I don't get Hatton

[Kel]

Floyd is not an exiting fighter. Ricky is not "dissing" him by saying that at all.
Floyd has great skill, there is no doubt about that and no one is saying he hasnt. But his "hit and run" style IS boring to watch. I would expect any American to speak in his favour though.

His hit & run style is effective & produces shut outs & knockouts.

It has nothing to do with any American's speaking in his favor. Don't single out a fan on his nationality...that is something that I long ago learned as a member of this forum...Ricky is as much dissing Floyd as one does the other.

Happens all the time in boxing. You know that...as well as we all do...it's normally referred to as a build up or publicity stunt...& it often works.

What's good for the goose.

If you all love his "im gonna fight ODLH toe to toe and knock him out" type outbursts, make a fan site for him (then find him some fans to post on it). That way we dont have to put up with this S*** on a daily basis on a totally unbiased boxing forum.

You know what...I thought earlier in a post you were telling someone else that you were entitled to your opinion & then ended up calling them an idiot or something of a sort...wankerish or something...& then here you are telling them to set up a site so that "we dont have to put up with this S*** on a daily basis on a totally unbiased boxing forum."

Let me enlighten you...WE don't look at things like that...WE discuss or even argue things out...because WE like it that way. WE don't like being told what to do when it comes to OUR fighters nor do WE like having things dictated to US.

Take that in mind.

The only thing you have been told to do was to keep down the name calling & the S*** stirring...& even then...you were asked nicely.

His hit & run style is effective & produces shut outs & knockouts.............I KNOW! BUT ITS STILL BORING.

It has nothing to do with any American's speaking in his favor......OBVIOUSLY, THAT WOULD NEVER IMPROVE HIS ABILITY!

Don't single out a fan on his nationality...that is something that I long ago learned as a member of this forum...Ricky is as much dissing Floyd as one does the other..........I DID NO SUCH THING AND IM GLAD YOU DID ACTUALLY LEARN SOMETHING.

Happens all the time in boxing. You know that...as well as we all do...it's normally referred to as a build up or publicity stunt...& it often works......STILL A LOAD OF BULLSHIT THOUGH AND ITS BEEN HEARD TOO MANY TIMES BEFORE.

Hate to disagree with you on this note Hairi...but Oscar already stated that he would finally love to silence all the rumors that he dodged the Wink...which...being a fan of Oscar's & Winky's...I can honestly say...he did dodge Winky...like Neo dodged bullets in the Matrix.

Love to agree and disagree with you here Wackoff... yep Oscar dodged Winky like Peter La Fleur but Oscar won't ever get in the ring with Winky he is to smart to be made a fool of.

Shit babe...if we didn't love to agree & disagree...where would we all be?

He's already stated that he wanted Winky due to the fact that he & Mosley would never fight again. Beat the man that beat the man & thus...you are the man. Ahhhhhhhhh the mentality of the champion. Heh heh heh.

Mosley vs Oscar? Nope. Too much money invested in that partnership...& I think that Oscar pretty much knows that Mosley's got too much confidence over his wins first win.

Agreed.. I didnt mean to imply Oscar v Mosley would ever happen again!

I know babe...I was just throwing that out there for the record.

Hatton vs Oscar? Oscar would kill Hatton...no way he can compete at 154lbs...just no way.

Agreed again... Hatton would get destroyed but I still believe the fight could happen. Oscar looked good against Mayorga so imagine how good Hatton would make him look!!

Yep. Oscar does well against a "come forward kinda guy" which leads me to believe that a certain "you know who" could cause him some great issues...aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh fwock! I can't believe that I gotta keep my trap shut for 5 months on this gotdam match up!

Heh heh heh.

I give up......your a great poster though I have read S*** loads of your threads and posts, I dont have the patience for all this I much prefer to just read the forum. I speak straight and to the point and hate to debate. Sorry if I seem like a bit of a rude B******, I just read a few of my old posts and I would take them the wrong way too.

Cheers wacko! I need a smoke now. *kicks cat as he walks out*

Your a git you are

I guess we will have to agree to disagree then shza because I honestly think their is more chance of Oscar v Hatton (assuming he beats Castillo) than Oscar v Mosley or Oscar v Winky.

Cory Spinks...there is no way Spinks has more fans than Hatton after a Castillo win unless the fight was in St Louis.

Miguel Cotto... well if he makes a splash at 147 and picks up Hattons old belt then I agree that would be a bigger event.

I never said Hatton "would go down as a great in the history books" I said "his name will pop up in the history books" and only because of his good fortune against Kostya. I agree that it was the timing and circumstances of the bout that got him the win.

It pains me to say this..

You may not believe Hatton ended Kostya's career but when someone retires after you make them quit on their stool you are entitled to say so and it will be written in black and white in the History books.

Fair enough. We'll agree to disagree. Cheers and

How come when Ali and Leonard used to throw few punches, and only try to finish opponents they already hurt it was considered boxing masterpiece, and yet when Mayweather does it all the sudden it's a cowardly way of fighting, and that he can't really box... I think he has done more inside fighting either of the aformentioned parties, and he deserves all the credit in the world for being both talented, and having the guts to tough it out with anybody.

[El Gamo]

Oscar won't fight Winky and on a side note,Mosley wants to fight Cotto alot.

[ono]

Hatton is basically too short to work his style against the bigger opponent.

I reckon Hatton, with his excellent nutrionalist, Kerry Kayes, could even boil down to lightweight if he really wanted to.

It's not that Hatton is a worse fighter than the aforementioned - far from it.

Infact i dare say he could beat anybody in the world who is like-for-like in stature (5'6), but when he comes up against naturally bigger guys he is giving them a tremendous chance of taking the victory.

Wheras Floyd, for example, his height & build lends itself more to slightly higher weights - and given his style (the total opposite of Hatton) he can fend for himself against these types of opponents.

Hatton's 'in your face' style can be negated by the bigger fighter.

Like every other neutral boxing fanatic, a match-up with Mayweather is a dream come true - but i believe HBO are trying to build his profile first for maximum impact stateside, should this bout ever be made.

Hence the choice of opponents leading to criticsm in some parts. By the close of 2007, i believe boxing fans will see Hatton either in / or planning a large showdown with one of the other marquee fighters in or around the 140/147 mark.

Fingers crossed.

I can see why you have so many cc's and no sc's. Some excellent points and i completley agree with ya.

wow I can't believe I haven't given that match up any thought!! That would be a terrific fight!! Lets hope Cotto picks up a belt. I can't wait to find out who Mosley is fighting next year.

Hopefully Margarito if he gtes by Clottey but more likely,Cotto because Shane knows he has more of a chance against Cotto than against Tony.

IMO Shane wipes the floor with both!! but if Cotto proves his mantel with a win over Quintana at 147 then he actually stands more of a chance than Tony against Mosley! Tony's to slow, wings his punches and is wide open for counters. Mosley only gets beat by slick boxers not high output punchers. oh and maybe father time
