Saul Alvarez vs Matthew Hatton for the WBC Light Middleweight title

[erics44]

It's strange that the majority of the boxing public are outraged that Matthew Hatton has a world title fight at light middleweight but a few on here don't seem to have a problem with it. The problem isn't, as i've said, with Alvarez.

Bilboa is obviously taking over in my argument on this one, which I am a little upset about mind, i like a good debate as you know and i was in the thick of things before, now i seem to be an outsider in my own barrel of fun

anyway, just to make a point on this point, the bit ive bolded isnt really true

This should be Ryan Rhodes opportunity for the title not Hatton who has never fought a class fighter at this weight. It is who you know, that has got him this opportunity.

If he surname wasn't Hatton, he wouldn't be a European champion. Nor fighting in Vegas. FACT*.

But is that so bad though? Effectively what you are saying is that because of who his brother is Hatton is more interesting to the average fight fan than Ryan Rhodes, and so there for gets an opportunity that Ryan didn't.

That's good right? Ok not for Ryan Rhodes, but good that fightfans get to see who they want to fight.

Nepotism is rife in boxing. Chavez Jr, Ronald Hearns, McGirt Jr, Bobby Pacquaio.....none of these guys would have careers if it wasn't for their father's or siblings.

But thanks to their more successful relations these guys get to put food on their families tables. It's a wonderful thing.
