Hatton wants true Greatness? Margarito has just given him a lifeline...

All this is a little bit silly. Some times i think hattons not even that big for a LWW so i dont know why people keep looking at WW opponents.

Marg is stupidly big. i have no idea how he's a WW and to be honest if PBF doesnt come out of retirment which is the fight id like to see as its the perfect mesh of styles. The best deffence is world boxing against a complete on slaught of a tank, i think a rematch would be fantastic. you learn the most about your self and your opponent in defeat. cotto has somthings he could work on. it wasnt all one way traffic.

As it is i dont see PBF happening or del hoya..

And as for hatton turning down oscar fact is oscar needs hatton more than hatton needs oscar. hatton is the biggest draw in world boxing despite but he's to small and unfortunatly much as i love him to limited to fight oscar. he would be soundly beat which is not a crtasisem, christ oscat fights a light middle!! So its win win for oscar, he gets to go out on top and to the biggest availible audience

 

haha this thread is hilarious. if juan lazcano can hurt hatton.............whats margorito gonna do lol.

 

Can we just let Haton see out his (pretty decent)career at 140? Its pretty obvious he'll never be a force at 147, esp. not against the bigger guys like Williams and Margo.

 

styles wise hatton won't have to go looking and that's how he likes it.

however margo has big size advantages and is a better stayer than rick is these days.

i think hatton would have success. i think he's faster and better at picking em out.

but down the stretch i think margo gets him. atsch

 

Does not have HOF credentials. That will be all.

 

Like it or not, you can bet your life on Hatton getting into the HOF.

 

I agree.

I'd take Hatton at 140. I don't think Margo would be looking too good; if he could summon the energy to walk into the ring that is.

 

List these supposed "credentials" that will take him there.

 

margerito would turn him into the elephant man ricky would run straight into the ring post just to avoid a hammering

 

forget any of the welterweights right now if ricky fought some 1 like kedall holt or richardo torres i could seem him getting brutally sparked

 

Hatton will get into the HOF, whether you like the guy or not that much should be obvious.

If you want to debate whether he'll deserves that place then thats a different matter. If he retired tomorrow then he's still been the best man at 140 for 3 years, undefeated at the weight, beat Zoo (The Rings P4P number 3 at the time), JLC (The Rings P4P number 8 at the time) and been The Rings Fighter of the Year in 2005. Not first draft maybe but he'll deserve to get in second or third draft on those "credentials" IMHO.

 

Hatton was tiny compared to Floyd just imagine haw it would be with margo

 

If pac fights DLH at 147 December time, which is looking increasingly likely, and wins. P4P no 1, Pac V Hatton next year at 140 would be a better shot at "Greatness"; then a match up with Margo, where he would get pummelled anyway due to the size disparity.

*Can't see how little Pac is going to beat DLH though at Welterweight. If he does (unlikely), and after totally destroying Diaz at 135; Pac would be a huge fight on for Hatton.*
