    Who wins this matchup? People may say Hatton isn't big enough, but Hatton came into the ring at 158 lbs against Collazo and he weighed in at 147 lbs.

    Margarito is too big and too strong

    Margarito will do to Hatton ... what Hatton did to Jose Luis Castillo

    Hatton has no chance.

    Margo stops him late in a war

    Hatton was massively more talented. Off the booze and booger-sugar he would break down Margarito and finish him over the stretch.

    Margarito would bludgeon Hatton.

    None. Unless it's in Manchester with Parriss as the ref. Come to think of it, he STILL would stand no chance.

    The thought of Hatton stopping Margarito is comical. Hatton's not Mosley. This guy couldn't stop Ben Tackie, Juan Lazcano, Juan Urango, and a shot Vince Philips, but somehow he's gonna stop Margarito?

    Hatton would be unable to hurt Margarto, while Margarito would have a left uppercut field day on Hatton.

    Surely you would place Manny at least one order of magnitude higher than Hatton in terms of skill.
    So that's an apples to oranges comparison.

    Margo is too big for Hatton. With cement gloves, KO5. Without cement, a late round TKO.

    Hatton was a boderline generational talent ruined by partying. If I must factor in the latter, maybe I shade toward Margarito but I see a prime Hatton beating that body to a pulp, getting off first, and wearing him down the stretch.

    Perhaps in your alternate reality he did.

    In the real world, Margarito lasted the distance.

    On the planet you live on, did Hatton go 12 with Pac?

    I think I've set the record straight here.

    Carry on.
