    Ruiz on speed maybe. Hatton is to damn fast. And he is in and out faster than Ruiz ever was. But all in all. Nobody compares to the Ultimate Mauler that is the Quietman.

    They are not automatically an idiot if they disagree with me, they are an idiot if they think Hatton fights like Ruiz, regardless of my opinion.

    Hatton is a Mini Ruiz with ADHD, nothing more.

    I am a Hatton fan but I will be the first to admit that he has begun to hold on too much for my liking. He held on way too much in the first round against Castillo but looked so much better in the fourth when he held on less and let his hands go.

    Hatton has developed a very effective physical style which involves beating his opponent to the punch and holding on to supress any counters and break up his opponents rythm. While it is very sucessful it is not very exciting to watch. He's doing whatever it takes to win, which in boxing is acceptable in my eyes as long as it isn't illegal and so far he is yet to be penalized for such tactics.

    A spot on assessment. So why can't others see this?

    Of course not, Hatton does hold and stuff but he can make fights exciting.

    maybe a few similarities with the clinching, but hatton throws hard body shots in there. the holding etc.. is just part of his rough house, bullying style.

    yes because, Ruiz makes champions QUIT...

    it must have been hattons clinches that made zoo not want to fight for the last three minutes, or castillo take a knee and not get up.

    yes.... exactly like ruiz.

    Don't know what the fuss is about Hattons holding.
    You check out some old fights and it was considered an acceptable tactict back in the day.

    Hatton fights like John Ruiz. It cant really be denied. the difference is very small. And lets be totally honest here, Ruiz had fought better fighters.

    Hatton is losing fans also because of his style. Dont get me wrong, I dont bash fighters for using styles that give them the best shot a winning a fight, that dont mean that i have to like it.

    I for one dont see how guys can say the styles arent the same. Ruiz jab jab hold, Hatton right hand left hook hold. Dont see anything that makes it all that different.

    Hatton's style is bad for boxing not to mention illegal. Fall in hold wrestle and hit in the clinch...weak. No boxing skills whatsoever.

    Hatton has some skills he just dont use them.
