Hatton will fight again it seems.

[THE THIRD MAN]

Back when all he was doing was brawling some folks were saying how he had real boxing skills and had used them in the past ...then he planned to start using them again, but it didn't ever work. let's just face it. Hatton's got lots of heart and energy but has never been and will never be a complete fighter. Not to dis him. Nice guy, glad he's a boxer - he's been good for the sport. Just not great.

He may have lost to Pac because of a bad game plan, but he lost to Floyd because he didn't have anything but a puncher's prayer against him.

Hard to believe he beat Kostya. That's the only puzzling thing. He beat Kostya. Incredible. But he did it.

Hmmm.

Remember Hatton had Kostya using his balls as earrings in that fight!

kostya is overrated. that style would've never lasted him past his physical prime.

And what style is that? Knocking most of his opponents out? A 13 Year Professional career with just 2 losses, and a World Champion for 10 years? If KT is overrated then Ricky Hatton is a walking advert for skinny milk?

Kostya is/was not overrated. If anything he is underrated.

Koysta Tzyu was extremely underrated. I however stand by my assertion that Kevin Rooney would have been the perfect trainer for Hatton

he wouldn't have had his rib cages battered by Hatton if he had better grasp of technique. kostya's a good fighter sure... excellent timing and sense of distance. but that outdated Euro stance with the left hand extended mmm.

True. But Kostya didn't blame his loss on that, so I guess I won't either.
