Hatton vs Maidana

Maidana, too strong. Hatton's 2 losses have been KO's,
Maidana has been knock down but he gets up and his 3 losses have only been by close decisions against Kotelnyk & Amir khan and a UD loss to Alexander which was his first fight @ 147.

Now his 2nd fight @ 147, he has improved and TKO'd Karass.

 

Maidana is a glorified bum with power.

Prime Hatton brutally destroys his body

Current Hatton probably loses but ill reserve judgement for now

 

You know nothing about boxing then prime Hatton destroys maidana and makes it look easy hatton wasn't a basic plodder like maidana still is

 

I dont know anything about boxing? Im just stating what really happened when Hatton fought someone with decent power, Hatton chin is not so good Pacquiao and Mayweather knocked him the **** out with left hooks. Maidana has even more power than Floyd or Manny(im not comparing Maidana with them), are you gonna tell me that im wrong in that one? its gonna be a competitive fight no doubt but Maidana's chin will hold up. We all know he can take a punch, get knocked down and get up(even painful bodyshots) its just a matter of time whether Maidana makes him feel his power like Urango did. Btw on that fight hatton said that he had to 'box' because Urango was too strong. Anybody backs me up with that?And i know a lot more boxing than you would ever know

 

Hattons chin got cracked with his weight balooning and getting beaten on by Collazo, Urango and Mayweather all guys who were bigger than him....

You dont walk through bombs from Kosta having a glass chin

His punch resistance is gone tho and i dont think the break and his age will allow him to get back to anywhere near his best.

I think he made some commet during the urango fight that he couldnt get his hands through Urangos defence and later on as he was flagging Graham told him he had to "kid on a bit" Hatton had got flu or something in the weeks leading to the fight and didnt have much left in the tank.

I think i rember a comment on how strong Urango was but cant remeber the context off it.

Hattons speed and angles would give Maidana a lot of trouble - and his body attack could cause problems. maidana packs huge power but limited (tho improving skills) id lean towards hatton if only because he never lost to a brawler....

 

I agree with you about Kostya, he is one of my favorite fighters. But Maidana is a different fighter, he loves to fight he will make you go to war with him and then take advantages of your defensive flaws. Thats his only way to fight. We all know Hatton's defense is not the best, every time he threw a hook or an uppercut he left himself open for a anyone to counter him. I just think Maidana's style is all wrong for Hatton(prime/past prime)

 

All i know is that this fight, past or present would be an extremely exciting scrap. There is actually a chance this happens with Maidana being friendly with the WBA and Hatton wanting Paulie's WBA title.

 

matthew hatton by brutal early stoppage

 

Kostya Tyzu had knock out power. Even if he was somewhat past prime.

Manny pacquaio and Floyd Mayweather may not have the same power as Maidana, (Pacquaio might) but I would favour them to knock out guys who would beat Maidana simply because they are faster and more accurate when it comes to landing punches.

It is also important to note that Floyd Mayweather was P4P number 1 at the time and Manny Pacquaio was P4P number 1.

I would also favour Prime Floyd Mayweather JR and Prime Manny Pacquaio to stop Maidana.

Manny Pacquaio of the Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto fights is the worst style match up for inside fighters, only skilled counter punchers such as Marquez would be favoured.

Floyd Mayweather JR isn't a power puncher but because of the skill difference and Maidana is wild, I would favour Mayweather to hurt and stop Marcos Maidana with clean accurate counter punches as he rushes in.

 

Maidana is VERY accurate when it comes to landing big punches, maybe he is not as fast and skilled as Floyd or Manny but when he lands 2 or 3 consecutive bombs and you dont have an granite chin then you are either going to feel them and pick your punches more carefully or you are going down. Which i think Hatton would do both. I think that will happen if they fight
