Where abouts would The Hitman have rated all time if he had an iron chin?

    The Hitman in question of course is Ricky Hatton.

    Hatton had two shots at the title of pound for pound number 1 and in his first attempt he was unlucky to be KO'd by Cortez and was cruising to a UD in his second before a lucky hail mary landed on his jaw.

    If it wasn't for these apparent fragility in The Hitman's mandible, where would he rank on your all time list.

    Ricky's chin. Was solid

    Floyd hit him with 100 clean right hands

    Floyd has tissue paper for hands but still that's gotta add up

    The shot PAC landed would've dropped an elephant

    Ricky's style was never going to be goo de ought against these guys

    Hatton is one of the most overrated fighters of all times. Belongs in the trashcan of history along with his fans.

    If you think his fans was wrong please vote in the poll and let them know how many Ricky Hatton's there actually are.

    Hatton had the best chin known to man. He slipped against Mayweather and Pac got a lucky punch :stir

    One of the most underrated boxers ever — especially by casual boxing fans.

    Lineal at 140.
    Stoppage wins over Tszyu and Castillo
    Undefeated for 43 fights.

    First ballot HOFer.

    I suppose if he had hagglers chin
    Hearns jab
    Durans aggressive boxing
    Leonard's heart and flurries
    Benitez head movement
    Sweet peas punch avoidance
    James tones pull counter into a straight rights
    Young bhops inside game
    Marquez pwer of recovery


    He would STILL LOSE to mayweather because he would still have dicky hattons brain
