His chin is something that has been built up solely on the back of the Tszyu fight because he took a couple of solid looking shots without looking hurt. Thing is even Tszyu's power seem to have been hit or miss. It lookes spectacular when he ko'd Judah....but Judah's china chin obviously helped in that dept. Seen a few interviews (only yesterday as it happens - old boxing monthly mag) with Tszyu's past oppnents - some say he hits hard, some say he can't really punch. I'd guess the truth is somewhere in between but the power is hyped because his best win resulted in a spectacular KO. Anyway getting back to Hatton....


I've watched him his whole career and he has been stunned or hurt on numerous occassions. Gilbert Quiros seriously hurt him in the first round of their fight back in 2000. Eamonn Magee had him down and then badly hurt in the 2nd round, Vince Phillips shook him up big-time. Hatton even admitting that his legs had completely gone at that point in the fight. Tackie also tagged him and hurt him. Then there was the Urango fight where a body shot doubled him over and then Collazo hurt him several times before Lazcano had him in trouble twice. His punch resistance has just been pretty average. Against all of the above he could get away with it because they weren't quite good enough to finish him off and as such let him off the hook. He just wasn't that lucky against Mayweather or the Pacman.
