Sugar Ray Leonard hadnt boxed for three years before he beat hagler. Some lay off.

yes massau was stopped in the first, but he had gone the distance the fight before and the opponent who stopped him is no bum. remember hatton gave him a constant beating.


Against Collazo, Hatton put on extra weight by eating junk food to bulk up. Something he wont be doing this time and he took the bout on a few weeks notice.

Against Urango he totally outboxed an unbeaten opponent losing only one round.

And as for Castillio hatton did what no other boxer has done to him, he knocked him down and stopped him.

tyszu hasnt boxed since. look at him after the Hatton bout and you dont need to ask why.
