fatton is an embarassment 2 british boxing

[elgaringo]

That's what I'd expect a guy who really has no single clue about boxing skill to say, and there are plenty of those about.

Gunstar put it exactly right! I would'nt mind some of what your smoking as well!! It'd be nice to get away from reality for a while

Anyway, you talk about Hattons "skill" quite a lot. Boxing skill is different to fighting skill and fighting heart. Now Hatton does'nt win fights with that much boxing skill! He hunts them down and fights them in close!

Your never gonna convince me that Hatton would stand a chance of beating Floyd, Cotto, Oscar or even Collazo (just to name a few) on boxing skill.

Define boxing skill to Hattons tyipical fighting skill. Hatton could'nt win fights on the back foot, jab jab jab 1 2 1 2 left hook right cross jab jab guard up not gettin hit like the way floyd or Oscar does. come on you get a clue!

how can u say that fatton is anythin close 2 the class of guys like calzaghe, chris eubank, mike watson, herol graham, JR WITTER ? he is a disgrace 2 brit boxin with his wrestlin & streetfightin. plz dont tell me that witter wouldn't of embarassed hatton last night, right ?

would u rather watch the grace & finesse of a eubank, the sharp hands of a calz, elusiveness of a young naz, or the limited brawler hatton ?

i sat watchin that bull **** last night at my dudes place (hes a fatton fan) & just shakin my head that im actually from manchester & this joke is supposed 2 be the best boxer in britain. collazo looked good, far better skills than fatton could ever dream. but collazo could not live with a margarito or judah so how would fatton cope with the top guys ? collazo won this fight no problem, 8 rounds to 4 i scored it for collz

fatton worse than lacy btw cos collz is nowhere near a calz, & lacy limited as ****

8 rounds to 4? hahaha. wtf? how u could u have possibly gottent hat score? wow... just wow. Thats rediculously wrong

You have to add at least 5 clinches in there.

Yeah I know what you mean but Im illustrating the tyipical actions of a boxer with a heap of boxing skill. I'd put the clinches in there if I were talking about Hatton... You still gotta love him though!!

i like how in the wlad v. byrd fight nobody had a problem with wlad stategically clinching, but if hatton does it he is a dirty fighter and a bum. hatton hating is way out of control in here.

How about we list all the good things about hatton:
-the most effective agressor i have ever watched
-top 20 best inside fighters i have ever watched
-extremely exciting and classy
-has the ability to win 3 titles in 3 fights, which included jumping up 7 pounds in one of them
-One of the best left hooks to the body in the game right now
-the most ferocious and constistant fighter the sport has right now
-the heart and will of a champion
-Best body puncher in the junior welterweight division.
-A genious in the ring. changes his style around to beat the other fighter. Something he has done in all his fights, but was unable to do against Collazo for some reason.

Now lest list the good about collazo:
-Great speed
-very effective from the outside
-can fight his opponents fight and get away with it
-solid footwork
-promoted by don king
-and... he looks good fighting in the ring

thats it. Hatton had a bad fight. He jumped up 7 pounds and struggled. He wasnt ready. He never proteced his face ONCE during that fight, and got a beating for it.

You can NEVER call a great fighter like hatton a disgrace to british boxing. he is STILL the king of the junior welterweight division. i see him beating EVERY single light weight and junior welterweight currently fighting. And by KO in most cases.

The jump up was a bad move. Picking a southpaw was a bad move. He IS the phenom everyone is hyping him up to be, he just isnt ready for welterweight yet. Once he grows into, im sure he'll be great there to. But he'll never be the dominant fighter in the welterweight division, that he is in the junior welterweight division.

NEVER call hatton a disgrace to the sport EVER. he is an excellent fighter. One of the best out there right now, and DEFINETLY the best junior welterweight. BY A LONG SHOT!!! Hatton is the best fighter to come out of england since lewis.

I dont wanna hear anymore crap from this topic creator. Hes been saying nothing but **** about hatton ever since he fought last night. He had a bad fight. EVERY FIGHTER THAT JUMPS UP IN WEIGHT, HAS A BAD FIGHT IN THEIR DEBUT. If hatton had some mildly smart managers, they would have gotten him a junior welterweight fight here in the states, so that he could show off his impressive fighting skills.

I aint hating! Im a big fan (even been to see him 4 times too).... I think Hatton more than makes up for the clinching that he does! Its not like he does a Henry Anaconda! He does a bit of punching in there too!!!
