Ray Mancini Vs Ricky Hatton

with mancini winning the first right? ...i don't see no problem at all with this outcome ..even though i feel mancini is the better fighter ...

 

Mancini mistake was he tried to box Arguello, and was worn down, and stopped by the first really clean shot he was hit with. Actually I think he should have tried to go toe-to-toe with Arguello form the start, he may have gotten lucky? Which is what he needed to win.

Hatton was roughed up by who besides PBF?

I think PBF would have stopped Arguello, or Mancini.

 

Mancinni went nearly 14 rounds with Arguello. Hatton simply does not have the speed, skill, or heart of a prime Mancinni! Ask yourself, "How many rounds would it take Arguello to utterly destroy Ricky Hatton?" Five rounds! Hatton would last about 9 to 10 rounds with Mancinni.

Your right about a style matchup between Arguello and Hatton. That is a totally different fight, and doesn't mean Mancini could beat Hatton. I do think Hatton has the skill to beat Mancini, but they fight differently so its not a clear picture. I think Hatton is stronger, and rougher on the inside. I think he is slightly quicker, and slightly harder to hit than Mancini. I also think chin wise Hatton has a slight edge. Mancini hits harder with a single clean shot to the head, while I think Hattton is a better body puncher. I also think Hatton is better conditioned over a long fight. I think the longer this fight goes the better for Hatton. Look to the first Bramble fight, Mancini was winning and then faded, and stopped in that rough inside fight. If Hatton can weather the first few rds he would come on to win.

 

Mancini is better, tougher and knocks Hatton's ass out.

 

look at the fights with calzo .. and the other cat he fought prior to the castillio fight ...those were some hard fights for him! ..

i'm no hatton hater...but the guy is highly limited thats all i'm saying...

then agian mancini is no arnold palmer of boxing neither ...

 

my word there's some overrating of mancini on here and now certainly an underrating of hatton.i think hatton busts him up and stops him inside 10 rounds.mancini struggled to beat another brit in world terms no more than a journeyman in george feeney.although mancini had decent boxing skills his defence wasn't exactly water tight,i actually think it's not even that hard of a nights work for hatton.

 

theres not even rateing going on ron ... mancini fought some of the best fighters ever to enter the ring ... hatton spent the first 6 or 7 years fighting nobodies... thats not the fans fault .. and i'm not going to let that be mancinis fault .. mancini is just the better fighter

 

well it's all about opinion.the question was who wins?and to me hatton is too much for mancini.

 

the battle of bodyshots....this would be an awesome matchup and Mancini would win.

 

I think your wrong on every single point, and PLEASE do not mistake the post Kim version of Mancini for the same guy who fought Arguello! That's where most people go wrong. The Du Ku Kim incident ruined Ray.

I'm thinking of Mancini at his very best, which in my opinion was his title fight with Arturo Frias, (or maybe his win over Jose Luis Ramirez. ) As a point of fact name me all the big name fighters that Mancini defeated? And PLEASE don't name the over the hill version of featherweight Bobby Chacon. This is what everyone gets wrong about Mancini. He was an exciting fighter, a good puncher and a nice kid. However other than Frias he LOST to every name fighter he fought. Arguello, BrambleX2, Camacho, and Haguen. Not that Hatton has fought all that great of guys either, however don't fall into this same hero worship that so many people do with Mancini. You have to look at who he fought. Also there were many other great lightweights/ltwelterweights around at that time, that he
never fought? Why? At least Hatton is trying to fight the best around.

 

The important point here is that he LOST to all the great fighters he fought. Plus he didn't fight all the best that were around at the time his was fighting (79-85.) What about Vinny Pazienza, Edwin Rosario, Howard Davis, Jr, Edwin Viruet, Sean O'Grady, Hilmer Kenty, Frankie Randall, That is just a few names. There was a HUGE list of talent from 135-140 lbs during that time. Mancini was very careful about who he fought.

 

Mancini easy I like Hatton but this is an easy one.
