Great ending. Not his best, but still great!

As you say, extremely brave to take Taylor in his own back yard - not many boxers will do that, especially when they don't need to.

Look forward to the next installment!

Might have known only John would reply, not many people of culture on this website

Next installment will be great, I just pray he gets a big fight at The CG so i can waste a months wages on ringside tickets

Let's not forget he pretty much hand picked his own opponents and didn't fight a top fighter in their prime, but you can't argue with the record. He'll be known as a great in Britain, but that's about it.



Totally Agree, Roy Jones Jr, wanted to fight joe a while back (yes in his prime) Joe's answer. No. Fights him towards the end of his boxing carrer and its all ''what a class act'' ''amazing boxer'' Dont get me wrong he's a good boxer, but things he could of done to make him great.

Hatton floored in the 2nd round ! Not good, especially when you consider it was in his favoured weight division where he had never lost.

I expect him to retire now. He will go down as a British legend, just sadly could not make the step up to "hall of fame" level.

I can't wait for the Mayweather vs Pacman fight, it will be the fight of the century

Does anyone mind if the thread title is changed to a general boxing thread?

Yeah took him a while to come around as well, he was outclassed from the first punch. The first knock down was a mix of a good punch and off balance but not taking anything away from pacman he was excellent. I agree with sporting mayweather vs pacman will be an amazing fight with imo mayweather winning on points.

Hatton to retire...

i agree with u both, i just don't think hatton has the ability to mix with the best. His guard was far to low and he was walking into punches a very poor way of boxing. I dont think Hatton should retire tho just needs to work on his technical side!!
iff mayweather does come against pacman i think it'll be a great fight but for me mayweather will be 2 strong....i'm shore a good argument could be made against that tho!
