Hamed had bags and bags of potential to be an ATG, retired with a record with the single defeat in a fight where he was clearly out of love with the sport, came in unprepared and out of shape (steward was ready to leave training camp prior to the fight because of hamed's disinterest in the build up to the barrera fight) but at his best he was in a different league to hatton.....he took boxing to the big time in terms of PPV in britain.....awesome fighter
Hatton has a far better resume but Hamed is clearly a better boxer. hard to say, resume usually trumps ability though so Hatton
Against each other, Hamed is too small. Personally, I don't think Ricky was an average fighter. He was a great fighter! He had only two losses, and they were to two fighters that nobody has an answer for to this day. Get off Ricky's ass, already.
