Stop jumping on the Hatton bandwagon!!

You can’t call any fighter sht or a coward, and the one’s that do generally have never been in a ring. Its easy to talk a good fight from ringside. Boxing is the most unpredictable sport around, with so many variables, which is part of the reason we “all” love it so much. Collazo could go on to be a great fighter or disappear, but that will not take away from his performance on the night. Stop giving Hatton a hard time, after the Kosta win he could have milked it the way other new champions do, but he took on fights that were harder than they should be because he is a true fighter. One bad night so therefore he must be sht. Name me one great fighter in history who didn’t have an off night, and if judged by that wouldn’t be that great?
And as for the people talking about Hatton getting destroyed, or getting a gift decision, or Collazo being robbed :shakehead: I hope for your sake and for the future discussions on this board that you know the actual true couse of the fight, because otherwise it would really show up you boxing knowledge.

a very real posting :coolclick:

Boxing is indeed very unpredictable and there are hordes who judge the fighters by doing battle with a keyboard…I agree completely with your posting. Nicely put.

Excellent posting,well made points,CC.I admit Hatton was not impressive but when people say that he was exposed or similar nonsense,it is really agitating! They have no idea of the meaning of exposure in boxing contexts!

Amen! I bestow a cool click upon thee!!

agreed. hatton won and its not as though he embarrassed himself. the current anti hatton feeling seems to have the faint reek of hate…

barbaro · May 20, 2006, 7:32pm

if somebody is jumping on the hatton bandwagon that means they like him.

i think you need a new headline dude.

El_Gamo · May 20, 2006, 7:36pm

I thought that too but you can jump on to a hate bandwagon I guess.

Leve_Lad · May 20, 2006, 7:38pm

Very well put fella!! 8)

If i could cool click you i would :-[

Only time will tell which way Collazzo’s career goes but i have a suspicion he may become the most avoided fighter in the welters for some time! :o

skel1983 · May 20, 2006, 7:42pm

No it doesn’t it can be seen in a posative or negative light bandwagon, so he meant everyone stop jumping on the hate bandwagon!!!

barbaro · May 20, 2006, 7:48pm

so is there a bandwagon for everything

hate bandwagon
like bandwagon
like him somtimes bandwagon
hate him sometimes bandwagon
hes a turd bandwagon
hes too white bandwagon
hes not big enuff bandwagon
hes not american bandwagon
hes ugly bandwagon
hes good looking bandwagon
he holds too much bandwagon
he cant beat floyd bandwagon
he cant beat oscar bandwagon
he cant beat a prime kostya bandwagon
hes too fat bandwagon
he lost against collazio bandwagon
he won against collazio bandwagon
hes not a all time great bandwagon

who is driving all these bandwagons?

Saddo · May 20, 2006, 7:51pm

well im driving the good looking bandwagon 8)

skel1983 · May 20, 2006, 7:52pm

WTF??

it is quite simple since Hatton’s fight there has probably been the most threads created ever, to basically discredit, insult and make him out to be some fraud there has ever been and remember he actully won the fight!! So i agree with the Thread starter alot of people are jumping on the hate Hatton bandwagon.

Gandalf · May 20, 2006, 7:54pm

you have gone mad!

sanj16 · May 20, 2006, 7:56pm

Thanx for the CC’s guys, and now I feel that I have got it off my chest and that I wasn’t just imagining things ;D
PS-I meant the band wagon full of people waiting for an opportunity to tear down Hatton. Don’t mind people slateing fighters for their lifestyle and personality outside the ring (personally I think its the fighters own prob) but I never question any boxers true bravery about stepping in the ring!

Saddo · May 20, 2006, 7:56pm

my theory is Collazo has a big family… they were all let in at the post fight conference by don king ::** and acted like total dicks shouting and screaming by all accounts.

classless muppets

fact still remains Ricky Hatton 3 fight 3 champions beat 2 weight world champ and noooo amout of crying will change that ;D

sexydarin · May 20, 2006, 8:47pm

Hatton won the fight on judges score cards, but he didn’t win the fight. Collazo made him look really bad. hatton hardly landed a punch. And i like Hatton’s fighting style. He just sucked badly in this fight. If i were Hatton, I wouldn’t give Collazo a rematch. Collazo would kick his ass for a second time.

Saddo · May 20, 2006, 8:53pm

dont talk rubbish… what you people who are crying for the rematch seem to be forgetting is a 7 week prepared hatton won a close decision a fully prepared strong Hatton would do Collazo in good and proper

IMO Hatton shouldn’t waste his time… to prove something that anyone with alittle common sence would see as a landslide victory for Hatton ::**
