Hatton: Listen, Frank, can you deliver or can’t you?

[MightyWarrior]

Yeah I've no interest in seeing Spaddy come over here either.

The fight I'd love to see, and it'd be easy to make, is Hatton v Vivian Harris.
Harris would be a slight favorite I reckon, but Hatton is defintely in with a shout - and on that basis FW should make the fight - that would keep EVERYONE happy.

The story was actually run by the news of the world, and simply 'lifted' by the Sun, pretty piss poor journalism if you ask me, trying to pass off second hand knowledge as a scoop.

I thought the News of the World and the sun were the same paper.

[jamesmcdonnell]

It is, but it's still a lack of professional courtesy to simply lift someone's story and pass it off as your own without asking them permission, or crediting the original story.

Story was actually in the Sunday Sport first. My mate was in the place for a mag where the interview took place last week and Lilis did the interview. the mail and sun just lifted it.

Steve is the best tabloid boxing reporter in my opinion. I'd love to have seen the left hook Jose Sulaiman slung at him after Steve called him him "corrupt!" The truth clearly hurt.

[J]

anyone is better than hart.

[jamesmcdonnell]

That must have been hilarious. Sulaiman looks like the penguin, I think I would have just put my foot up his fat arse if he swung anything at me.

[J]

f*ck ueah anyone takes a swing no matter who they are they get it. dont carl, mind you thsat attitude has seen me on the wrong end of a shoeing sometimes

[jamesmcdonnell]

Well I reckon that Sulaiman is a pretty safe bet, he's knee high to a grasshopper.

[J]

funny you should say that the worst kicking i ever had was off someone who was bout 5.4-6 just bout high enough to butt my chin . I was so pissed I could hardly walk though tequila...not good.
as they say always the (little) quiet ones...... p.s i thoroughly deserved it and didnt even fight back Ill tell you the story on friday had to take a week off work bloke did a number haha....gods honest truth I needed to sort myself out cos by my own admission was being a prize cock but at 23 with alcohol you tend to be that way sometimes I gues
I very rarely drink spirits anymore (poland aside when in rome and all that) and even that I regretted............


for about 3 days.

[jamesmcdonnell]

Fortunately I've not been kicked in myself, not sure why as I ain't all that hard and I've got a big mouth, think I've always just erred on the side of caution enough to avoid anyone really hard kicking the shite out of me.

There's always friday night though....

[J]

ill bring my gloves

[jamesmcdonnell]

Well I won't be butting your chin anyway, not unless your Robert Wadlow.

[J]

hung like maybe ...nah mate i havent given anyone concernt oto be honest earned my lesson that night i can assure you got the marsbars to prove it

[jamesmcdonnell]

Yeah, I heard Robert Wadlow had an infeasibly small penis for a big bloke..

Mars bars, that must have been some twatting you got there..

[J]

yeah it was but not really that noticable slight hole in chin and small scar on lip not that impressive but at the time it was.
been 8 yrs since mate.
lesson well learned.

I'd love to have seen the left hook Jose Sulaiman slung at him after Steve called him him "corrupt!"

If I remember correctly, it was shown a couple of days after the Chi-Brodie fight. Wouldn't really call it a hook, more of a farty jab/grandad punch

[theguru]

Bennie are u still in denial?
Do u work for sports network?
Are u on the payroll?

Get with the program...it seems after tonights performance Mr WITTER is the real deal.
WBU TITLE or British Commonwealth and European somehow the WBU title pales in comparison

[drizziedrag]

im new to this board and i haven't seen hatton fight but i hear he's like a dorin and i'm not sure if anyone of you watched the spaddy v dorin fight but spaddy's corner had him tryin to go toe to toe with dorin....Paul wanted to prove a point that he has the heart and he can take punches as well as deliver him. Even though Dorin probably had the best of him. Paul doesn't knock people out he's a Boxer not a Slugger he wins on points makes people miss. I wouldn't count out Paul that easily. Just my opinion. Probably Biased as well seeing im' from Pittsburgh

[kevo]

But how would Spaddy fare when going toe to toe with a natural 140 pounder? It's a lot different slugging away with a lightweight, especially with a lightweight who's not a particularly hard puncher.

[J]

hatton ko round 9

[drizziedrag]

Paul was sucking weight heavily to stay at 135.....i think he's more a natural 140 pounder

[drizziedrag]

plus i'm sure Paul would not attempt to go the same route they did with dorin and try to go toe to toe with hatton. He'll go back to his slick southpaw style

[jamesmcdonnell]

Hatton is not easily outboxed unless you have a serious dig. Spadafora was never than impressive in the first place, and certainly wasn't a big puncher.
