hatton mayweather

i dont know whether or not hatton would have ever had a chance against mayweather, mayweather has looked unbeatable since, but the ref made sure that hatton wasnt winning on the night

im still angry to this day whenever I think about the judges giving Ray Leonard the decision against Hagler. On the same theme, there is no way in the world that the Hearns Leonard rematch was a draw.

I was a huge Tyson fan, and I remember going into shock as I watched Buster Douglas batter him. Fair play to Buster, that was a great great performance.

Don't worry mate, the rest of us do know. He wouldn't.

First time i watched The Champ





Probably Bruno v Tyson 1 - sat up all night and listened on the radio.

Really though Bruno could spark him

Zarate vs Gomez. I watched that fight for the first time two days ago.
Little Red Lopez losing to Bobby Chacon. That one took a long time.
Lopez losing to sanchez. Twice. I still hold that grudge.

Roy Jones vs Tarver and Johnson. Roy Jones was the fighter who got me interested in boxing and to see him go out like that after 15 years of boxing brilliance was hard.

Roberto Duran has always been one of my favs and to see him go out like he did vs Leonard 2 and Hearns was pretty bad too.

Foreman/Frazier got to me but I'd have to say Hearns/Leonard. Watched it live on closed circuit at the old Corral in Calgary. I disliked Leonard immensely and Tommy was my favourite. My buddy had a man crush on Leonard. I was rubbing his face in it for 39 minutes and then......

Arguello/Pryor 1 happened in that same time frame and that got to me also but not like Hearns/Leonard. Tito/Hop followed. I was at a party and left. Went downtown to a pub, handed the bartender my keys and got shit faced. Roy/Tarver ripped pretty deep because Roy was right up there with Tommy but I half expected it after Ruiz and how he looked in the first Tarver fight.

[Mark TKO]

Gutted at all Nigel Benn’s losses – my favourite ever fighter and I was on edge watching him fight live. Devastated by the Eubank loss and the two where he quit against Collins

I could handle Bruno’s defeats more as I expected them !

Felt deflated as Hatton crashed to the canvas against Mayweather. Had been lucky enough to get a ticket and go across and was convinced by fight night Hatton was going to do it – got a little carried away to be fair….

Was also pissed off with Lewis when he was out of shape and ill prepared for Rahman I.

I agree on each but

Leonard vs Hagler and
Leonard vs Heard are by far the worst for me.

Strangely I respect Leonard as much as any fighter now.(even if he started all the money issues in the sport as far as I'm concerned)
