Ranking a Hatton victory...

Not up there with Turpin-Robinson or Honey-Curry but close to the latter. Certainly a better win than the others in that list....

 

top 3 easy.

mayweather is the p4p no1 ffs.

not just a good world champion but a great one.

 

Post War top 3 is probably fair...

 

Hatton at 2/1 is nothing like as big an outsider as say Honeyghan was over Curry, but it would probably be a bigger win.....Curry was perhaps rated top p4p by some at that time...but he was not establisehed in that position as Mayweather is. As things tuned out Curry was flawed and with a dodgy chin.
I say top 5 at least.

 

Hatton beating mayweather is right behind Turpin Vs Robinson- take those rose tinted glasses off

 

I agree. While Honeygan-Curry was a big surprise, I think we should all be able to agree that Mayweather is a greater boxer than Donald Curry.

 

I think it would rank alongside Benn-McClellan in terms of, absolutely no-one gave the former a chance.

 

McClellan was no Mayweather; so if Hatton wins...

Personally I would put this up with Turpin/RobinsonI, if Ricky wins.

 

mayweather is just a box of tricks compared with gerald though.

mcclellan could punch like a bugger.

mayweather is a fairy compared to g-man. :yep

 

McClellan was very one dimensional and if you were good enough to still be in the bout after six rounds, you beat him. Mayweather is a grade one arse hole, no doubt, but there is also no doubting his phenomenal talent.

 

I'm not picking this after the event, I won a lot of money on Benn at 5/2. The Yanks thought it was a sure thing but if you step up in weight to challenge a world champ who's a proven puncher then you are usually up against it.

The one I didn't see coming was Honey-Curry, its easy to forget but at the time people were saying Curry was good enough to skip 154 and step up to 160 and beat Hagler, he was really held in that high a regard.

 

Curry was a beautiful boxer wasn't he but in hindsight so flawed. Still love watching him though.... Norris-Curry was a brilliant little fight.

 

I don't agree that beating Mayweather is better then beating Robinson on any night- however think your point is an excellent one.

 

Same for Turpin though. Also, if you looked at the odds for the two fights I think Turpins was a bigger upset. But then, are we talking upsets or achievments?
