Good points. My theory is that they took too long with Hatton cos he may well have been at the top of his game in his first big fight against tszyu, and could be on the way down now when he should be cashing in. The opposite can apply of course, tszyu's career may have been shortened because he had too many tough fights early. Its about balance i guess.
