    Maybe, who knows. Might be the best of the three also. I'm not ready to write him off just because the Paulie fight. And in Broner's defense, Crawford has yet to destroy anybody as good as Demarco.

    Why, Did Wlad or Hatton tell Crawford to stink the place out?

    No because they are arguably the two most boring highly successful fighters of the last 10 years

    yes, he could carry the rounds on looks alone. Especially if that crazy female judge is still around. 12 rounds of staring at Speckled's ginger minge and she had the fucking thing a draw. Can Ricky plant some henna in that shaved mop of his?

    Comparing Hatton to wlad is really beyond the pale. By which I mean the comparison is a step too far, not that Hatton is beyond pale, which he admittedly also is. Getting in before Irish pounces on that.

    I think you're confused. We are talking about Crawford.

    pleeease... besides, there wasn't any comparison being made... If I say "Oranges and Strawberries are two of the most delicious fruits", I'm not comparing them, I'm simply listing them

    Dude was a cagefighting nancy... Humping away, hold and hit, hold and hit... One of the most unwatchable fighters ever... Got away with murder

    I'm talking about you saying the guy stunk the joint out... I'm curious how a fan of wald and hatton reconciles that opinion with being a fan of wald and hatton

    seems pretty easy to follow

    Jesus. They BECAME boring. And Hatton didn't really finish well. He had one hurrah in around 4 years.

    Agreed. Hatton's boringness is very overrated. He held too much post Tszyu but was still a fairly action packed fighter. And the pre Tszyu Hatton was very good to watch, speedy pressure fighter with good footwork and bodypunching, not a huge amount of holding.

    Hatton and Wlad had one thing in common, apart from paleness, they both started their careers as raw, mistake prone fighters who drew critical acclaim for what they did, at that time. Well Hatton did anyways.

    Disagree with MWS.......Hatton was at the holding BS before his shocking stoppages. Urango, for example.

    Wlad decided to listen to Ben E King after the Brewster and Sanders setbacks, and when a HOF trainer told him to.

    Hatton's mauling was annoying but it was more like Tyson's holding (which always seems to go unmentioned) - he'd leap in to cover distance in his attacks then get tangled up, sometimes as a defensive measure sometimes by accident. His holding almost always followed a genuine attack though.

    That doesn't excuse it (or the shitty reffing that constantly said 'break' rather than 'fight your way out')....but it makes it qualititatively different to wald pussy's. wald the most estrogen fueled bitch fighter in boxing history now

    Disagree. In the Urango fight he was holding purely as a defense mechanism, whenever Urango tried to initiate an attack. Fuck Hatton.

    It says something that Paulie considers Broner the worst out of all the guys to have beaten him. Usually fighters will tend to big up the fighter they looked best against, which would clearly be Broner.

    Was he hurt? All fighters hold when they're hurt, it happens. Another difference with Hatton and wald - if the ref let him (ie if there was a fucking semi-competent ref, god damn it) Hatton often fought out of clinches. wald only ever uses them as a ploy to escape fighting. Permissible if you're hurt - unforgivably fucking gay when you're dominating a fight

    He wasn't hurt, I could understand it if he was hurt, he won practically every round but he was holding constantly.

    agREED

    His offense for any fight against someone mildly dangerous consisted of fucking LITERAL latching onto his opponent and then swatting away with his free hand

    How could he be hurt if every time the other guy tries to FIGHT, he starts clinging to him and humping???

    Seriously, you can not give Hatton a pass

    He was fucking eye cancer

    He was bad to watch as well but like Hut pointed out Hatton at least tried to fight inside most of the time. It wasn't just about clutching and waiting for the ref to break it up. A heavyweight version of Hatton would cause more problems for Wlad than most of the guys he's fought.
