There is simply no way in hell that anyone can justify to me that Saul Alvarez (Welterweight) vs Matthew Hatton (Welterweight) should have a fight sanctioned for the WBC LM Belt. Its plain ridiculous.

Its like some athletics board putting out a 100m championship and letting a couple of 200m or 400m race for it when clearly there are plenty of racers at 100m that have been overlooked.

I mean, MATTHEW HATTON, fighting for a Light Middleweight World Title, can anyone possibly take that seriosuly. This shit is just spoiling a sport I really really love. This should be Angulo vs Ryan Rhodes or Erislandy Lara vs vanes Martirosyan, as examples. Come on.

Eric, surely you don't believe yourself on this one. And for me, Pacquiao absolutely should not have been fighting for the LM title, no way, and neither should Margarito. That was a farce and just an organisation GIVING Pacquiao another title to stroke his ego.....

There is no point explaining sense and reasoning to erics44 mate, he just doesn't seem to grasp it.

Fair play to Hatton, I don't think he's done too badly to get himself to European level, and made reasonable work of those put in front of him, and stepped up his game since Ricky went out of the picture. No doubt that Alvarez is in a different league, but Hatton's worked hard over recent years and deserves a nice paycheque for a fight, which will most likely see him try hard but eventually will be found to be out of his depth.

As for Alvarez, it's clever management, but it's a world title in name only until he beats some real world class opposition.

i agree with the first bit, hatton is more deserving than some who get a shot, perhaps not as deserving as ryan rhodes but how often do things ever go the fair way

i dont agree with the second bit tho, it is a world title fight, both men deserve to be there and it will be more of a fight than most are saying

you cant start saying - well you arent a proper world champ coz you only fought him or you arent a proper world champ coz this happened - who ever wins is world champ and the man to beat

you crack me up

Sometimes i think your on crack


TheMacMagician, your spot on, neither of these deserves a shot at a title when neither have fought a contender within that division, how can that be sane Im taking nothing away from either fighter, but it's plain stupid !

[erics44]

i love the red highlighting, that must mean you reeeeeeaally mean it

they deserve it, perhaps not as much as some but they deserve it

just chill, sit back and enjoy it

There are so many people post on this forum claim to be boxing fans who just complain and moan about it all the time

Points for your mind don't seem to sink in too well so I thought I'd make it pretty clear to help.

Anyways, in answer to the Crolla Watson question, thats different for sure, two weeks short notice, how many people would be ready at that time and want it.

Ricky Burns: Super feather World Champ
Stephen Foster: Super Feath Euro Champ

Alex Arthur: No Idea wghere he's at
John Murray: Lightweight Euro Champ
Kevin Mitchell: This should have been him really if he wants back in the game
Martin Gethin: Really
Gary Buckland: New Super Feather Domestic Champ after smashing Sykes, got mauled last time round at lightweight.

I mean, Crolla was about the best available I'd say, other than Micthell, who strikes me as the kind of guy that, unless he's been in camp for a while, he holds weight.....

These points just can't be said about Hatton or Alvarez for a LM World Title shot. They just can't.

Some always fly the flag for the very best of what we should be watching and entertained by. SUPER SIX is doing that at the moment, or intended to do that, and Showtime are also doing it with Mares Vic, Perez and Agbeko at Bantom. Other divisions such as LM should be ashamed of themselves when compared with these such divisions of boxing.

This weekend i'll be mostly watching Donaire vs Montiel for a world title, and Mike Jones vs Soto Karass fighting it solid for rankings in a rematch.

Jamie Moore was mandatory for a shot at Martinez, Rhodes then smashed Moore, so should have got his shot. But didn't and was cast aside, probably where he'll stay. He mustn't want it as far as I'm concerned, otherwise he'd be making atleast a little noise, and he doesn't even do that..........

[fan johnny]

Boxing should call these soup fights pre-title bout eliminators and then call unified fights as semi-finals and make the winner a mandatory fight for Linear Title before declaring the winner World Champion.

There are plenty of people who enjoy sex, doesn't mean they won't moan like f*** if they were raped does it? Boxing fans want to see the best fight the best. We want competative fights and we want to see people earn their chance, not push in the queue. Anyone who advocates otherwise is stating that they are happy with the bullshit we're constantly fed from this sport. The actual boxing is what we're a fan of, it's the politics we're moaning about.
