Record Slating

[erics44]

If you really wanted to you could pick holes in any boxers record

One example ive read recently is a post that suggested Hatton only fought aging over the hill fighters and the post had a list of his victims who the poster seemed to think anyone could have beaten at that point in their carears

But are there any fighters with a solid record? when i say solid i dont neccessarily mean without loss just very hard to pick holes in

before the margarito fight i used to think Cotto had beaten anyone and everyone he had had the chance to fight, all at the top of their game. Im not saying the margarito fight changed my mind but Cotto hasnt really been the same since and doesnt really look top of the world as he once did

I don't understand what you mean there? You thought he had beaton everyone and anyone he had the chance to fight but after the Margo fight your not sure

What do you mean you thought he could beat anyone in and around the weight class at world level or what? Cotto is clearly a different fighter sine that defeat for sure.

i just mean before the fight i thought he was fuckin fantastic, apart from a few wobbles here and there he had done everything asked with style - so in tune with the thread, it would be difficult to pick holes in his record

since the fight he doesnt seem to have performed anywhere near the level he did before and his record is a bit more "tarnished"

get me now?

Mate what do you expect in reality? You used Hatton as an example, now persoally I think Hattons record is scrutinized a lot more because in his early career he did get a lot of fighters from Warren to make him look a lot better than he was, but Hatton had a great career and would give 90% of fighters a great fight.

The Cotto statement I see what your saying, I think Cotto is/was a world class fighter who was effected physically and mentally by the Margo fight and is not the same fighter still beats alot of world class fighters in and around 147, his record has been solid through out his career imo.

dude you are right

i worded the thread all wrong and gave all the negativeness the chance to jump on the band waggon

and maybe i was a little harsh on cotto

I have said this so many times before about Hatton V Tszyu, but here goes again

Facts

1.) 35 is not old!!
2.) Been relatively inactive, does not make you 'Shot'
3.) His last fight was one of his best, i.e KOing Mitchell, in a fight he was hardly hit. So what happened in between that fight and the Hatton fight to make Tszyu shot?
4.) Tszyu had not been in any wars! (Tough fight against Philips)
5.) Tszyu had had less fights than Hatton

He just couldn't handle Hatton's style or workrate - Simples
