A victory over which of these opponents -now- would add the most to Hatton legacy?

I'd say Bradley. He's the best at the weight (if we accept Pac isn't fighting at 140 again) and beating the best guy in your weight class will always add to your legacy.

JMM shouldn't be fighting above 135.

 

love 2 see.... Hatton v Cotto

 

Bradley no question.

Marquez is probably one of the lesser ones on there for me. He's a small 135'er who is past his prime by a few years. He's moved from 128 to 135 to 144 back to 135 for his next fight and then Hatton would beat him at 140 ?? I DONT THINK SO.

Oscar De la Hoya would be a decent win but people will always point back to the way he was a dead man walking against Pac and hasn't been out for so long. (DLH would dismantle Hatton anyway)

Alexander would be a very underated win IMO being a tricky southpaw but lets face it the general sports fan won't know him.

Khan would be a supeb scalp for him, but Bradley (untill beaten is definitley) 'the man' at 140

Holt, Urango, Maidana - Not really

 

Ricky loses to them all by KO and it takes nothing away from his legacyg because even in his prime he loses to most of them.

 

Especially that beast Urango, that ****ers a monster at 140. Oh, wait........

 

Hatton would **** Maidana and Holt, possibly still even now. As much as I like Khan as he is now a Prime hatton would have raped him (although I expect Khan to keep improving. He'd beat Bradley and Alexander prime too. I think only DeLaHoya and Marquez can ever be classed as truly Prime for Prime better.

Lets not get carries away with the bashing of him eh lads

 

Strange post that, you do a lot of these. Not even good wind ups.


Anyway I just wonder why people say Marquez is shot. Absolutely no evidence of it. Very credible win if Hatton beat him, VERY credible in fact.

Bradley would be a superb win too mind you.

But I think even a win over Bradley would be open to revisionism. People would dispute how good he really was. Though in my mind Bradley is a real tough nut and looks to be the man at 140 for the next few years.


Edit to say - I think JMM and Bradley both beat Hatton right now anyway

 

Bradley or Khan depending on what they go on to achieve afterwards.

 

Tim Bradley for sure , if Hatton beats Marquez it will be " Marquez is a LW etc etc " which to be honest you could not put up an argument with , however since Ricky's extroverts against the top P4P fighters in the world came to a brutal end Tim Bradley has firmly placed himself at the top of the JrWW division in his absence , if Ricky comes back and beats Bradley i for one would see that as his career best win bearing in mind how Floyd and Manny beat him .
