Wow a lot of moans and whinges on this thread.

Those of you who are bleating on, to whom are your whines directed exactly? And for what reason?

Aside from the usual jokes about Matthew Hatton being shit I don't really see any problem with this fight.

You can't seriously say that Hatton is a joke choice of opponent for Alvarez. He isn't. Alvarez is only 20 years old.

I agree he's gifted and likely to be several classes above Hatton but he's only 20.

At that time in his career the great Floyd Mayweather was fighting the 12-15-1 Tony Duran who had gone 10 fights without a win before meeting Floyd and went a further 6 without winning after.

Hatton as dull and ugly as he maybe is still the legitimate European Champion, is unbeaten in 9 and was robbed by the judges of a win against Lovemore N'dou who took Alvarez the full 12 round distance last time out.

Ok, it's for a vacant belt, but again so what? Are you blaming Oscar for negotioating the best possible deal for his hot prospect fighter?

And why is such a travesty that these fight for a vacant belt? Alvarez is one of boxing's hottest young prospects, and Hatton as much as he bores me keeps on winning fights, has defended his European belt twice and is rated number 5 in the world by both the WBA and WBC.

So both are world ranked, neither has lost in 10 fights, and Alvarez is unbeaten. The title is vacant and we already know you cunts don't think guys like Pacquiao, Margarito or Mosely should be allowed to fight for these belts either, so who can fight for them?

You're all idiots.
