Hatton vs Maussa

[druth]

The ring is just a biased US magazine, who cares about there rating!? they are probably the reason most US fans dont have a clue how good the other talent is around the world.

Then what's the excuse for the Brit fans? It sure seems as if the only fighters they think are good are British =) If I have to read another "Hatton would knock out any American fighter hahahhahah lolol!!!!!!111one11!"

I don't particularly care for your comment,however I'm diggin the Elizabeth Hurley picture. She's by far the best thing to come out of England since the Mayflower!

Nah, he backed out because Manny Steward said he wasn't ready yet.

The purse was by far the greatest he had ever been offered but he went to Germany to fight Urkhal instead for a fraction of the money, so how does your logic apply to that?

He knew Hatton was a bigger risk & a bigger money fight than Urkal. It was the principle that if his title was on the line & he was going into "enemy" territory, he wanted to be compensated. Anybody would want the same if put in that situation.

[J !]

steward pulled him out cos he didnt fancy his chances.

manny's words not mine.

Hatton had only fought bums and was unproven at that point according to most people on here. Urkal had put on a decent performance in going the distance with Tszyu so surely he should have been viewed as the bigger risk, especially considering Germany's record of judging and refs. It's all irrelevant anyway because Manny Steward admitted why they turned the fight down.

Once again the point is if you're in a potentially big money fight & you have the belt but the challenger wants you to fight in his backyard, you'd want to be compensated especially if your opponent is making a couple million. If you weren't such a die hard Hatton fan you'd be a little more objective.

The fight wasn't turned down over money. You seem to keep missing the part where Manny Steward admitted they turned the fight down because he didn't think Harris would win.

So you're basically saying that Hatton wouldn't go after the WBA belt if Harris still had it because he's scared of a fighter who's own trainer admitted Hatton would beat him? There's only one of us lacking objectivity here dude.

When did Stewart say this? I haven't heard or read anywhere where that was an issue. That's why I didn't respond to it.

Really? That's funny how Hatton was on the cover of The Ring? That's real bias right there if you ask me...

Its not going to be unrealistic and only put American fighters, but of course it will have more American than it should because that whats sells, the same thing will happen with Boxing Monthly in the UK. Readers like to see fighters they know appearing in it.

English fans just defend English fighters, their views are normally realistic, thats includes me. The only fighter i hype is Hatton, i have done for a long time, i like his style and ability, i'd hype him if he was Mexican/American or any other nationality so i wouldnt consider it bias.

Liz Hurley looks hot, she looks like a very good ****.

boxing monthly isn't biased, i think it pisses over the american mags
