Jabs,
How would you see KT-Hatton panning out and how do you think KT would beat him?Comment

Tsyzu has started to run from hatton Already!
My question is why does everyone that fights hatton have to fight in Manchester? Is hatton scared of flying in an airplane or something. Hattton isn't a champ he is a contender. Hatton's people are always talking about money and how much of draw hatton is overthere. Why would any champ go into the ring in the MEN arena and fight hatton seeing how it is nothing for a fighter to get robbed of a decision these days. I hardly feel that Tszyu is ducking Hatton,I just thinkhe is smart enough not to risk hios title and future profits fighting somewhere where he may not get the decision no matter what.This is just my opinion but I think it is time for Hatton to get off his high horse and fight somebody, that isn't a has been or a never was....Originally posted by Frank the Tank

To be fair to Hatton, if you look at his record he has fought all over the UK and overseas a few times and his next fight's in London.Originally posted by babylon_killahMy question is why does everyone that fights hatton have to fight in Manchester?

Would you level the same criticism at Eric Morales for never fighting more than 500 miles from TJ and not fighting in NY or Atlantic city or overseas?
It's about who you fight, not where you fight them and there's no real history of fighters being robbed by fighting in the UK so where have you got that from?Last edited by Cletus Funk; 12-08-2004, 12:52 PM.Comment

true, Hatton would fight anyway if he had to. Its just a shame that regardless of opinion Hatton has at least earned a big fight against a top guy but when its been on the table the other guy as denied hatton. Hatton dominated everyman he has faced, this includes ben tackie and Vince Philips, for **** sake, he deserves a title match, give it to him and stop vacating titles!Comment

Everybody wants to see him in a fight with a top notch guy....his fans....his doubters...everyone. You are pointing the finger at the wrong people though. All the guys that you are wanting to see him fight have never ducked anyone in the past, so why are the ducking Hatton? Let me answer that for you....THEY AREN'T. It's ****ing Warren demanding too much that botchs all the possible matches.Comment

Phillips had gas in the tank against Hatton, he was filled the the eye balls with steroids!!Originally posted by jabsRstiff
I dont like to judge on common foes but Hattons win was a lot more impressive than Tszyu effort, even if you take age & ambition into consideration.Comment

No...once you take age & ambition into account, that's what makes Hatton's victory not so impressive.Comment

Either way, props to Phillips - that boy can take some abuse, old man or not.Originally posted by jabsRstiffComment

I always liked Phillips.
He'd have been even better, had he not gotten hooked on drugs, early in his career.
He came back from that nicely, however.Comment
