Aaron Pryor vs Ricky Hatton

well i agree with you 99 percent of the way, only factor that might effect that is taylors heart and wish to be a warrior...its possible he could sit down in the trenches too much with hatton and get his body worked....hatton..if you layed in close with him....could do serious damage to the body unless you have amazing in close defense and ability to roll, like mayweather did.

 

but ill agree taylor likely beats him..but i think its possible for taylors pride to lose him the fight.

 

i have watched the fight......good fight...again none of the these guys have the freakish speed and power that Pac possed at 140 or the amazing techincal skills of mayweather.

 

Taylor would stay in the trenches with Hatton and still **** him. Hatton aint Chavez! He didnt have the toughness, stamina, skill, accuracy, defense, or chin that Chavez had. And Taylor was alot tougher and physically stronger then your giving him credit for. He'd simply sharp shoot the hell outta Hatton with those blistering combos he had, and Ricky wouldnt hold up to the punishment all night.

I think in the entire history of 140.... Melridick Taylor is THE worst possible matchup for Hatton.

 

Who says you gotta be Pac, or Floyd to beat Hatton? Hell Louie Collazo beat Hatton, and got robbed.

Locche defensively speaking was probably BETTER then Floyd, even though he didnt have Floyd's physical gifts. He was one of the more skilled fighters that ever lived.

Locche would make Hatton look like a joke. Hatton would look like a drunk trying to land on Locche, and Niccolino would calmly counter him to death and slow him down to the body.

If its a 15 rounder, I see Hatton getting stopped on accumulation, and from completely being tired out from missing.

 

Well I'm a American...not a crazy brit...but I don't think Collazo beat Hatton....I do think hatton at his best can get inside on most anyone...what happens from their is a win against many...a loss against some.

 

Collazo beat Hatton. He landed by far the cleaner shots, and he damn near had Hatton out on his feet in the last round.

 

I think hatton has the physical strength, fast feet, soild chin and body punches (at his best) to give most 140 fighter a hard fight even if they win. I think even Mayweather had a hard fight (in so as he likely felt the after effects of the fight far more then, say, Marquez). But I do think most the guys you named to beat him beats him...I just think it may be a bit harder then you think.

 

Perhaps, I think he'd be hard for some.

I just dont think he'd be hard for Pryor, Taylor, or Locche.

 

I think hatton most all the early rounds...I don't remember my exact score...but I had hatton winning...and in fairness Collazo was a damn good fighter.

 

I liked Ricky but he did prove to be somewhat limited. Pryor would go through him like a week-old vindaloo

 

Me as well...most people who don't like Hatton say Callazo landed better shots and had Hatton out on his feet as a way of justifying their stance. The fact is that the 10 point must is in effect and does not opperate on better punches (over the course of a fight) or who is staggered for a second in each fight, but rather who won more rounds. The fact of the cards (and most opinions) is that Hatton won more rounds!

 

True...hatton did show some weaknesses in that fight..but it was aganst a damn good fighter at 147. While Hatton is not a all time great, he was a fighter with definite strenghts who at his best would have been a threat to all but the very best elite of 140...and most of them would have had a hards night work.

 

i say hatton is in the top 10, and at the worst top 15 of 140lb champs from 1980 to present.i think he is better than most champs and belongs right along side guys like mcgirt and taylor and to me both would be pickem fights.guys like chavez, delahoya,pryor,whiticker,you can give them the benefit of the doubt theyre top pfp types, but guys like camacho who struggled against greg haugen and reyes cruz and got demolished by both chavez and delahoya,i think hatton walks right thru him .as for mcgirt he got beat by pressure fighter frankie warren.as for taylor he gets hit way too much and only lasted 4 rnds with terry norris.no fighter is comfortable with hattons unique type of pressure.only 2 dealt with it pbf and mp.also i had hatton winning a tough close one over collazo

 

No Collazo didn't get robbed, it was a close fight that could have gone either way and Collazo got outworked most rounds. Add to the fact the KD meant Collazo needed 7 rounds to win, Hatton probably had the edge. And I'm never a Hatton fan, more a hater

Loche's defense looked great against the level of opponents he fought on video, but the likes of Cervantes are predictable, against Ortiz he supposedly came off second best and I heard Laguana beat him but not sure on that 1. Hatton is less predictable than Cervantes and his in fighting makes him harder to defend against, he's also very physical imposing and fights at a hell of a pace, which may push. Loche isn't stopping any top fighters either
