    No boxing skills whatsoever, but he beats skilled boxers, so apparantly your definition of "skills" is flawed. "Boxing skills" are what works to win a boxing match, period.

    Holyfield and Rahman :yep

    How dare you denigrate the name of the Bearded Warrior with Hatton.

    i really don't like hatton's style of fighting. he goes in, connects with a punch then immediately clinches/holds. immediately after the ref breaks the hold, he punches then clinches again... not very entertaining, to say the least.

    Dumb comparison. Despite Hatton holding a lot he throws a lot of punches and he throws punches in a clinch. He throws all kinds of punches, mostly hooks and uppercuts, Ruiz only throws jab and right hand and clinches and when in a clinch he doesnt throw any punches just holds.

    6 years ago hudson was saying that hatton would lose to virtually all of the top ten 2001 light welters and now 6 years on, its he does not like his style.

    nothing much changes.

    Hatton is way more entertaining than Floyd Mayweather. His fan base is way bigger. No comparison here.

    UMM I dont remember that. I remember being a fan of Hatton, before he adopted he crappy style. And i also recall picking hatton to win both of his biggest fights, Tszyu and now Castillo. Do i think that there are alot of fighters out there that would beat Hatton??? Yes I do, but he has managed to avoid that kind of fighter. First it was Mitchell who is a bad style, then it was Witter, and Floyd. Funny thing is that they are all very slick fast fighters. I wonder if hatton's people seen something in training that lead them to avoid this types of fighters.:hey


    And it wasnt no 10,000 fans that came over to watch Hatton, it was 5,683, quite a few fans to come so far, but not near the numbers that his fans are now claiming. I guess that as time goes on that number will grow.:lol:

    6000 die hard Hatton fans. How many die hard fans does Mayweather have? 12?

    No I didnt make that up, that was the offical number of seats sold to british fans. Maybe some got tickets at the door, but not 4,000 of them:good

    Hatton used to be exciting but has turned too much into a wrestler lately.

    Still, I don't dislike him like I did Ruiz, and Ricky is a much better fighter than Ruiz was.

    He's more of an Armstrong than a Ruiz
