Arturo Gatti vs Ricky Hatton @ 140 - Who you got?

Gatti was visibly hurt (or dropped) to the body from Patterson, DLH, Mayweather and Ward.

His heart kept him in it and he recovered but he was not exactly James Toney or Muhammad Ali in taking body blows.

On top of that, Hatton was simply a better fighter than Gatti.

 

:deal This and I dont even like Hatton, but he would be all over Gatti like white on rice and Gatti doesnt have the power or skills to keep him off

Nah Gatti could punch at 140, don't get it twisted. The problem would be that Hatton would give him no room to get those loaded shots off, because hatton would be in his grill all night mauling, bodyshotting, forearming, left hooking Gatti continuously. And Gatti did have decent boxing skills, but he could never outbox Hatton with his footspeed and Gatti's inferior movement speed which even Ward could catch up to from time to time.

But lets be objective, Gatti did have power and would have enough to stun Hatton to the very least. Gatti hit harder than Mayweather did at that weight, IMO. But ultimately he would be overwhelmed. I think people are underestimating Gatti. Watch his fights coming up, watch his fights before Mayweather. If you look at his fight with Hoya he did pretty good and made a fight out of it, he just couldn't put a dent in hoya's jaw, and hoya was just too big and overwhelmed him. I think he could possibly hurt hatton, but i dont see it happening much, as he would get crowded all night and have no room to be set to get his right hand off.

 

Hatton in my opinion

 

That heart could only get him so far against better fighters.

Hatton would keep attacking the body. Against a guy like Ward, he mainly had to worry about the left hook downstairs, and Ward was much slower in setting it up. Hatton was much faster than Ward, and also would rotate his body to get angles on the body shots. He'd pivot, quickly move his body in ways to get in the right position, and work the body.

Maybe Gatti could catch Hatton with something big and stop him, but I definitely make him the underdog.

 

Two of my favourite fighters.

However one kept up with Floyd for 6 - 8 rounds , the other couldnt keep up with Floyd for 1 round.

Hatton in about 5 - 7 rounds and makes Gatti look like he has gone 15 bloody rounds.

 

Hatton TKO8

 

gatti shows heart but the step up in class is to much like usual for arturo. 140 ricky was not gianluca branco. hatton by referee stoppage

 

Hatton would stop him.

 

Hatton is at least a league and a half above Gatti and beats the living **** out of him 10 times out of 10.

 

This fight shouldve happened in june 2005 as floyd vs tszyu shouldve fought each othe but we got the wrong fights as usual.

anyway id take gatti he showed he could handle wars and punishment easy hatton didnt
