Marquez vs Hatton. Who Wins?

I would tend to agree. Would be an interesting fight though... Diaz seems to have a similar style to hatton except is a little slower and doesnt have as much power (but with a better chin); and Diaz gave Marquez some problems

But still... Marquez is an elite fighter and has the better skill set.. so i would also go for a late round TKO

 

I would also favor Marquez but Marquez to me was significantly slowing down as a competitor at lightweight and Hatton was roadkill in his last fight so I'm not sure if this is a case of who is better or who is the least shopworn.

 

Hatton similar to Diaz, in that he would get counterpunched to ****

 

Hatton would run into counterpunches all night

 

Yeah, but Diaz, while even in the process of being technically outclassed, was physically overwhelming to Marquez. Although in different ways, Diaz and Hatton are the same kind of fighter, who base everything on being physically overwhelming, rather than thinking. And, I'm not knocking it because they both were durable and strong enough in a total body sense (as opposed to punching ability), to achieve an awful lot with that style. Now Hatton is much bigger and more imposing than Diaz and Marquez is just very small for a 140 pounder. He was pushing it at 135. He can bulk up all he wants but it doesn't make his natural frame, with just his natural athletic weight any different.

 

Marquez.

What's with the 3rd Poll Option, since when was Ricky Hatton, John Ruiz?

 

Good post Ears. To me alot depends on where the fight is held. If Ricky is allowed to rough Marquez up, I think he'll wear him out. If Marquez is able to keep it a boxing match, I think he'll win on points.

 

Hatton would give his fair share - But would eat glove all night! Marquez would take him!

 

hatton is too much for him and wins

 

Before the Mayweather fight JMM was fairly widely considered P4P no 2/3. He has too much for this version of Hatton.

 

If the referee controls teh fight, JMM hands down.

 

If Hatton even tries to make 140 he could do his body some serious harm. It is a scary thought.
