MMMMMMMM was Hatton favourite against Tsyzu or Mayweather ????????????????????? thought not .
Hatton, Has always been courteous and polite when Ive met Him. I dont believe He has changed, but the circumstances have, plus the ground rules have. That happens with success.

Word for the Witter fan club, no-one bar yourselves cares that he avoided Witter and no-one thinks that his record is manufactured, Datsue on that point is correct, Hatton could fight the anti-Christ and Hatton would be the villain.
But those who sit on the fence are starting to slip away from the Hatton camp and thats a worrying trend. And IMO some of the people round him need to look at this closely! This isnt some Witter nuthuggers going on that they hate Hatton((their opionions on the subject mean very little), this is becoming a trend
It goes back to PBF, too many people pushing Hatton in too many directions!!
99% of British Boxing fans wanted to see Hatton Vs Witter not just the 'Witter Fan Club'. For the record I'm not particularly a Witter fan... I'm a British Boxing fan.
100% of boxing fans wanted to see Hatton vs Mayweather and they got it so whats your point ??
Chambers all you do is slag off British fighters, except your beloved Froch, and at times Witter, who by the way must be the most boring British fighter we have .

That's total drivel Mark, who else do I 'slag off' other than Hatton?
You've only been on the board for 2 weeks, which probably explains how you've come up with an assessment of me that is soooooooooo far off the mark, Mark. I've been posting on boxing forums and with some of the posters on here since 2001 and that's the first time that's been said. I've been accused of being over-patriotic a few times though

True, but Hatton rarely lives up to his "Mr Excitement" tag that he gives himself does he? Hattons game revolves around 'mauling' rather than boxing or brawling and to me mauling isn't exciting, also he had the nerve to moan when Mayweather beat him at his own game.

I've read you slagging off Calzaghe also, more than once, I might have only been registered on here for a month but whats that got to do with it ???

I've never said Hatton is really exciting but you cant deny you would pay to watch Hatton over Witter all day

I wouldn't pay to watch either of them, Froch or Calzaghe. I'd pay to see David Haye as he is exciting and there's always the chance of a stunning KO either in his favour or against.

I've give Calzaghe some stick over his choice of opponents in the past, but find me a poster who hasn't. Would you prefer JC-RJJ to JC-Pavlik? (which I presume is the slagging off you're referring to)
If you've only been in loose contact with me for a month or so, then you haven't had the time to make an accurate opinion of me.... as was proved when you said "Chambers all you do is slag off British fighters"
Relax, I've read posts with you saying Calzaghe should fight Froch over RJJ, with all due respect that was never going to happen and Froch wouldn't do anything for Calzaghe legacy, I'd rather see JC fight KP over RJJ but I think JC would beat the pair of them anyway .

Your completely wrong, he's Audley Harrison's biggest fan (outside Super HEavyweight, who actually probably is Audley Harrison)

He wasn't favourite against Cotto... and put up a hell of a fight against him having been dropped early and carrying a nasty cut throughout.
