Never count Maidana out, but I see Hatton beating him up on the inside and winning a hard-fought decision in a good fight.
hahahaha, hatton would hurt maidana more than he would khan!. and i think hatton pretty much wipes khan out. maidana's punches are all goofy. he wouldn't be able to deal with hatton on the inside. ****, he has a hard enough time of it when the fights in the middle of the ring. he stands no chance... it an easy fight for ricky. KO within 5.
hatton would destroy him. hatton was able to out brawl tszyu. and tszyu would floss his teeth with maidana.
i would have loved to have seen it, if only maidanas mum had opened her legs 6 years earlier. a prime hatton was a beast at 140 lbs and he would devestate maidanas body like khan did in round 1 except hatton would keep on getting the body ko rounds 1 - 4
\Wow, nice match up. At first, too close to call. Upon further review, I see Hatton winning a 116--112 type of decision based on work rate.
If Hatton is allowed to fight his fight and maul Maidana on the inside then he most likely wins. However Maidana definitely has the power to hurt Hatton badly, and a stoppage win for El Chino wouldn't surprise me. I slightly favour Hatton, but I wouldn't be betting any money on it.
Would you pay to see this if it happened years ago? I think the first vid shows Hattons power more than matches up (keep in mind I know its a highlight but I've seen all these fights in real time, Hatton was a monster)
