KO12 Kostya Tszyu, KO4 Jose Luis Castillo

so what your going to sit there and tell me that guys like Taylor,Spinks,PBF and Hatton are'nt pushing casual fans away from this sport.

Common mate i wasnt born yesterday.

all the great fighters have retired bring back the 80's i say.

 

I've always said that Hatton is a great fighter. I recall Jeff Thomas saying that Juan Diaz could possibly beat Hatton, don't understand where he gets that logic when Diaz was hurt by Freitas' body shots.

 

logic says that the 'baby bulls' paunch wouldnt last long against Hatton, I tend to agree

 

KEN BUCHANAN was a much better fighter then Rickey Hatton.

Llyod Honeyghan beat Don Curry,former champ Gene Hatcher,future champ Rosi,Future champ Maurice Blocker,former champ Johnny Bumphus.Honeyghan's resume is more impressive then Hattons.

 

I'm aware of that Achilles but just feel they really dropped in the quality of their performances after the Lewis fights.... I'm a big lewis fan so i'm not knocking him.

 

lol

 

Diaz is the bomb. Don't make the mistake of underating the guy I really think he's impressive and the Hatton who fought Urango would come up short against baby bull no doubt about it!!

 

maybe you should retire with them- or at least **** off back to your own forum where you can talk about mundine.

 

Thats your opinion re buchanan but I don't agree. As for Honeygunn I'd have Castillo and Tszyu over any of those guys including Curry.

 

Curry was regard as pound for pound the best boxer when Lyodd beat him.
KT was OLD when he met up with Hatton.
ISMAEL LAUGUNA would have outboxed Hatton.Ken Buchanan beat him 2.

THERE IS NOWAY THAT HATTON IS BETTER OR SHOULD BE RATED HIGHER THEN BUCHANAN>Buchanan fought the much better boxers.


Look.Hatton could have faced Witter.He Didn't.
Hatton could have challenged Mayweather.he didn't.
How about Cotto?
You have to fight and beat the best to be consider the best.
Hatton didn't even fight ZAB JUDHA.:hey

 

Curry may have been considered p4p the best at the time Honeygunn beat him but his results after that defeat make it very hard to make a case for him been an ATG despite his extremely watchable style.

And as for Buchanan and Laguana I've watched there fights and there is not a chance either would have beat Hatton. Its never going to be proven or disproven either way but for me Hatton is the better fighter.

 

yeah i ain't too keen on the fight either.

hatton beats him pretty easy i think.

cotto is my top choice.

but will arum wanna risk it after seeing that. :yep

 

buchanan's record ain't that amazing in my opinion.

won the lightweight title and made 2 defences.

quite a few non title fights.

beat laguna twice, jim watt, carlos ortiz (when ortiz was old), ruben navarro.

beat laguna in close fights and was losing wide to duran before the low blow finish.

hatton was better than buchanan i think. :bbb

 

You think Hatton license should be revoked 4 his fighting style?

 

yes immediately
