    Hatton=mediocre

    I just finished watching Hatton versus Magee and Tackie and I was pretty shocked. I haven't seen much of this kid and the brits sure seem to think he is the real deal, but I don't see anything special at all. In fact, if he actually gets in the ring with Zoo he is gonna get flat out killed. They should keep this kid as far away from Zoo as possible. I can see him taking a beating that ends his career at an early age if he steps up and takes this fight. Magee, who probably doesn't punch much harder than my sister, knocked him on his ass with a weak punch. Zoo will ****ing kill this guy. If he steps in the ring with Kostya he is toast.

      You ever even seen Magee fight to judge his punching power?

        Those fights were in 2002 and 2003 respectivley, do you think Ricky Hatton has got worse with age. IMO i don't.

            Phillips was little more drugged up against Hatton, i dont think the age was an issue because phillips fought exactly the same fight against them both and steroids do shave years off your age.

            I put it down to a bad Tszyu night, Tszyu's a lot better now.

              he absolutley destroyed Ben Tackie, what fight were you watching? I know he didn't knock him out but tackie has a really good chin.

                A seriously thick skull!! Didnt Hatton damage his hands badly and say Tackie has the hardest head he's ever punched.

                Although Tszyu give Tackie a beating he wasnt willing to trade with him, Tackie isnt a skillful fighter but he can punch hard and take one.

                  I think that Tszyu has the edge in overall power, but Hatton has such a strong workrate, that if Hatton can get the fight into the second half he may be able to win rounds although I don't see KT getting stopped.

                  Hatton wins his fights through attrition. He throws about 90 punches per round and had a great body attack. He is going to have to use that along with some defense to beat KT.

                  Hatton UD12 for the lineal junior welterweight champoinship of the world.
