That was the general consensus when they fought anyway.

I can see the same things being said if Hatton beats Castillo.














I am not making excuses for the loss...Hatton beat him fair and square...Tszyu was the man at the time they fought and not to sound cheesy ...But you know the old expression...To be the man you have to beat the man....and that is what Hatton did....

But look at it like this....

Camacho Beat an old Ray Leonard...Do you think Ray would have lost to Hector Sr in his prime....Most likely not...but Camacho did get a win over him.....Now if the fight took place 8-10 yrs earlier would you have picked Camacho?
Thats totally different Leonard was really old and had been shot for ages like when he got out boxed by Norris and hadn't fought for 6 years where as Kostya was knocking everybody out nobody thought before Hatton fight that he was shot thats why no one gave Hatton chance but now Hatton won people are saying he is shot and ect which makes me laugh considering they didn't give Hatton a hope in hell before.
