    Assuming this fight was NOT in England, who do you see winning this fight?

    RIP Gatti, but he'd have been beaten from pillar to post and eventually knocked out.

    Gatti would have shattered Hatton's fragile Glass Jaw.

    If Gatti could stay outside and box, I think he had enough power to hurt hatton and cut him up. Would be an excellent fight, as long as Gatti could stay out of the clinches and up on his toes.

    I feel hatton would stop him late. Got a feeling would be an all time classic with both in their primes. Was so close to being made as well

    All-time war if these two had fought.

    What a War.
    But Hatton's strength would have pulled him thru.
    I'm not counting out Gatti either.

    Hatton late TKO or KO or a bloody UD

    Hatton had no Chin. None. Now, if the fight is in the UK with Dave Parris as the referee then yes I agree Hatton would win the fight.

    I initially voted Gatti by late ko/tko, but thinking more into it maybe Hatton would have been too strong and relentless in his prime, but how Gatti fought Micky Ward is why i thought he could have maybe beat Hatton, would people here regard Hatton a harder fight for Gatti than Ward? Im a bit stumped i suppose, would have been an epic fight though, two tough ****ers in their respective primes.
