    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)

    Imo Bernard Hopkins / Jermain Taylor 1.............with respect to him but Taylor was KO worthy in the late going,Hopkins needed it!!

    Holyfield "D." 12 Lewis 1........It should not have taken 24 rounds for Holyfield to fight like he did in the 2nd one

    Holyfield looked drained in the 1st meeting i don't know what was wrong with him because he trains very hard normally but his well known work rate wasn't there at all. And Holyfield was there for the taking really and truthfully Lewis could of stopped Holyfield on at least 2 occasions but he let Holyfield off the hook.

    It was akin to "Hitting the wall " you know?He looked almost similiar just previous with Vaughn Bean....Bean Imo was an ugly style guy and hard to watch "clingy" but Holyfield just carried it over Into HUGE unification fight.He was Looking Off with his crazy prediction that he would KO Lewis in the 3rdRespect To Lewis who took it to him and fought a superior gameplan,I thought He had broken Holyfield in half in the 5th....almost lifted him off the canvas .In kind though I had him definatly winning the rematch but what goes around......comes around?

    The funny thing is the round Holyfield predicted that he would beat Lewis in, he actually did hurt Lewis and did a lot of fighting in that round, but other than that he was dominated from technical point of view.

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

    Witter was the worst performance, he was out looking for a hatton fight but showed nothing in deserving one against bradley.

    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.

    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.

    That was really embarassing.
