    I don't like lumping Ricky's loss in with that, because there was nothing wrong with his performance IMO, he just lost to a better fighter.

    I would have to pick Junior Witter. I was looking forward to a fight between him and hatton and actually believed he would give Ricky a lot of trouble. Then he blew it and looked like absolute garbage in the process.

    I was really disappointed in Wood's performance as well. He just didnt show up to fight, he was just happy to be there and go to a decision.

    Witter was the biggest let down for me. The others have no shame in loosing their fights but Witter performed poorly and I was never ever convinced he could beat Hatton but at least we would have got another battle of Britain before Hatton would have wiped him out.

    No one should be voting for Hatton here.

    He actually did better than most people would have expected and managed to win 2 rounds or so.

    I voted Hatton.

    Come on people, think back on the hype of the fight and how Hatton was suppose to maul and bust up Hatton. Remember his body attack was suppose to do a number on PBF and the inside fighting....

    Well....

    He went away from attacking the body but I think in reality Hatton winning rounds was impressive for him....we all WANTED him to do well but I don't think many EXPECTED him to do well

    For me- Witter.
    IMO, Hatton never stood a chance, and I didn't think Woods could do enough. Hatton did his best, Woods looked like he lacked confidence, but looked good at times, and was just outboxed. I won't even mention the Rees fight. Witter however, looked like an old amatuer. Horrible, and what makes it worse, the fight was there to be won for him. Hats off to Bradley for winning, and even flooring Witter, but Bradley did just enough to win. It looked like Witter had never heard of boxing.

    Toss up on this between Woods and Witter, I'll go with woods here, because he lost to a fictional boxer (Mason Dixon)

    Speak for yourself. I wanted to see Hatton punk ass get knocked the fukk out. Mayweather and the ring post made that possible

    Well....
    The Hatton camp said Hatton was going to maul and bust up Floyd... I don't think anyone actually believed it.

    Most outside observers, including myself, viewed that fight as a one-sided mismatch that Floyd would likely dominate.

    I'm with you. Hatton went out on his shield. He did ok the first half of the fight and he gave PBF problems. It was exciting and an all out fight. I actually enjoyed a PBF fight. Hatton made me enjoy watching a fight with a guy I can't stand or usually stand watching. Hatton could have easily let off the gas and cruised to a decision loss. He was trying to win and forced PBF to fight. If PBF let Zab off the hook, he would have let Hatton. Floyd comes to win boxing matches, not fights. He would've been content to cruise to a unanimous decision. Ricky wouldn't let him, and he got ko'd for it. Too bad, but not a let down of a fight or effort. Just a let down if you really thought Hatton was invincible.

    Woods by a mile. He was pathetic. For some strange reason he seemed to believe Tarver was Roy Jones from 2002.

    Hatton did well against Floyd. I expected him to be KO'd faster.

    Rees doesn't belong in world class. He fought his best fight against Kotelnik.

    Witter lost to a young - 10 years his junior (no pun) - hungry, unbeaten fighter. Hardly a shock.
