He isn't and never has been in my eyes, but if you remember a few fights ago there were a number of people, even boxing experts, that thought Mayweather was boring.

The whole Hatton fight came about because Fatton said something about more action in 4 rounds than in Floyd's career.

Never really enjoyed watching Chris Byrd, although I can appreciate what he managed to do as a little man at heavyweight.

He could be a lot more interesting at LH.

No DG, Hatton is not a wrestler.

Wrestlers are supposed to jump off the turnbuckle, not jump head first into it.

Well, Junior has been pretty terrible viewing of late.

When he went through the phase of bashing people up for the Commonwealth/European title - then he was exciting.

You mean you can actually remember the last time he fought? Bloody hell, your memory is better than mine!

The last fight was exciting and brutal

Apart from the obvious Ruiz/Hopkins/Audley I have to agree that post the Oliveira fight Hatton has been pretty dire to watch - especially since he claims he is an exciting fighter. Hit and hold, hold and hit. But the annoying thing is he never did this excessively until he fought Tszyu. Ive always found Mayweather great to watch but then again I'm a bit of a connesieur in that I prefer good boxers as opposed to sluggers - though I enjoy a slugfest as much as anyone else!

For the first 6 rounds vs Urango I thought Hatton was exceptional. People seem to be forgetting the first half.

If we put it on the line, Joe Calzghe is one through nine...

But, its a 12 round fight, he should have been thrown out for that, worse than Ruiz.

Because of his laziness at times?

His jab is awesome, though.

His jab is Holmes-esque (Johnson was even trained by Larry to begin with). Shame he's got nothing else to go with it. No right hand at all. No hook. No urgency to do anything else but jab.
