Ray Mancini Vs Ricky Hatton

Hatton

 

pat cowdell went 15 rounds with a prime salvador sanchez
Ask yourself, "How many rounds would it take hamed to utterly destroy pat cowdell?" one round!
a = b -c + d take away the number you first thought off means **** all.

mancini was not a big puncher, and he was small for a lightweight.

 

Hatton is a better fighter then Mancini, don't get me wrong "Boom Boom" was very fun to watch but the truth is he would have lost to the bigger and better Hatton.

 

mancini was always overhyped at the time,and it appears that hugging is still prevalent even to this day.in some ways on that score he's a latter day hatton,but i honestly think hatton would have beat him up.mancini was not that great.

 

I agree, but not just on one level. When I was boxing in the northeast in the early 80's. (amateur only) my club also had a few old pro's that trained there. As a kid I loved to sit around after I worked out, and listen to the fighters and the trainers talk about the people fighting at that time. One of the things I remember is the low opinion that they all had of Mancini as a fighter. Which struck me as odd because he was the biggest thing around on TV at the time. The rap was that he was a white fighter who had an exciting style, a good punch, and was a good kid. In other words they loved him on TV, he sold, he made people money, and nobody wanted that to go away. But there were many better fighters out there, and when had to face them he would lose. Which by the way is exactly what happened. But as we know boxing in the end is more about money than talent sometimes. As I got more experienced, and learned to note certain things, Like who people are fighting, and who people are avoiding. I got a better feel for just how good fighters are. On this site people often try to beat me up as I am critical of some popular fighters. But in the end its who you beat, and who you lose to that will tell the true story. Not just titles, wins and losses.

 

Mancini did a lot more than Hatton, I can't see comparing them till Hatton has a few more title fights, or beats a few big name oppoents.

 

I think Hatton would win this, probably via late stoppage. Hatton is a big 140; Mancini wasn't really that big of a lightweight. Ray also was willing to take alot of punishment to get his out, and that's not a smart way to fight Hatton when Ricky's the bigger man.

 

Boom Boom

 

i agree,mancini was seen as a nice kid with a pleasing style with a little bit of charisma who's persona always was bigger than his talent.i think people like yourself from inside of the game could see this more than say a fair percentage of his more hugging fans.that overrating of his talents is obviously still prevalent today long after he's retired.

 

Like what exactly? PBF was way better than any fighter that Mancini ever faced?

 

yea Mancini would get the 1st one...Mancini was a better boxer but ricky was stronger

 

Great fight, Mancini just.

 

theres only 1 ricky hatton-ricky would kill him inside 7 rounds- with one of his castillo body shots- he would hve beat pbf if it wasnt for the referee

 

I like both of them. I most likely see Hatton winning a close decision or stoppage on cuts. I don't believe either guy is getting KO'd by the other. I think hatton would be a little more physical and land the more telling blows. mancini would be willing to make this a war and it would be! and that is probably the only pick that is a lock!

 

Mancini was matched too soon with Arguello, he was only 19 at time, and his manager was an idiot. Dave Wolf was a writer and publicist, who had just gotten into boxing as manager, and through Mancini in too quick. Mancini gave good account of self, and showed a lot by coming back from pounding he took over last few rounds to win title years later.
