I thought Hatton on points but wouldnt it be just like the Colazzo fight. If Hatton has any more close 1s I dont think he will get any favours off the judges now. Magee wasnt known as a particularly hard hitter but he gave Hatton nightmares with his speed. I just think if Forbes had a pick of a superfight with a realistic chance he should go for Ricky . Zab Judah is a another big name I think Forbes might beat . Hes there for the taking IMO .


but why exactly would an established champion like hatton opt to fight a steve forbes when their are much bigger paydays out there for much easier work!!

I give lazcano slim to none to beat hatton, i give malinaggi a fighters chance but no more than that and i expect that hatton will stop him late on.

As for steve forbes vs ricky hatton = a hard fought grinding UD for hatton that offers nothing but more questions about whether he is now a spent force and should consider hanging up his gloves.
