Comments Thread For: Frank Warren Reflects on Ricky Hatton Shocking Kostya Tszyu

[Quicksilver*]

Loved Tszyu, but he was slightly past it then.

It's funny to think Tszyu was the last elite fighter to come out of Australia

Since then their best is Mundine, Green and Horn who are all sort of C+/B- level

Must be frustrating to be an Australian boxing fan, I'm sure the talent is there but they aren't discovering them.

Hatton will complain about the ref in the Floyd fight. But he won't say a peep about the ref in this fight who let him absolutely maul and rough house and low blow Tszyu.

I loved that fight, I remember sat on the end of the settee, cringing as Hatton walked on to that famous right hand time and time again. Honestly, not one for the purists but Hatton would have taken some stopping that night.

I vaguely seem to remember Ricky Hatton once saying that he doesn't think he would have beaten Kostya Tszyu in his prime? Did anyone else ever see this, or am I mistaken?

Hatton is far too arrogant and deluded to say something like that.
