    I scanned the sport section of my Daily Mirror today and came across a small picture of Hatton so i read the tiny article. In it, it described Jose Luis Castillo as a 'wuss' because he went down from Hattons viscious body shot and branded the possible Malignaggi-Hatton fight a no-risker for The Hitman. I also recall several over mistakes I have been infuriated by over the years. I remeber Calzaghe being described as one of the best british middleweights ever even though he campaigns at 168 and I also recall Gati being described as a quick, boxing slickster when he is more of a brave, heart-filled warrior. Finally, when Jermaine Taylor beat Hopkins for the first time in a fight which was very close, Taylor was described as 'boxing masterfully'.

    I do enjoy cloums written by people who know boxing. Barry Mcguigan (Daily Mirror, i think) and Frank Warren's (News of the world) columns are always a good read (despite the latters always have a tendency to be biast towards his own fighters). But sometimes the coverage is a disgrace.

    Anyone else remember any completely of the mark statements in newspapers from around the world or Is also made angry by this.
    Coverage is wank normally.....

    Even so called experts like Barry McGuigan and Colin Hart seem to be a bit clueless at times. I was gobsmacked that nobody on Setanta could remember Collazo's name. Sometimes feels like they gather all the sports writers and whoever draws the short straw has to report on boxing.

    It always seems like they are trying to appeal to the average sports fans rather than the actual boxing fans

    oh the sun is the funniest by far
    They get more interested in the dodgy shit party Hatton has after and what Roony will be wearin than what happened in the fight
    and either sun or notw are still saying Castillo fought for no money
    Frank Warren oh come on you guys know he'sfantastic
    best thing that eva happended to boxin
