    Mayweather avoided Tzysu?:lol:

    Hatton would have lost to the fighters Lucas lost to. Hatton was fortunate he was able to fight two name past their prime fighters.

    Hatton had no business shearing the ring with Pac and May. However, due to he's fanatics he got the undeserving sweet stake and got exposed for what he was.

    Hatton was unstoppable until he ran into you know who. He had no confidence after getting KTFO. Probably more mental than anything.

    Ricky Hatton was a coddled fighter. When he stepped up he learned that coke&booze don't work. Ricky Fatton will be remembered for his pub brawls more than his chinny wars

    I think people underrate the body work Floyd put on him.

    All the up and down weight issues Hatton had his body was his weakness. Hatton's footwork and ability to get inside were great, but when he came up against a fighter that can fight inside it caught up to him.

    Matthysse, Provo and Garcia are all very tough fights for Hatton. All those fighters are dogs that come to fight as does Hatton. If Garcia fought the Hatton post Floyd, he KO's him. Garcia preys on Guys that trade with him.

    I will like to see Angel Garcia's reaction when he hears that someone had said his would have beaten by Hatton.

    I'd take a peak Hatton to beat Garcia but to lose against Matthysse.

    Garcia > Matthysse, but styles make fights.

    True, Styles makes fights. To me Hatton beat a guy more similar to Mathysse in Tsyzu than a guy that times or catches and shoots like Garcia.

    Prime Hatton fought a lot of not-so-good fighters.

    I like the guy but he was one dimensional. He did beat Kostya at the end of his reign and he did beat Castillo in brutal fashion. Then went straight for the money fight (no pun) and he came up short. He was a good domestic level fighter who took his opportunity when it came.

    He also beat Collazo, Malignaggi and Urango, and these guys are still around now.

    Malignaggi and Urango were champs not so long ago.

    At 140 Hatton was a problem at 147lbs his first fight vs Collazo was an eye opener. On paper he won the fight though a lot of him was left in the ring that night Luis gave him a proper ass whipping.
