How shot is Hatton?

4 or 5, hes not the same fighter, but I stil think he beats most of the guys in the top 10 at 140 except torres, physically hatton is not shot, its his puch resistance thats a problem....and I even have questions about it, because he got caught by a punch that could have put middleweights out.....Hatton should atleast give it one more go.

Dont understand this notion that the punch that sparked hatton could've sparked middleweights, how do we know ???? Pac has'nt done that to anyone else coming up has he in recent fights?? Hatton IS finished, and its been coming a while now.Malignaggi was the perfect opponent for hatton to look good against, with his powder puff punch.Imo hatton takes that punch a few year ago, and that is why he should seriously give it up

 

true, about paulie, but also think bradley is tailor made for hatton on the inside, and doesnt have big power....I want to see this fight, but about manny's punch...manny was full force on his lead foot with hatton wide open, and manny is extremely heavy handed....he was full throttle on that punch.....hatton's offense is still there...manny said so himself he felt hatton's strength.

 

If you watched the fight live ringside.You know he ain't gettin up from that punch. RIGHT ON THE CHIN..

 

he isnt as shot as people are making him out to be

 

exactly, hatton's offense is still very good at 140, it his defense that sucks, and he was never that good at that to begin with.

 

Hes not shot.

 

agree totaly:good

 

He's not shot, he just isn't very good when facing good competition. His career has been managed beautifully, because a guy like him should have over 5 losses easily

 

Whatever serves your purpose.

Same with any fighter really.

 

Yeah, but if his shotness factor was reduced by 0.3 IPs (Intangible Points), he would have reacted to that punch a millisecond faster thus avoiding it hitting him on the chin.

Reduce it by 5 IPs and he wins on a cut in round 5.

 

Not shot at all. Lost twice - to Floyd and Manny.

 

Sorry jeff, i have'nt got the same confidence in hatton now as you have mate.I'd take bradley to beat hatton slowly, although hes nothing great, he's a solid champion with good fundamentals, and at this stage hatton has'nt the fire in his belly to beat fighters like this anymore.Hattons old trainer graham said "he was'nt denting any of his sparring partners" in training after the lazcano fight
