How about this: when Hatton beat Tszyu, it was just because Tszyu was past his prime.

See? Works both ways!
Why is it it lame?? I think Cotto and Mayweather will probably beat him either way, but lame?? Hatton struggled against a guy (Uranga) who had no boxing skills whatsoever, he was fucked i have never seen Hatton like that before 18 months ago the majority of this forum would put Hatton top 3/4 fittest boxers in the ring, he has not looked good, he looked his best between 2003/2005, you say he is 28, but over the last 2 years he has fought twice so that works out at say 20 weeks getting yourself ready in a period of 102 weeks, so for only 15% of the time over the past two years he has been working out, getting in shape the other 80/85% he has been eating what he wants drinking what he wants basically living life to the full, thats why i think he is past his best he has not been active enough, so i dont see how that can be lame Age is a number it's how you look after yourself, look at BHop most 42 year olds struggle to get out of bed the next day after some sort of exercise, but BHop is still a top boxer because he has lived his life in the correct way to keep him the way he is at 42.
