The Bottom Line on Ricky Hatton

[DiegoFuego]

Is this. He won a title in a weight class in which he'd never fought against a tall, rangy southpaw (the toughest, most awkward type of opponent to face) in a country in which he'd never fought and scored a knock down in doing so.

No matter how you slice it, you have to give him his props. And that's just being respectful to our sport.

3 world titles straight..... thats the bottom line.

I agree, he deserves his props, no matter how much anyone complains about his tactics.

Good responses so far. I think Collazo fans/Hatton haters are starting to quiet down, especially after watching the replay today.

I will say this, however. My dad was watching a couple rounds of the fight and thought Collazo won; HOWEVER, he was NOT scoring round by round. It's easy to say Collazo won if you don't score every round and add up the points later.,

You pretty much summed it up...

my old man was sayinig the same thing for a while and then he chnged his mind when he saw hattons body language after the breaks in comparison to collazo's.

Plus his first fight in the new weight division wasn't againt just anyone, it was against the champ.

And a very good champ by the way.

Nothing left to be said on my behalf, it's all been said.
