    I think that Muhammed Ali whilst a great athlete who achieved great things in boxing , is not a great person. he did not live entirely within his own beliefs and shoud/could have shown more contrition for some of the cruelty he imposed on others whilst he was at his peak.

    IMO

    I believe Ricky Hatton was terribly overrated, and lived off his one win over an old rusty Tszyu. That win came about because he had a disgustingly biased hometown Ref who allowed him to wrestle more than he should have been allowed, and also let him use KT's balls as punching bags.

    An 'Old' 'Rusty' Tszyu - who was only 35! had had less fights than Hatton! (and let's not pretend he was in any wars) and had just come off what the critics called his best career victory a few months before - I wonder what he did in those few months to become so Old and Rusty

    .....Hatton was overrated by a lot of people I agree. He was a good world champion and the best 140 fighter for a period of time, but a 'Great' he was never going to be, BUT I just don't buy that Tszyu was Old and Shot story, Tszyu just ran into a hungrier fighter who was on his very best night and he lost.

    Tszyu beat Mitchell cos he caught him early, like they say the last thing a fighter loses is his power. It masked the fact he was getting passed it. He'd had 4 fights in 4 years. Yes he had not as many fights as Hatton pro but he had approx 300 am fights and had fought more good fighters by his 15th fight than Hatton did in his first 40. 18 title fights in 32 bouts is ridiculous.
    Also Hatton had the night of his life cos the ref allowed him to do anything he wanted, and he had a complete one sided crowd. Had he been fighting on nuetral ground with a neutral ref i think he may have lost. How could Tszyu hit a guy who was either wrestling him or punching him in the balls all night? If a ref does the right thing and stops the holding Hatton goes to water.

    Next to Tyson, Roberto Duran is the most overrated fighter in history...
