This fight is coming up this saturday. Tszyu is the favorite because he has the size and speed. However this could be his toughest competition yet. Hatton is only 26 and is undefeated. Both of these guys are tops in the welterweight devision. I like hatton but i think Tszyu will win he has the the experiance. The winner of this fight will most likely fight Mayweather by the end of the year.

I'm pumped up for this fight...Ricky Hatton is by far in the best shape of his life...I saw the training pics of him on a boxing site and he is ripped....

I am torn on this fight.I like both guys but I think I
will root for Hatton since he is the underdog.Either
way,they are both champs in my book.

good news ricky hatton ko'd Tszyu in the 11 the round. I am glad as much as i like tszyu in am a bigger fan of Hatton. It was a good fight for both fighter but hatton took over in the late rounds. I think next for hatton will be putting floyd amyweather in his place.

Hatton was undefeated for a reason.This kid is so fun
to watch and is very dangerous.His non stop pressure
of Kostya was incredible.Hatton is in incredible shape
and never seems to get tired.He was coming forward the
whole fight.Props to the new champ!

Was this a fight between white men, or an Asian and a white man?

I'm especially curious considering the ongoing debate in the Happy Hour forum as to what constitutes "white."

Kostya is considered "mostly white"

Kostya Tszyu's grand-father on his father's side was Asian.You can see some Asian in Kostya's father,next to nothing in Kostya himself and his kids look totally white.As I've said before as far as I'm concerned,Kostya is white.Now then on to the fight.A bit of an upset,don't ya think? What a well-conditioned athlete Hatton is.He appears that he can keep up that buzzsaw style for twelve rounds.I don't think Kostya hurt him at all,which is surprising.His style bodes well for an eventual meeting with big-mouth Mayweather.If he can crowd him and keep the pressure on he could come out on top.Problem is the old cut bugaboo.I can see that playing a factor in the fight just as it probably will in Mayweather's fight with Gatti.

Hatton is P4P one of the best fighters in the world.He seems to be a throw back to the great fighters of the past like Mickey Walker,Tony Zale,Lou Ambers and Rocky Graziano.I like to see these young White males do well in all sports and wipe the grin off Max Kellerman's face.

Wipe the grin off Max Kellerman's face.Ha.ha.ha.I like
that.I agree that he is very talented.Here we have a
undefeated fighter with speed,stamina,power and the
charisma.He has a website which is pretty cool.From
what I here,Hatton will be fighting in the US alot now
and on HBO too.We can never have too many fighters to
root for.Alot of minority americans are not going to
like all of these europeans in boxing but if you ask me,
it is a nice change of pace.It's about time!!
