how would prime hatton do against current top 140lb fighters

Id favor Hatton over all of them. Hatton gets very underrated but he faced 2 of the greatest fighters p4p since Whitaker and Jones dominated the early to mid 90s.

 

he beats all of them

 

He beats them all.

The thing about this crop is.... they're all pretty good young fighters.... but all FOUR of them are overhyped as hell. Its not JUST Con.... Bradley, and Alexander are overrated as well. And Ortiz.... we all know he's a phony.

I'm hardly a Hatton fan at all.... but 2005 Hatton was a better talent, and a better fighter than any of the current 140 crop.

 

Yeah, he'd probably beat them all. Khan gets stopped every time I think, and Alexander just gets outworked and overwhelmed. Bradley would be an interesting and fun fight though.

 

I admit outta the 4 Bradley would be Ricky's toughest fight. But at the end of the day... Bradley doesnt hit hard enough to keep Hatton off him, and Timmy is HARDLY a defensive wiz.

Khan is the easiest for Ricky. Conman BARELY escaped the slow, crude pressure of Maidana. He falls apart VERY quickly under the fast, more educated pressure of Hatton.

 

IMO, he beats Alexander (and probably Ortiz) easiest with pressure and infighting. He'd be a favorite against Tim who he would likely beat in a competitive fight as well as Khan, outhustling them both, although Khan I could see giving him trouble and using his physical advantages to get a decision win. Maidana he could beat, but I can see a toe-to-toe war slowing them both down...Hatton's more varied bodypunching or Maidana's greater power proving the difference down the stretch.

 

Maidana is amongst my favorite current fighters, and as I said I was never a Hatton fan... but Ricky would have brutally ****ed up Maidana.

Although... Chino KO's the Hatton that fought Juan Lazcano.

 

He would lose to all of them, Hatton was seriously overrated. Alexander by uppercut, Tim by work, Khan by jab from the outside, and Maidana by power. All this BS about only losing to two of p4p **** has to stop, He got KTFO by both, even a little guy like JMM didn't get stopped by either, and a whole host of others.

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Hatton would ever be in danger of losing to Bradley. It would just be a reasonably fun fight with nice inside exchanges. Bradley's a solid, well-rounded fighter, and he's a smart guy too. He'd make it interesting, if not entirely competitive on the whole. Khan and Ortiz get mauled by Ricky, and Maidana would just be another Urango at best.

 

Yeah a man who's only two career losses came to the two very best fighters of this generation is gonna get worked by two feather fists, a crude puncher, and a man who couldnt last a minute with Brendis Prescott.

Makes alot of sense.

Hatton has actually become UNDERRATED, and your dumbass post is a prime example of that.

 

Hatton doesn't have Maidana's chin, so Con would get him out of there before it went to the 10th round, unlike Maidana.

 

He lost in brutal, embarrassing fashion, you act as if it was a controversial split decision.

 

But hey, according to Ricky he was winning the second round against Pac "by a country mile", UK must have a messed up measuring system.

 

Khan might not have lasted a round with Prescott, but he wouldn't get KTFO in the second by Pacman. I would like to see Ricky take a flush shot from Maidana. And if Ricky is that great, he's only 32/33, he should comeback and school all these guys, why doesn't he? Pac and PBF are around the same age and still around.
