I'm somewhere between the two myself tbh

completely spot on

I like to think the tszyu he fought in manchester was indeed the hard hitting russian technician who was almost unmovable at the weight. Hatton that night gave britain one of its finest sporting succeses not in the fact he became a world champ but in the manner he had done it in.

The immidiate fight after that he came up against a very average carlos maussa who he blew away but then when america came calling and particularly his decision to move up the weights he found his physical superiority over opponents was no longer their and had to rely on his technical prowess to get through second tier fighters.

The hatton that fought pacquiao was a complete shell of the guy that beat tszyu back in 2005. Thats not an excuse but a common fact
