  2. Now there's a phrase you don't get to use too often. You should frame this post.

    Hatton was just better, anyone who can't see that really doesn't know boxing.

    Hatton was an elite fighter. Gatti NEVER was. Hatton beats the **** outta him at any weight.

    the fight will be more competitive at 140. Gatti's heart vs Ricky's offence would be war prime4prime. Hatton stops him late though.

    Can see Hatton stopping Gatti on bodyshots, Gatti struggled to hold onto some of Ward's body punches in their fight, also Gatti got wide and square and left himself open when you pressured him.

    I think Gatti punches harder, both have suspect chins, Gatti was tough to outslug, but easy to outbox. Close fight, edge to Gatti with his power.

    Hatton was better in his prime at 140.

    Gatti did not have the solid chin a lot of people think, not that he was chinny, he had lots of heart to be able to overcome most of his KD's.

    I would not categorize either as chinny but i can see why he said that.

    Gatti was a C+ level fighter, possibly a B- at his best. Hatton was an A- level fighter.

    B+ imo, A is too high and is reserved for elite imo, A- is Calzaghe, A+ the likes of Jones, Mayweather, Whitaker, Hopkins.
