I don't hate him, he seems a really personable young chap to be honest. It's just his fighting style bores me, his performances bore me, and the excuses that both he and all of his fans routinely come up with to defend his poor performances bore me.

Plus the fact he's trying to hype a 'super' fight with a lame warhorse in boxings weakest division also bores me.

Hatton vs Castillo =
