This is what is wrong with boxing, the guy got outclassed by a prospect and never deserved a title shot in the first place.

hatton will get another payday for playing along. he didnt walk and didnt quit(he thought about it) so we give him another undeserved title shot.

hatton showed up for a check against the ginger and gets rewarded with a future shot at a major WW...
this is GBP guys...Comment

This is a travesty.Comment

He deserves a shot. Hatton showed a lot of guts and grit and despite how they talked about him like he was trash, I saw some crisp punches thrown with a lot of speed, and unlike most of these clowns HE CAME TO FIGHT.
Good for Hatton, I will tune in for that.Comment

Even thou Matt Hatton isn't a world class fighter I think he's earned the right to contend for a belt or at least face of the top echelon of the division.
Even thou I know it's obsurd talk by myself I'd like to see him fight Manny or Floyd at WW as a tune up fight for either of them, but more so to see how he fairs compaired to Ricky, doubtful either fight will take place, I reckon he'd fair better with either than Ricky did,Comment

I can't believe that I'm reading.
Why would Matthew Hatton get a title shot? It makes no sense.
The guy does nothing his whole career, gets stopped and beaten by bums, one of his biggest fights is a draw with Lovemore N'dou.
Suddenly he gets dominated every single round against a 20 year old prospect and everyone suddenly loves him and he gets given another title shot?
Out of the blue after 1 fight of him getting dominated myths start flying around that he is an inside fighter and has a better chin than his brother.
**** is ****ing unbelieveable.Comment

So we see Broner get beat by Ponce De Leon and one judge scores it a landslide victory for Broner, and Hatton getting a shot is what is wrong with boxing?Originally posted by RichCCFC View Post
Give me a break. Boxing is all about politics and corruption. Hatton proved to be a fan friendly fighter as he came to fight, never stopped coming forward and threw punches.
That is what should be rewarded and I think that he will put on a hell of a show in a big welterweight fight.
Boxing isn't always about who is the best, because a lot of times the greatest fighters never have good enough management to make it big, that's why we have guys like Andre Berto, David Lemieux, Devon Alexander, Tim Bradley and a whole slew of guys who couldn't hold a candle to the past all time greats, yet they are what we're forced to watch.
Gimme a break with "This is what's wrong with boxing." Broner winning a decision over Broner is what's wrong with boxing. Manny and Floyd not fighting is what's wrong with boxing. Arum cheating history is what's wrong with boxing. 20 vacant titles going to fighters who haven't proven themselves is what's wrong with boxing.
I can't believe that after the guts and show he put on for the crowd Saturday night, people would say that him getting a shot is what's wrong with boxing. The guy worked and fought his heart out and for being outclassed and HEAVILY outweighed by a bigger, younger guy, FOUGHT A GREAT FIGHT WITH WHAT HE HAD TO WORK WITH.Comment

No you're right Dan, Hatton doesn't deserve a shot, but Pacquiao deserves a 154 pound title at a 150 catchweight because he fought the best guys at 154 and earned the right to fight for that title.Originally posted by IronDanHamza View Post
