Hatton was giving it loads in the runup to that fight and even flipped Floyd the finger and gave him the wanker gesture during the weigh in, doubtless feeling hard because of all his thousands of fans backing him up.

In the ring though it was an humiliation which ended with Hatton knocking himself out on the ring turnbuckle in the 10th round.

Not even Zelenoff can top that.
No, no, no, no, no.

Bilbo, thats just off the radar mate! Hatton was bigging himself up but gave a pretty decent account of himself. He lost to the best fighter on the planet and outside of his own comfort zone. No shame in that. He took shots and kept on bouncing back and he actually tried to mount an offense. It was ineffective but he controlled the ring at times in there.

Zelenoff is a bum and to be honest is quite frightening because he is so completely lacking in self awareness. Hatton could fart on him and he would quit crying foul play!!
