N'dou should count his blessings, he will still get his title shot, this way around they might have him fight someone he has a cat in hells chance of beating.

He could also ask himself how he managed to find himself in an elimination fight to begin with.

Cool click Memphis. This very thread emphasises the fact that Hatton simply cannot win. He's critisized no matter what he does. He doesn't make defences because the governing bodies install very average fighters as the number 1 contenders. First off he gets absolutely slated for wanting to defend it, now he's getting slated for wanting to fight a better fighter instead? Strange.
