    Hatton by late TKO.

    He may be slated to death on here but anyone with half a brain knows a prime Hatton was a class above.

    R.I.P Gatti

    Uh yea, whenever he stepped up to the elite class, he got ko'd.

    He was a damn good, world class B+ fighter at his best, with a C+ chin (once he mixed it up with guys a little bit bigger than his early career). Mix that with Gatti's B+ power in his left, mixed with his outrageous will, then you have alot of ways this fight could play out.

    Dont get it twisted, I don't think Gatti was the overall boxer Hatton was.

    Great fight. Gatti had the better boxing skills, but usually when fighting a brawler, he would brawl and forget about defense. I think Gatti would start off weel, but start to fight Hattons fight. I think Hatton wins a very close decision in the UK, and Gatti wins a close dec. in the US or Canada.
     
  4. Gatti would have run him down like a freight train. Too big, too strong.

    Sooo I'm saying there is NOTHING wrong with being KO'd by the worlds best P4P fighters. He wasn't KO'd by just anyone. And even though many feel he lost the fight with Collazo, this is the same Collazo who many also argue beat Berto

    I think Hatton would outpoint him, he couldn't stop him. This would be a good fight with Arturo having a realistic chance of winning it.

    Yeah, against the two best fighters of the generation.

    Gatti got owned twice by the likes of Ivan Robinson, and smacked around by Manfredy.:lol::lol::lol:

    Think before you post next time.

    Hatton was a better fighter then bum ass Gatti, period.

    Another mismatch.

    Prime Hatton was an elite fighter, and a level above the likes of Gatti and Katsidis.
