By the way, Tszyu went low twice before Hatton retaliated.

Hatton is a rough fighter, no doubt about it, but boxing is all about styles and the ability to jab from the outside, although high on technical merit, is not just what boxing is all about.

You can criticise the brawler all you want, but the aim of the game is to outpoint or knockout your opponent in a fashion that is within the rules of the sport.
At the elite level, Hatton stretches them to the limit, just like every other elite athlete in every other sport.

Mayweather chooses rings at a size to maximise his ability to move.
Hatton pushes his way to the inside in a manner which is only just satisfactory to the ref.

Which is the most underhand tactic when the ref/sanctioning body allows them both?
The answer is neither.

Hatton is a rough fighter. He is like the Old Testament in a boxing ring. An eye for an eye,or in the Tszyu case, a nut for a nut
I agree Hatton would have the crowd advantage, but thats where it stops imo, HBO will be with Matyweather he will have the ref all the advantages he might need to beat Hatton, but hey you never know, also Wembley is good but it would have to be 4am is that viable with most fans comign from Manchester? Not sure Vegas makes the most sense to me.
