    Maybe the jab that was effective at domestic/ WBU class wasn't getting the job done at real world class and Hatton just went from not using as much to not using it at all?

    [quote="TKO";3475799]Had it a bit narrower than that (115-112) but yeah I think it was a clear win for MAB[/quote]

    Yep, but MAB got gifted the other fight against Morales.

    how would he beat him, hatton telegraphs allot of shots when he finally got in with a fighter who still had his reflexes intact he paid for it.
    Kostay wasnt shot but he wasnt in his prime this is fact he was still very good but not at his peak my argument is you cant use such a fight as a yard stick to MAB/naz and of course hatton was an underdog at that point he'd fought no one, Hatton for the most part has always been allowed to fight his fight on the inside when he's denied this hes a fairly simple fighter.
    You argue that the first time Naz faced some 1 in his prime he was found out this statement backfires in your face when hatton faced some 1 who was a natural lww in floyd in his prime he was outclassed and KO'd. Floyd may have been P4P no1 in 07 but berrara was also in the top 10 at a time when the P4P list was stacked with better fighters.

    Naseem turned 35 just the other week. Perhaps there's time for one big fight comeback special.

    I think my money would comfortably be on Hatton.:D

    I'd go for Hatton in their primes as well, the difference in weight would be too much for a start... imo...

    Hatton would have mauled Hamed about and probablt stopped him.

    Funny thread...

    I like HAtton...awesome character and generally good for boxing...but the fact ppl are even considering Hamed vs Hatton firstly shows what crap boxing fans talk but also shows how good Naz was...who has Hatton beat who was better than Naz's opponents? Past prime Tszuyu? Hmm...I'd argue Naz beat people just as good?

    Once again how would a small 126lber beat a massive 140lber?

    Naz would get owned.
