With all this Castillo is shot talk, you guys make it seem like Hatton is some young fighter in his prime. He's not. He's in his late 20's. Has had over 40 fights. His poor defense allows him to get hit. He's known to abuse his body with his heavy drinking. He went from a relentless pressure fighter to a "let me hug you all night" fighter (why?). And most importantly, he has looked poorly his last 3 fights. Against fighters he should of destroyed. It wouldn't surprise me if come Saturday, Hatton turns out to be the shot fighter.
I gotta agree that his lifestyle has probably taken years off his boxing career, plus the amount of fights had and yeah he has got hit a lot. This fight will show exactly what he has left.
