Hatton vs Urango...?

[Hitman932]

I agree completely with your entire post........

i feel bad for ben rabah.

certainly not an exciting fighter, but a smart and disciplined one, on my scorecard he beat juan urango 8 rounds to 3 with 1 round even. there was never any mention of a rematch and rabah was sent packing back to australia with nothing to show for what was ultimately a dominating performance, i cant imagine how depressing it must have been for him.

now he has to find out that the guy who was given the title is now going to be given a fight with one of the biggest names in the game and will surely capture the biggest payday of his career.

this opp doesent belong to urango, i for one am not going to lose sight of that fact.

I just don't see how anyone in boxing's resume right now can compare to this

1) Carlos Hernandez
2) Jesus Chavez
3) Diego Corrales
4) Jose Luis Castillo
5) DeMarcus Corley
6) Arturo Gatti
7) Sharmba Mitchell
8) Zab Judah

De La Hoya has fought better opposition, but he lost to half of the great fighters he fought

Morales comes closest, having fought Hernandez and Chavez as well as Barrera three times and Pacquiao twice, but out of those particular 5 fights, he lost 3

Dude, you forgot to mention Genaro Hernandez who is the top 2 or 3 best boxer PBF has beaten.

I didn't want to put Manfredy in because Mayweather dusted him so easily and so did Corrales. Morales actually struggled with Hernandez and Chavez whereas Mayweather didn't nearly as much.

I wouldn't say Floyd had an easy night with Jesus Chavez. Also, you conveniently left out that Morales has beaten other HOF material such as Daniel Zaragoza and Paulie Ayala. Other very solid opponents like In-Jin Chi and Kevin Kelley.

The main difference between the two is that Morales has fought (and beaten) the best there is to offer at every weight class he's been in. Mayweather has not.

You are right and I never really put too much thought into it but Man Ben Rabah must feel like hell because he did what he was supposed to and still got ****ed.......Hopefully he fights on and does not retire or anything because he is a decnt fighter.Qaurtey wasted so many years due to seemingly giving up.

That was as bad as robbery I've ever seen, I give Urango 2 rounds, I think I was being nice with one of them. People talk about robberies they shopuld watch this fight, not some close fights.

But also I see Urango giving Hatton a tough fight, styles makes fights, I don't see Hatton boxing around urango the way ben did.

worst decision ever, the scorecards were preposterous

atlas has it 117-110 for rabah, 9 rounds to 3

one of the judges scored it 117-110, 9 rounds to 3 for urango.

when it was announced i sincerely though they read them backwards and were going to come back and announce rabah the winner.

Hatton has gone from fighting one of the 140 pounders in history to now fighting a guy just above prospect status who got a gift decision his last fight...

Didn't Hatton say he came to the US to make the big fights? We're still waiting...

Floyd has yet to fight some of Kosta's satus when Hatton fought him, you're a biased fan.

I agree with you in theory. Though now after watching more of Hatton I'm starting to think Koz was simply over the hill. Koz hadn't fought regularly for 2 years and his only work was a short fight against Sharmba Mitchell (who is nothing like Hatton). Tyszu in history will go down as a better fighter than Corrales or Castillo, but I think when Floyd fought Corrales that Corrales was in his prime (although his pending jail sentence probably contributed to his awful performance).

Gatti,Corely,Judah,Mitchell and G hernandez..were either coming off loses or recently KO'd..Gatti? Dela had already Ko'd Gatti at one point and he has a loss against Ward of all people. G ehernandez was already Ko against Dela and was passed his prime when Floyd fought him..

corely was beatin by Zab,,Zab was just beatin by Baldi..MITCHELL??? joke, HE'S OLD and Kosta had already destroyed him.

these are just names..you think Larry Donald and Ruiz are great cuz they beat Holyfield when he was old??

Floyd has Castillo and Corrales on his resume that impress me. And Casamayor tko'd Corrales....so he's beatable!!!

Normally i'd say that Hatton would beat up Urango, because Urango is still not on the same level. BUT if they fight, and if the fight is going to be in Hollywood Florida then i'll take Urango with another HOMETOWN DECISION............

they won't let Urango lose in Florida, his fight with Ben Rahab and his fight with Mike Araoutis were both scoring travesties.

i had Urango losing both fights and he pulled a draw out of one and he pulled a gift decision out of the other............

it all depends on the geography of the fight...........at least thats the way i see it.....................stirring the pot....
