I'm sensing some anguish out there with Hatton's loss tonite, but I'm thinking my fellow CFer's out there need to look at the big picture. Perhaps because I primarily follow the heavyweight division, I'm looking at a glass that is three quarters full, and I'm not calling it empty. Sure, there will be losses like tonite, or probably on Feb.2 when its also likely that Peter may defeat Maskaev, but on the whole look at whats going on.
There are so many good white heavyweights now that we are now starting to see whites only title eliminators (Valuev vs. Liakachev) for the right to fight a white champion (assuming Chagaev wins over Skelton). In College basketball terms thats like Gonzaga, Duke, BYU and Santa Clara in the final four, or in football terms like Air Force taking on Colorado St in the BCS championship game.
In the other weight classes there seem to be new white champions emerging all the time, Bute, Pavlik etc. Whites will not win every fight, but lets keep looking at the big picture, because it is very, very pretty.
