But is that so bad though? Effectively what you are saying is that because of who his brother is Hatton is more interesting to the average fight fan than Ryan Rhodes, and so there for gets an opportunity that Ryan didn't.

That's good right? Ok not for Ryan Rhodes, but good that fightfans get to see who they want to fight.

Nepotism is rife in boxing. Chavez Jr, Ronald Hearns, McGirt Jr, Bobby Pacquaio.....none of these guys would have careers if it wasn't for their father's or siblings.

But thanks to their more successful relations these guys get to put food on their families tables. It's a wonderful thing.
