    having debate with my friend. he says eubanks was bigger

    i said hatton hit hard also tough stamina+chin+power but i think he is right he is too small

    what do you think?

    Eubank. The two aren't even comparable for a potential match up though.

    hatton was a light welter who found fighting at welter too hard by his own admittance.
    eubank was a big super middle who even had a title fight at cruiser.

    He's on another thread which is discussing Earnie Shavers power and asked "Who is Shavers?" He then claims to be some kind of boxing historian!

    yes i did not hear of ernie shavers but i am more interested in 1940s boxers,, my great uncle saw robinson and jack fight when he was in america and got me interested. ricky hatton i think would be a good matchup for eubanks as he is quicker but i still think he would lose but not by ko like my friend says.

    Rockymarmite is another moron troll

    most likely Tommo/Glover again

    the whole purpose of this stupid thread is a thinly veiled attempt to justify 'size' in boxing.

    why todays fighters are better because theyre bigger

    Interesting fight at 147 for the Hatton who fought Collazo against the 1984 Eubank who fought Mark Breland.
