No. He would also get KTFO against a young KT. And maybe the old KT, if the ref had ever insisted on Hatton letting go of KT's arms so he could punch a little bit.
I really do think that the Hatton that fought Tackie would give anyone hell. The Bradley fight would be a classic with a Hatton ud.
is this a joke? a prime hatton was an animal he would eat these pussies alive...everyones riding bradely's dick but he just about beat witter hatton will kill dem all just watch hatton vs olivera no one at 140 can handle that intensity
Pacquiao doesn't hit harder than Tszyu, but at least with Tszyu he could see the punches coming! Hatton peaked in the Stewart fight, held it for the Tszyu one and started to fade. There are a lot of parallels to be drawn between him and Riddick Bowe, IMO.
the shot he landed , yes .... and if you try and compare fights like that , it just shows how dumb you are ....
I think the problem with Hatton vs southpaws is that he gets left hand happy..... throwing the short left hooks to head and body 60 times a round and stepping to the left, when he would be far better (especially against Pac) firing the right hands and moving the other way. Marquez stood Pacquiao on his head doing exactly the same thing.... granted Hatton isn't as technically gifted, but still, a blueprint was there.
agreed. Hatton is not shot, he's barely faded. It's just that his level of comp has gone up, and he's recently been fighting on a level playing field unlike in the past. He just wasn't much good to begin with, massively overrated.
I dont think Hatton was that Over-Rated his only 2 defeats have come at the hands of the P4P#1 fighter in the world and possible the 2 best Boxers in the last 20 years , He dominated 140 pounds for 4 years beaten the likes of Tyszu,Maussa,Collazo,Urango,Castillo,Laszcano,Mallanaghi,Tackie,Phillips,Olivera,Stewart,Mugee , and in his prime id take him over Alexander,Ortiz,Maidinna,Harris,Judah,Mitchell,Witter,Khan,Diaz,Cambell,Bradley , He was a recking machine in his prime and how people think Bradley could take a prime Hatton is insane , Who has he beaten to suggest he whould even be in the fight ,
What you've got to be shitting me, you seriously think Bradley would beat a prime Hatton? i mean i know he gets a lot of **** on here but damn a prime Hatton was an animal with a killer instinct, he could take Kostya Tszyu's flush shots and bully just about anybody he faced in to submission, had great stamina set a white hot pace, and was relentless to the final bell I couldn't imagine Bradley or any of the 140 "champs" doing the following: 1. Force a legend (Kostya Tszyu) to quit thus taking his IBF title 2. Beat 4 Reigning world champions back to back (Tszyu, Maussa, Collazo, Urango) across two weights 3. Beating the likes of Tszyu, Maussa, Collazo, Urango, Castillio Malignaggi, taking risks to fight the P4P champs PBF and PAC And before he did all this you need to understand he beat ALL Domestic + European opposition bar Witter (who is in my opinion overated) All this about "well the ref let him use his rough house tactics in england" is bollocks, its just a style that most fighters couldnt handle he went to the states and used the same tactics and beat Collazo, Urango, Catillio, Malignaggi so thats pure noncence, dont try discredit his acheivements because you dont like his style of fighting, the facts speak for themselves A prime Hatton would have beaten any of the current stack at 140 imo and probably still would now hes seriously underatted on this site
Yup.I can't believe that people still brag about his "victory" over light hitting Collazo.Hatton was reeling at the end of that one.
