    :thumbsup I agree I think Hamed has the slight edge as far as resumes go,and when he did fight a Pfp guy he didnt get Ktfod like Hatton did,and in a HTH Pfp matchup I have no doubt that Naz would knock him out around the 7th after having a tough time early. So clearly Naz is the better fighter,and I always rooted against him.I was very happy when Barrera beat him up, a fighter I loved to hate but i liked watching him and i give him his props as a skilled(although unorthodox)fighter with big time power.

    I see Hamed clearly a better fighter. I could see him outclass Ricky and stop him in 8 rounds. I do not think it is close.

    Im surprised that Hatton has 44% of the vote so far:shock: I guess lot of people still dislike Naz. It took me about 3to 4 seconds to come to the conclusion (resumes included) that Naz is clearly the better fighter,and I like Hatton and i disliked Naz.

    Hamed by a mile, this shouldn't even be up for debate.

    It's been said already, but it could stand to be said again: Fighters who absolutely crushed Hatton really shouldn't be brought up as if they gave him some sort of standing over Hamed.

    So what? That's still a pretty mediocre lineup, and even you admit he barely got by Collazo. Hell he had to have help from the ref to beat an old KT and Juan Lazcano.

    Hatton was a very good fighter, a little better than average champ. That's about it.

    What legacy does Hamed have?

    A good exciting fighter who got lost in his own hypes . . . who quit after just one loss because the hypes won't work anymore.

    He got humilated to the max . . . exposed and devasted.

    A quitter. :deal

    I can't believe this is even up for discussion HATTON has done great things for boxing the world over never mind just in Britain, he has the greatest fan base in the world because he wanted to fight ANYONE in his way to becoming p4p number 1, yes he didn't quite achieve it but he is a REAL man and fighter

    On the other hand you have some daft prancing little s&&t with a decent punch who cleaned up all the B list fighters avoiding real fighters like the plague until backed into a corner and got totally embarressed and how does he react??? did he fill a stadium in Sheffield with 48000 people and go again?? NO he ran like the overrated embarrising pu&&y he is

    If both ever met at the same weight in their primes Hatton would have chopped him in half, There is a lot more to a boxers make up than flash silky skills
