Tszyu is not afraid of anyone south of middleweight. Frank Warren is a prick,

Mitchell's not significantly cagier than Magee ,Phillips or Tackie IMO and Hatton dealt with them pretty easily.
