I pick Hatton, here's why. He looked much more competitive vs Floyd, he beat Tszou (which Gatti was never able to do) Also I can't imagine Hatton in his prime losing to jorneymen Ivan Robinson and Micky Ward
For me it's the Tszyu win that seals the deal for me, even though Tszyu was past his best, it was still a better win than any of Gatti's wins. Both were entertaining fights, particularly Gatti, but I wouldn't call either of them elite top echelon fighters.
Hatton was the better fighter, at least at 140 lbs. I see him outworking a game Gatti over 12 rounds.
True. I like Gatti and his fights were extremely entertaining, but he wasn't competitive against A level fighters at all. And his fights vs B and B- leve opponents vere highly competitive. Hatton never had A level skills but he was better still.
I really don't see hatton being able to put gatti away. Hatton on points. I see the possibility of a flash ko from gatti as well
Hatton was the better fighter. Gatti was a very entertaining fighter but no matter how he fights I can't see him beating Hatton who simply was a level above.
Entertaining while it lasted and possibly a distance fight but like has been said Hatton a level above Gatti.
