Why no Pryor? :huh\ And Hatton doesn't belong neither does Bradley. Hatton would get slaughtered and end up comatose in the middle of the ring.
I am using peak forms of each fighter featured at the weight. Kostya Tszyu UD Ricky Hatton Oscar De La Hoya UD Floyd Mayweather Miguel Cotto SD Timothy Bradley. Hoya UD Kostya Hoya TKO Cotto Winner of tournament : Oscar De La Hoya Just imo
All due respect to Aaron Pryor who is ommited from this tournament. At 140lb at their peak then i go for a DLH V Tszyu final. Flip a coin for the winner
Hatton beat Tszyu so why is he losing the fantasy matchup? H2H should hold more weight around here, unless the losing fighter is shot obviously.
I can only speak for myself, as I have KT beating Hatton H2H in a tournament. Because I am taking peak forms. To me, Hatton didnt beat a peak KT. I think a prime, peak KT, with a more nuetral ref, would edge Hatton. Ricky gets super respect for doing what he did to KT, its a great win for him, but by no means do I think thats the best KT to step in the ring, and thats the version Im going with. And I think that version is able to get by Hatton in a tough fight. Just imo.
No, I get it, and there are many examples of prime fighters beating shot vets who would have schooled them a few years earlier. KT was still the top dog at that time though and still very dominant. Hatton deserves the credit IMO.
Using your list and thinking prime at that weight I would have to go for a Cotto Tszyu final. I think at WW ODLH vs Fraud with an SD either way
