I've dumped on him enough in the past, and I know you like him so I'm trying not to be a prick, but to me what people are missing is the big picture with Zab. It's not even that Hatton was responding to Tsyzu's lowblows, its that I don't remember a whole lot of classless stuff from those guys besides those incidents. Its more of a pattern with Zab than those guys. And even without the pattern Hatton's caught a lot of shit for the Tsyzu fight, I have no idea what people were saying about Trinidad back then, didn't even know boxing boards existed back then.

With Zab its a continuation of past actions, yeah I thought it was a pretty classless move, especially since he followed it with a punch to the back of the head, but its not the biggest deal in the world, especially if it was a stand alone type of thing. Its not, worse was the blatant BS punch in the Baldomir prefight, and much worse than either was the Nady BS after the Tsyzu fight. To me this was a relatively minor incident compared to those two but it's a pattern with Zab. I didn't see the Sample fight so I can't comment on that.

Look, he's not James Butler by any means, but I find it hard to call him a real class act either.
