How good is Mathew Hatton??

A little dramatic a response, chuckles.

Last I checked, European championship is basically the last stop before world title contention (after having worked up through local, regional, and then domestic competition).

He is an EBU champion who could possibly contend for a world title depending on things pan out. Granted, he'd probably lose to anything but an absolute paper champ (and would then be one himself) but that does suit the definition of world class.

Read my post again. It seems you might be one of those morons who gets it twisted, doesn't it? :good

 

magic hatton is a decent european level fighter imho....

cant see him cracking the world crown.

 

If he weren't British and named Hatton he'd get mentioned about as much as Vyacheslav Senchenko does around here: Not at all. He's a gatekeeper without a gate.

 

stupid poll.

 

He is a journeyman who tried going the British level route and got thoroughly beat by the likes of Craig Watson for the lightly regarded Commonwealth title, the one below British title.

So he went the international route and got handpicked faded borderline European level opponents by his brother to get him the "European" title. Which in all these fights got boring UD's, and knocked down in one of then. His last fight he actually got a KO3 against the completely unknown Roberto Belge in another European "title" defense.

He is the epitomy of average, and shows how having an influential big fighter/promotor behind you gets you apparently on the verge of "world class"

 

I cant understand why so many people dislike him to be honest, to me, he's too irrelevant to hate on, plus, at least he's tried to improve himself technically.

Against Branco, Branco was shooting punches to his body and Hatton was catching it with the elbow and shooting the uppercut with the same hand, so he's clearly learned something from the likes of Mayweather sr when he was with Ricky.

 

jcc is only 24yrs with no amatuer experience and a 70% ko from 40 fights, compared to mathew hatton who is 29 going on 30 yrs old , mathew hatton's amatuer record was 22 W 4 L, the differece between jcc and mathew is jcc has time to build his skill and work towards a title shot, and mathew hatton must use his brothers name coz he doesnt have skill or the time he is a "B" class fighter

 

Mediocre

 

Mediocre

 

Hes pretty good. Solid fighter, good credentials. Not spectacular at any one thing, but he a pretty well rounded fighter.

 

You're another one.

You can join NHJ in the dunce corner and rejoin the conversation when you figure out what "world class" means.

Hint: it isn't synonymous with elite. Average/B or C level fighters can easily be world class fringe without any funny stuff behind the scenes.

 

he was also gifted a draw against lovemore ndou in the UK which was bulll**** anywhere else in the world and and it would of been a clear points loss !

 

he has improved dramaticly over last few years and has a solid all round game by his own accord he didnt have a clue how to deal with watsons(underated unlucky fighter) footwork as he didnt have any, he blamed billy graham as he was trainin for watson fight and didnt even get pads so got other trainer as graham was trainin ricky for laczano

imo hes never gonna be top 10 welters in the world and in britain alone there is brook,watson,odonnel,theophane and jennings that are all capable of beating him too be honest im sick of fighters in britain by passing the domestic 50/50 fights and going for fringe world titles and at times even european title hatton is second best in manchester untill he beats watson imo (altho watson may not make welter as hes lm but not sure) without doubt hes had the gift and the curse of being rickys brother

but one of the most stedily improved fighters about

 

The same hatton that got outboxed by craig watson LOL !
He is not even overrated because everyone in boxing knows he is **** so theres no point hyping him up

 

Good fighter making an honest living. Your poll options are shite.
