    jack kid berg won his tittle against mushy callahan a man berg had beaten the previous year ,hatton beat a past his best tszyu,berg defended his tittle as least seven times maybe as many as nine during which he beat kid chocolate a fighter unbeaten in 160 contests many thought kid chocolate would be to quick and to smart a boxer for berg but berg chased and made the boxer fight the new york sun published bergs punch stats berg had thrown 2,426 punches in ten rounds yes i know kid chocolate would later go on to win feather and super-feather tittles making him smaller than hatton but mayweather was a super-feather champ,berg also held a dec win over tony canzoneri before loseing his light-welter tittle to canzoneri via a 3rd round ko a third fighht between the two ended in a 15 round dec win for canzoneri,could you see hatton going 15 rounds with pac-man,hatton did have good nights vs castillo ko4 and malignaggi tko11 but berg beat petrolle and bruce flowers [3] in america ,not tackie or phillips at home with both coming off defeats
    my personal opinion is that berg would swarm hatton out work him and either win a 15 roud dec or force a very late stoppage,yes i did say swarm hatton,hatton holds and hits berg just kept throwing

    Ok, yeah Berg is one of the ATG's. Cant say the same for Hatton.

    Thats like comparing, Max Baer or Jack Sharkey to Ali or Louis or even Marciano.

    Dont even know why this one got made lol.

    I have nothing against Hatton as a figher or person, fun to watch. But what relly parts Berg from Hatton, is Berg at least beat ATGS in his era, were Hatton loses to em about.

    No I dont count the past prime ones Hatton beat. I talking about prime for prime ones that Berg beat.

    Berg is kinda of look down apound in a way for being knock cold vs Canzi in round 3, BUT, Canzi is more of a pound for pound great than Pac imo. (Though Pac is not far behide)
