What has Matthew Hatton done to deserve to fight at the top level?

hatton-matthew3423By Liam Santiago: There was once a time when only the very best could become a world champion. Every kid in a school playground could name the one champ of each division and titles such as inter-continental and commonwealth were unheard of. However, those days are long gone. Until recently, Matthew Hatton (37-4-1, 14ko’s) was in negotiations to fight Lovemore N’Dou for the IBO welterweight title.

Pacquiao-Hatton 24/7 Episode #2: Painfully Boring and a Waste of Time

pacquiao45343By Manuel Perez: Okay, I’ve now seen episode #2 of the Pacquiao-Hatton 24/7 HBO special and it’s got to be some of the most boring footage I’ve ever seen in my life. I thought the De La Hoya-Pacquiao 24/7 special was boring, but this one has got a special place all for itself. A lot of wasted video of scenery, time spent on a person living in Freddie Roach’s gym, useless footage of Ricky Hatton’s girlfriend, and little time spent on the actual fighters.
