Rapid, why is "check hook" only mentioned where Hatton is concerned? Because Mayweather KO'd him with one, Lascano has probably never thrown a check hook in his life and certainly didn't connect with one in the Hatton fight.
I think Hatton deserves a bit more respect from everyone, he was beaten by the best boxer in the world P4P, hes beaten everyone bar that and i think he will destroy Malignaggi. He's a Natural Light-Welterweight and i think he would beat anyone at that weight, fighting ODH would be a bad decision as he is proven even 3 weight classes above Hattons division, but Ricky wont duck anyone and thats his downfall. I think a fight with JMM would be a thriller! and then maybe 1 more fight after to cement his place as one of the best british fighters of all time.
"declined terribly" He's only had one fight since then, and although he didnt take out Lazcano, he came close a couple of times and argubly won every single round. You can say Lazcano is a poor fighter but there isnt many fighters in the division that will look impressive against him.
Bradley can adjust to his opponents style during a fight. Holt is one of the best counter punchers in the game today. Throw in Torres and you might have best three opponents for the winner and loser of Hatton/Malinaggi
all these clowns saying bradley will batter hatton had never heard of the guy until a few months ago. he was big here before he'd been heard of in his own country.
do i seriously believe that hatton is a wrestler with no boxing ability ? no i don't ,hence why he's a boxer , ring champion, only lost once, millions of fans ,i could go on. anymore questions ?
Have you seen him fight? The amount of fans just tells me how many dumbasses there are in britian...they like him because he's "Just one of the mates" gets ****ed up in between fights.....So John Ruiz doesnt wrestle in the ring despite having boxing gloves on? Ever seen him fight?
i watched ricky hatton from when he first turned pro so yes . we've already had the ruiz - hatton comparison and most sane people agreed its bollocks, lets not go down that road again.
Wow you're obviously a Hatton fan so have fun with your ideas....you're a pretty good poster smiffy and usually unbiased however I know what its like to be a fan of a fighter thats underappreciated by some.... Cheers
