Prime Ricky Hatton vs Todays LWW's

The judges will favor Hatton over Bradley.....

Brandon Rios is a little bit younger and weaker than prime Hatton, he gets worked over 12

Amir Khan won't get Hatton's respect, and Ricky Hatton ends it in a hurry during the 3rd round

Danny Garcia could probably win a UD, but will pay for being a slow starter. I believe Hatton will edge out a decision.

 

Lucas Matthysse might give him trouble...but Hatton would clean house at 140

 

Personally I think that's a bit of a stretch. Out of interest, where do you rank him?

 

I am a JMM fan but think Hatton would walk though him win by UD or late stoppage.

Too big, too strong and too fast at 140 in his Prime

JMM is better below 140

 

Bradley, Marquez, Lucas, and Rios beat him.

 

I could see all of those guys giving him a hell of a fight, but I don't think any (except Marquez) are really a 100% definite L for Hatton. He would have done very well in today's 140lb landscape for sure.

 

Threads like these show how the rose tinted goggles effect how boxing fans look back at fighters. In his heyday Hatton had so much criticism surrounding him. He retires and suddenly people think he can clear out today's fighters. BS.

 

My take on this. JMM and bradley, and especially Judah
shouldn't be discussed in this thread as the OP said TODAY'S
140 lb'ers. JMM and Bradley aren't interested in 140 lbs. These
guys are past that level as far as fights that interest them, so
the current crop we can fairly compare Hatton to would be Garcia,
Khan, Rios, and Matthysse.

Garcia=good figher but vastly overrated because of good timing.
Hatton effectively walks this kid down and neutralizes his best
weapons. He bangs the kids body and takes him to a place he
can't stand and ends it around 4.

Khan=Too fragile mentally and physically for a terror like the hitman
TKO 6

Rios= fight of the millenium candidate with the naturally slightly
stronger and faster Hatton hitting rios with too many effective
punches for the chicano to take. TKO 10

Mattysse= The most unpredictable outcome. The argentine is
the best of gthe bunch of aforementioned fighters and has the
power, size, and strength to make Hatton pay for his mistakes.
Lucas hasn't really been bested in his pro career yet so i'm
making this a slightly favorite win for Hatton but very narrowly.

I'm very confident he beats the rest when he was in his Tszyu
winning prime.

 

Matthysse and Marquez beat prime Ricky, Bradley is an interesting, Khan is a 50-50, Hatton fans, Ricky is no puncher

Hatton ducked Judah and Corley, Judah could easily do what Pacquaio did, too much speed and angles

Spinks and the guy Hatton ran from for 10 years

Yes Pacquaio who sparked Ricky in 2 couldn't atsch

 

You are kidding right? Matthysse would **** on Hatton. Hatton was one of those Frank ****** protected boxers. His best win is Tszyu, which was a good win. There is a reason Hatton was matched soft up until that point though.

 

This thread is about PRIME Ricky, Ricky was PRIME along time before he fought Pac...

 

:rofl:rofl

 

Pac fought the worst ever version of Hatton.......... to date

 

We dont know what he has got left.
He might not beat any of them.

 

anyone who thinks Hatton was at his best in the pacquiao fight is beyond ignorant
