    What's you call gentlemen? Before anyone snorts at this matchup, remember, Hatton DID fight two of the best of his time (and lost) so it's a legit hypothetical match.

    Yes...I think he'd stop Ricky with a right uppercut in 3 or 4.

    Ricky Hatton was made for someone like Jose Napoles.

    - Chuck Johnston

    Ridiculous? Did you think it was ridiculous when Ricky fought Mayweather and Pacquiao?

    Napoles would wipe his ass with Hatton.

    Next thread.

    Cmon breh.

    Napoles knocks out Hatton quite easily, his counter punching would be a nightmare for Hatton

    Of course, but it's a legit "what if" bout, 'cause Hatton fought two of the best of his day. Ricky possibly could have earned the shot at Napoles if he was back in Mantequilla's day. These type matches aren't predicated on 20/20 hindsight.

    As much as i liked the Younger Driven Ricky Hatton i think Jose is much to versatile, his Movement His Boxing Ability, His Combination Punching, it all spells a painful night for Ricky in my opinion, If Jose was in the mood he was for Adolph Pruitt notwithstanding the Injury stoppage, Ricky would be painfully picked apart, Think of Collarzo last round, But with precision and power, I tend to think that Jose would thread through a left hook to the body, like the beautiful shot that took out Jean Jossilin, I think Jose is too classy a Bastion to be Stormed by a pumped up Jr Welter.
