Tszyu Bout Could Be Hatton's Final Shot

Ricky Hatton is going to kiss the floor several times, cause he never fought an opponent like the "Thunder from Down-Under". Hattton only fights in his backyard. When does he show some balls to make a trip to the States and face a worthy opponent?

He probably fought at a higher level than did Hatton.

Cotto faced both Ricaro Williams & Abdullaev in the amateurs.
That's serious competition.

Hatton fought at a very good level i'm told, he beat the Cuba champion in cuba which is good considering the fact he was never older than 17 whilst in the ams. He also won bronze in the junior world champs, thats very good considering he doesnt throw his jab.

Cotto probably did fight at a higher amatuer level than Hatton because he didnt turn pro until 21, probably not high enough to be beat 19 times more in the 3 extra years.

My point is Cotto gets praised a lot more than Hatton but his career hasnt been better, IMO Hattons fought better fighters during his pro career. I dont like to knock Cotto because he's done brilliantly upto now, i think he's got a very good career ahead of him.

Think about it, Tszyu's never thought anyone like Hatton. Who else has Hatton's style??

Maybe Tszyu will win but if he doesnt your gonna feel like a twat for disrespecting Hatton!

And for your comment about Hatton fighting in the UK you get this pic!!

THE RINGS AND RULES ARE THE SAME IN THE UK AS THE US SO WHY THE **** DOES IT MATTER WHERE HE FIGHTS

Hatton will be obliterated by Tszyu. Absolutely obliterated.

I don't see anything Hatton can do to beat Tszyu.


Kostya Tszyu is not gonna lose because someone "outworked" him.
Not at this stage.

No ****ing way. If Tsyzu wins it`ll be middle to late in the fight. Hatton has a great chin. Just watch the Vince Philips fight. Tsyzu will know he has been in a fight either way!

Like the little big man

It should be Little man big *****, after seeing Mithcell pull out of the first Tszyu fight it was obviously he had no heart.

I think Hatton could chop Tszyu down with his body shots, Tszyu's style could be made for Hatton(who knows) and IMO he's got what it takes to win but i wouldnt bet on it.

I still favour Tszyu at this stage though.

Tszyu does not look vulnerable to a body attack....& I see his always-on (& deadly) right hand bashing Ricky as he cranks up those body shots.

Neither was DLH before the Hopkins fight

Hattons body shots would hurt anyone, Tszyu gets hurt a lot in fights so its very possible.

I'd expect the Tsyzu right to be a good shot against Hatton, i wouldnt mind betting Hatton will work on slipping it a lot.

Although i favour Tszyu the styles match is brilliant, i hope their chins hold up because it could be a great fight.
