Oh yeah definitely, it would've been a fun, back and fourth scrap. I still say that Maidana has better power though
The problem with Ricky Hatton is that he is one of the filthiest fighters of his generation.Holding and hitting,headbutts and shoulder assaults are all part of boxing,but they are illegal,but essential part of Hatton's attack.Having said that,if Dave Parriss were Hatton's ref in Manchester,and he were fighting Maidana there,I would bet every single cent I have,plus the house,plus the car,etc....on Hatton.Anywhere else,Maidana knocks his mother****ing overrated ass out.
We all know you hate Hatton mate, I've seen you before... so did I, till I saw his fighs when he was 20. And a few Amateur Kickboxing/Boxing matches. But since then, I've been a fan. He was a machine, a monster was the boy, no joke.
Hatton could barely handle feather fisted Collazo's workrate, there's no way in hell he handles Maidana's workrate and power.
I don't hate Hatton.I don't like him,but I don't hate him.Here's a list of fighters that I despise:Sugar Ray Leonard,Wilfredo Gomez,Vinnie Pazienza,Naseem Hamed and Ricardo Mayorga.Now,having said that,are you going to deny that Hatton was a flilthy fighter that utilized the illegal tactics that I previously mentioned?Please write that on record as I need to see it with my own 2 eyes.
Maidana couldn't stop Chop Chop, and he almost got beat by Morales (To be completely honest I picked Morales by bodyshots..) please be realistic..
I didn't like his tactics in the Tszyu fight, and I hate Dave Parris for personal reasons (the ref). However, This is all I can find of young Hatton, tell me this kid couldn't fight..

I NEVER DENIED HATTON COULD FIGHT,WTF??My point is that he was a filthy fighter and his fans are in complete denial about it.Do you not agree?Your credibility is on the line here.....
I think your hearing aid is on the line mate, if you look close enough you'll see I agreed with you..
