He's been exposed as a young improving fighter that lost to the longest reigning lw champ iirc who had a zillion 5 rounders and a guy that everyone said was the next champ.Also Nelson hurt him terribly before finishing.not everyone can be the greatest fighter ever.I guess every fighter has been exposed.

30 years old is not young, Kuma.

@nomad not if you have Dyslexia then it's just 03 then that means Thatch will peak as a prospect in the year 2043.

I meant as far as miles,he hasn't had many fights and is only now starting to fight good fighters.Considering all that and how things are these days with many of the top guys being 35+ its really not that old.When I think of fighters being old or young I don't think of just age.

this fighter was the most overhyped fighter in history. three straight losses. the last one to a guy who had not fought for years. no heart, no stamina. he could not even throw a haymaker in the third round. pathetic.

Thatch wasn't even the most overhyped welterweight who got finished in humiliating fashion on the card, never mind the most overhyped fighter ever.

I do feel like I owe the most sincere apologies. After one brief glimpse of the message above Mr. Choke's and seeing "no heart", "no stamina", "losses" and "pathetic" I quite obviously assumed Mr. Wolfman was talking about himself, not even briefly did I stop to consider that he was actually using the third person, since I am absolutely positive that that particular concept, like many others in regards to the Queen's language, are completely alien and often scary and confusing to him. It only took a second glance and my noticing his usage of the terminology "overhyped", since that word, as obviously being a derivative of the word "hype", is - quite humorously I might add - another one one would never (never, e-e-e-ever for those insightful chaps that would "catch my drift" so to speak) associate with him. Thus on the risk of repeating myself and as such boring my dear fight aficionado compatriots - my bad, my very, very bad indeed!

"Indeed!"
