hatton-tszyu takes some beating. Nobody really gave the unbeaten hatton much of a chance as he was stepping in with someone 5times better than he`d been in with before. Head and heart both suggested ricky was perhaps gonna get stopped around 7-8 but he just took the fight to tszyu and that iconic moment at the end of the 11th will always be with me as i remember having goosebumps all over.

Also the night hopkins beat pavlik when again nobody gave him a chance. That moment at the end of the fight where hopkins just stood infront press row and gave that emotional look is something i will take to my grave with me!!
I remember reading Boxing Monthly before the Hatton - Tszyu fight and all 25 supposed experts had Tszyu, most by KO. So i suppose it was quite a big upset at the time.
Everybody expected a one on one fight. Which is why everybody picked Tszyu. He was past his prime. Coming off multiple surgery. And had been pretty inactive. But he was still clearly the better fighter. What nobody expected was the fight would be a handicap fight. Tszyu vs Ricky Hatton & Dave Paris. It was a shameful charade.
