    I like Hatton but I've got to disagree with this one.

    Only a fool completely dismisses Hatton's chances in this fight.

    no mention of darts? :shock:

    not sure about those lists. Were the likes of Castillo and Chico really faster than Wicky?

    By the way, no matter how annoying it is to hear Wicky go on about council estate, guinness etc. it's much less annoying than listening to PBF make out (falsely) he came from a ghetto with his homies getting shot etc and talking about all his money. Now THAT is a boring wanker ladies and gents.

    Baldomir's had 13 KO's in 60 fights. Not really looked at the rest on your list, but that one just stuck out like a sore thumb to me.

    I also think your overating the version of DLH that Floyd faced. In his prime he was probably faster and more powerful than ricky, but not the 2007 version.

    faster handspeed than hatton when mayweather fought them

    ndou ?????? since when
    castillo and corrales ?

    corley`s right hand lead has a letter waiting for it by the time it arrives.

    the version of dlh when he fought mayweather did not have noticably quick hands.

    mitchell the same the 35 year old version did not have quicker hands.

    in fact one of hattons main assets for the style of fighter he is , is that he has quick hands and feet.

    judah definatley has quicker hands.

    Judah is quicker.

    ODH? Not so sure. His hands moved at an ok speed against Floyd. Not rapid though, and never effective speed. Hatton has more effective speed than ODH now.

    I thought he said as strong or as fast as me, didnt say anything about punch power.

    Yeah but at least he's telling the truth.

    I dont mind because y'know what, its just about the only time us brits are ever gonna get a real working-class boy done good story, so we should revel in it rather than be cynical.

    Hating ricky hatton for being a down to earth normal bloke seems a bit much to me.
