    Your thoughts?

    I think Hatton has the single best win, but in terms of depth Hamed my take this overall.

    Hamed, no question.

    I presume you are meaning Kosta

    He was done.


    Hamed

    Even.

    Hatton's beaten better names, Hamed fought better depth of competition. I don't see Urango, Collazo, Malignaggi as a good second tier of opposition, and the Tszyu's and Castillo's have too many question marks over them to compensate for Hamed's better depth. So I call it even.

    Better fighter is Hamed. I don't believe Hamed would have been so brutally outclassed against Pacquiao.

    Kostya is clearly better than anything on Naz's resume, but Hatton's after the TOP 3 wins falls off a cliff, whereas Naz has a pretty solid looking TOP 10 names.

    Hatton taking on the best, beats Naz though, no doubt.


    Hatton had a go twice.

    Hatton took on the best twice, and got brutally KO'd twice.

    Hamed took on the best once, lost on points and retired.

    I'd call that about even :lol:

    Hamed as he had the better depth and also moved up a weight and became a force at the next weight instead of just a cameo like Hatton at WW

    Hamed is by miles the more talented however.

    Tszyu was a great win as Tszyu was past it but was still a really goof fighter and was the best at the weight bar maybe Mayweather i cant remmeber if he was still at LWW in 2005

    didnt hatton win FIghter of the year in 05 or 06 did Naz ever win that

    People often forget that Hamed took the Robinson fight on short notice, moving up in weight, and schooled the fella before knocking him out, great performance that was.

    Dunno, all I know is I couldn't wait to see the limey ***** get starched but, alas, he didn't even possess the heart to continue fighting after he tasted the agony of defeat. A true pseudo-champion and just an overall scumbag of a person to boot, imo. I've not seen anything that detestable come out of Britain since Culture Club.
