Who did you expect him to beat if all he fought were tomato cans? He wouldn’t fight Harris or Shamba Mitchell. They even attended his fights in Manchester but he wanted nobodies. The only fighter he really has on his resume is Costa Tsyu who was already over the Hill by then. His victory over Luis Collazo was debatable and Castillo was really Washed up it was so embarrassment just fighting him by the time he fought him. This is common in the UK, feed fighters some useless fighters then cross over the USA for the last 2 fights and lose badly.

I def back Dubois to reach the top-5 but can't say beyond that. He hasn't looked as impressive in his early fights as Wilder and Joshua.
It's just too early. He needs to fight some half-decent fighters fast!
I was a big fan of Hamed back in the day but his opponents were mostly terrible .Some of them had like 20 losses on their record - esp in the early days. Warren still using that template nowComment

Hatton has nothing to be embarrassed against - except when he quit after FLoyd and Manny beat him
. That was just lame. Any half-decent fighter would train harder and try to beat them in rematches.
Especially since Pacquio later said he won on a 'tell' and was struggling with Hatton at times in there.Comment

Funny coming from Naseem though...
Dubois' humble character couldn't be further away from Nas' artificially inflated ego bubble.
Which was burst by Barrera, and Nas subsequently lost all interest for boxing.Comment

I am struggling to remember Pacquiao struggling with Hatton at all...Comment

Vlad Sirenko is the future as long as he is in with Bashir ,that is the real boxer puncher whos doingh it right, all you guys crying over fights when that says you just started watching boxing. Study Sirenko and his career ,hes going to be Mike Tyson all over again , lights out for most and to good of a boxer to win a decision from .Comment

Fury did`t look great for me when he was a young fringe contender, but he is at top of the game right now. So who knows. All top guys have some flaws.
Sirenko, Hrgovic, Ajagba , DDD, Yoka..one of them will be world champ probably, maybe even more of them.Comment

He beat alot of good fighters. Alot of world champions. I didnt say elite did I? But to say "I wouldn't listen to him" as if he's a bum? What are you guys smoking? He was a level above most champions, one of the best punchers of hes day, one of the most exciting fighters of hes day and best paid. He was a star.Comment

Its funny to hear you mention Mitchell. This is the same guy who quit verses Tszyu. Why would Hatton duck him. Harris? He was taken apart by a Brit, Witter, didnt even win a round. Guess they were hype jobs too? Was Zab a hype job, he got beat bad by Tszyu. He was rubbish then. As for hype jobs, the states have turned out as many as anyone else. You forgot Michael Grant have you? Forgot Jeff Lacy did you? How about old Deontay, another one with a long undefeated record til he met a decent Brit. You lot have 5 x the population of the UK, but you can't even produce a decent heavy. Glass houses and stones spring to mind.Comment
