I make no qualms about being a massive hatton fan and unlike the jonny come latelys was following ricky right from his intercontinental days though please dont accuse me of having blind faith...

My point was that it was no coincidence ricky struggled at 147 as the 2 times he was there he was up against 2 of his toughest opponents (tszyu apart)

Not trying to start an argument here am merely debating an interesting topic with a fellow knowlegable fight fan.

You claimed tszyu legacy was tarnished by getting beat by the best 140 pounder for a good 3 years now.

Im just interested to know why
Well firstly I didn't bash Hatton. As mentioned before reread the topic and reread what I posted. Tszyu's legacy was tarnished by Hatton because that ended up being his defining moment in boxing history, he will be always remembered as losing to Hatton. It is in part the fault of Kostya himself, because instead of getting back up and continuing his career he hung up the gloves. There were plenty of other 140 lbers he could have beat, but he instead chose to end his career.

aah right

well then i retract my previous statement

took the title of the thread and your original statement and put two and two together!!
