    Yeah but Tszyu fought for the IBF title after about 13 or 14 fights so he's been on the fast track compared to just about anybody

      Its obvious Tszyu has fought and beaten better fighters than Hatton, hell Tszyu had a ten year head start!!

      Tszyu turned pro late so he was able to progess faster, Hatton turned pro early when he still had a lot of learning still to do.

      Tszyu's had 120+ more amateur fights than Hatton, that experience is a huge advantage especially since Tszyu's Pro&Am style is the same.

      In future you should check Hatton's record from when he turned 21, thats the age boys become men.

          Hatton's 11th fight was for a British title and his 13th was for the WBO title.

            Maybe a WBO intercontinental title but I think you've had your answer.

              that's my exact thoughts, however i do think that hatton went after the bottom of the barrel fighters to make his record look good


              barryboy, accept da fact that your boy based his career off of beating up lower calibr fighters. you are acting like the IC WBO belt is worthless.

                This has to be the dumbest topic ever. I didnt read the replies, but if anyone dared to say Hatton its obvious that your lips on his "bum" is the reason why you cant see reality from fiction.

                  I agree

                  I think the term bum should be used with fighters who ***** out of fights, but far to many people call fighters bums when they have never seen them. I prefer to make comments about the records if havent seen them fight.

                    I dont blame Hatton, He fought the fighters Warren put in front of him, Warrens well known for giving his talented fighters the easiest possible start.

                      my iq dropped reading this. it is not dumb, the person posting this is.

                      age and ring experience doesnt always make it a no-brainer. look at mike tyson for example you ****hill
