Hopefully he can move back to his natural weight class and be a test for other up and coming fighters at least.

He'd be a tough test for the likes of John Murray and Kevin Mitchell if they wanted to get in the ring with a recognisable British name.

Totally. Matthew Hatton has joined my hero list alongside Orwell, Finklestein, Chomsky, Barrera and James Toney.

I won't have a bad word said about Matthew Hatton. Very limited in terms of the tools he has, but he puts what he has to very good use. He's just a decent level domestic fighter and he went the distance against one of HBO's hype jobs. Good on him. He did himself proud out there and showed that Alvarez is just a bit of a hype job. I fancy quite a few to beat him at JMW.

He is still young and will improve, but I can't stand fighters who get it all handed over on a plate and that is what is happening with him and he can't even make the weights that he signs up for. It's just wrong.

Alvarez, let's just say has potential, but I was not impressed with his technique. No angles and no defense. Strong as hell. I might even compare him to Yori Boy.

well thank you my good man. I orginally came on here to spam one of my businesses, however, along with being a trainer/amatuer punching bag, i'm a huge boxing fan. The only other forums i've been on are rosstraining and, well, thats it. BS.com is filled with, well...you know. So, seems like there's some decent guys around here that can "talk" about the sweet science, so i'll stick around for a bit.
