    Not disagreeing, but using your rationale.....are you saying Taylor was better than Tszyu?

    Prime Taylor was better than old Tszyu, which is the version of Tszyu that Hatton fought.

    Sorry mate but that's a crock of shit! Why was Tszyu old?? He had had less fights than Hatton and had not been in any wars (apart from Philips) the critics rated his performances against Mitchell 7 months prior as one of his best - what happened in those 7 months from Tszyu looking fantastic, to him suddenly being old and shot

    When did I ever say Tszyu was shot?

    The fact is that Tsyzu was not at his peak when Hatton faced him, and the fight was significantly influenced by the referee allowing Hatton to maul Tszyu. I'm not knocking Hatton by pointing that out, I'm just stating facts.

    Tszyu was 35?? and had fought Tackie Leija and Mitchell, since his biggest win against Judah, so I don't see why he suddenly got 'Old'
    Was Lewis old against Grant, Tua & Botha, was Hopkins old against Vanderpool & Echols?

    I know Hatton's limitations and I have already said I think he would lose to MT, but I just don't see any eveidence of Tszyu being old (other of course from the fact he lost to Hatton - so I guess he must've been )

    Age is relative, not all 35 year old fighters are the same, especially fighters of different weight classes (heavier fighters generally peak later than smaller fighters) so comparing Tszyu to a 35 year old Lewis or 35 year old Hopkins is pointless. Any boxing fan knows this, I'm sure you know this as well.

    I can remember all those people tipping Hatton before the fight because they thought Tszyu was old
