I was never fooled but he fought at a higher level than witter could dream of and won some great fights.
Mayweather and pacquiao were just too good and a step too far but he still beat some quality boxers and "ducked" no-one!!
Witter was a poor version of naseem hamed all mouth,awkward and the odd decent few punches but like him found out very easily.

To be fair Nas could have been an all-time great if he'd have had the hunger, and heart for boxing. His power at the weight was unbeliveable at times.

He had no plan B though mate when he stepped up in class he looked clueless and arrogant.
When he was banging people out he was punching from all angles and built his pressure but when he fought barrera who had a good chin and solid defence and could also pack a punch he loojked way out of his depth ala hatton against pacquiao and mayweather.

Hamed was a genius, who had lost the edge by the time he fought Barrera, I would put Hamed up there with the very best the UK have ever had.

Hattons bubble burst way before the Mayweather fight, he lost his previous two (although got them on points - money talks in the States) having been battered by Urango who gave Hatton a nightmare.

I also gave Collazo the decision but again politics talk.

You see,you say hattons path was hand picked hamed was fighting has beens and never will be's for years.
He had some great skill and power no doubting it but when he fought barrera both were deemed in their prime but hamed got caught up in his own hype and his handlers blowing wind up his #rse!
The fights with collazo and urango are your opinion and you should know how hard it is for an "out-sider" to get a decision state side.

Just a side note put freddy roach in hattons corner and he'd be looking forward to another mayweather show-down imo.

Nas was never a World Class Boxer he was another one who believed his own hype and when he came up against an Elite fighter that was the beginning of the end...
