Would like to see him more like A Young Tyson style wise.

His head movement has improved a hell of a lot in the past few years although i admit it was back to the old ways on saturday night. He has also improved a lot by parrying a lot of shots.
Its a shame he had a bad day at the office on saturday as he was improving defensively upto then and was keeping all his critics at bay. Now Its like he has smashed open a beehive and they are everywhere trying to swarm him.
Give the guy a break he had a bad day, everyone does at somepoint. He still beat a world champion and no matter how much he looked like losing on sat night and how much everyone thinks he nearly got knocked out in the last. The FACTS remain that he won and if you score the fight on a round to round basis then Hatton came out on top. Simple.
Another FACT though is he needs to brush that performance off and get back to basics in the gym before his next fight. Hopefully it has brought him back down to earth.
