how would prime hatton do against current top 140lb fighters

Against Mayweather he gave a good account of himself before eventually being outclassed, and stopped.

Against Pac... he was clearly not the same fighter. The Lazcano fight PRIOR to the Pac fight showed this.

Would it have mattered? No.... Pac would **** up any version of Hatton. But a fresher, prime Hatton would have given a better account of himself before getting KO'd.

But the MAIN point of this that I find hilarious..... do you actually believe that Bradley, Alexander, Maidana, and Khan would have fared any better vs Floyd and Manny? I'll give you a hint... the answer is no.

 

He's only 32/33, how can he become a shot fighter so quickly? Hatton would have lost to Cotto, Marg, Mosley, and hell even Berto.

 

This sentence right here exhibits that you dont know much about the sport.

The second sentence shows that you most be borderline ******ed, considering we're talking about 140 here.... and last time I checked all 4 of those guys are welterweights.

I could make a list about 12 pages long of all the WELTERWEIGHTS in history that could beat Hatton.

 

Well, Ortiz is fighting Berto, but I guess your precious Hatton couldn't handle that. Whatever man, Hatton is the unstoppable juggernaut in your fantasy matchups. Everyone at 140 would lose to the great Hatton.

 

I'm not gonna bother with you anymore cause its VERY clear to me that your new to the sport, and dont have much knowledge about boxing. Which is ok.... until you assume to debate with posters such as myself who DO know about the sport.

How can a fighter be shot at 32? LMAO!

You have ALOT to learn about boxing newbie.

 

Can you name an ATG that was shot before the age of 31? Hey man, all I know is what I watch, and the last thing I saw of Hatton's corpse being scraped off the canvas in the second round, but yeah, he was winning "by a country mile" before that. Ricky the "hype-man" Hatton. The dudes at 140 are hype-jobs, and successors to the most hyped up fighter of the last decade.

There's only one....

 

1. You must not watch much.

2. It was probably the FIRST time you've ever seen Hatton fight, as well as the last.

Just admit that your new to the sport. I'm not even bashing, but I can tell. Anybody who's say something like "How can he be shot at only 32-33?" doesnt have a wealth of knowledge about boxing.

So just admit it. Your not alone either. PLENTY of guys on this general forum are new to boxing and dont know jack **** yet... so you'll fit in fine.

Just dont assume to know about things that you dont yet understand.

 

The amount I or anyone watches is relative.

First Hatton fight I watched was vs PBF, the second was against Pac, then I watched Malignaggi one.

Name me an ATG that was shot by the age of 31. I can't think of one, he was 30 or 31 when he fought MP.

 

Hagler was on very obvious decline in the bouts with Mugabi and SRL before his retirement at the age of 32.

Benitez wasnt even 30 by the time he was being stopped by the likes of Moore and Hilton.

Tyson was 30 by the time of the Holyfield fights.

Arguello was 30 when the Pryor fights took place.

I wouldn't say Ricky was shot by the time he faced Pac, he was more like those guys I mentioned. Still a capable fighter, but past his best. That's ignoring the obvious though and just seeing that Hatton was a better fighter than these guys in the fights he won against Tszyu, Maussa, Malignaggi, Collazo, Urango, Tackie, etc. It's not like any of the guys at 140 would be competitive with Pac or Floyd either.

 

They wouldn't be competitive, but Khan gets KTFO in the sixth against Pac, not the second like Hatton, and unlike Hatton, Khan could possibly take a round or two. Khan stopped Malignaggi the same round Hatton did, and Alexander KOd Urango, Hatton didn't.

 

I could end my case right there.... but for some reason I'll humor you and SPARE myself the trouble of naming the PLENTY, and just name a few..... I guess the names Aaron Pryor, and Wilfred Benitez mean nothing to you... huh?

Or how bout this guy.... Mike Tyson? Ahhhh yeah! You've heard of him at least.

Meldrick Taylor? Nah.... thats prob not a name you know yet.

Edwin Rosario? HELL NO you dont know him!

Terry Norris? Doubt you know him.

JOE FRAZIER! I think you probably know his name... but not positive.

I could go on.... but its no point.

You're just embarassing yourself at this point. Just admit that your new to the sport, and dont know **** yet!

 

Tyson is not an ATG, he lost to just about every relevant fighter when they were in their primes. You can't just watch him KO bums in the first and build him up on the basis of athletic potential. Buster beat Tyson, and proved Tyson is not an ATG. Wlad and Vitali would Stop PRIME TYSON or any other fantasy of him you have in your mind. Did Tyson ever beat a HOF boxer while they were in their prime? No he didn't.

 

Khan could not take a round off Manny. He's not even remotely in the same class. He's far too easy to hit and too easy to hurt to survive more than a round or two. He wouldn't take rounds off Mayweather either, which Hatton actually managed to do early on.

 

Well if Khan or any of the 140s are so easy for Hatton, let him comeback prove it. According to Roach, he takes rounds off Manny in sparring, but yes that is just sparring. Khan is a KO waiting to happen, but Hatton wouldn't get the job done.

 

Oh boy..... I'm just gonna leave this part alone. Too much I could pick you apart on here... esp the part about saying Mike KO'd bums then mentioning the Klit Bros.:rofl:rofl

But ignoring this part.... lets start off with the basics. Do you know who Wilfred Benitez is? PLEASE answer honestly, I'll be able to tell if you're lying.
