Ricky Haatton against the top Welters:

How does he do against:
Mayweather Loss
Cotto Loss
Williams Loss
Margarito Win
Mosely Loss
Cintron Loss
Judah Loss
Clottey Win
Baldomir Win

 

i think he only beats Judah and Baldomir in that list.

 

Mayweather by UD
Cotto KO
Williams UD
Margarito KO
Mosley UD
Cintron - Hatton KO
Judah - Hatton UD
Clottey UD
Baldomir - Hatton UD

 

We all know lefty-slicksters are Hatton's worst nightmare.. If Collazo can hurt him, Judah might knock his ass out.

The only sure win I'd give him is Baldomir. He'd probably beat Clottey too, but it would be a war..

 

i'd pick him against
cotto
mosely
baldomir
based on size

 

i would like to see hatton judah

 

He might beat Judah but would lose against everyone else due to the significant size and power difference. I suppose he could rough PBF up but would probably still end up losing on points.

 

He could only beat Baldomir.

 

I agree i think it would be a good matchup cause Hatton has that bulldog style where he constantly on you, and big punchers like Cintron need space to unload. I think Hatton would take it, but it would be interesting to watch!

 

Why? Judah just showed everyone that he cant handle pressure, against Mayweather, Baldomir, and Cotto...No need for this fight!

 

Mayweather - Hatton loses by a surprisingly close UD having giving Floyd some rough moments. Hatton really forces Floyd to fight, Hatton has very fast footwork and knows how to close the gap and get up close, meaning Floyd really has to get on his bike and stink the joint out to pull of this UD, but he does it, just. Either that or Floyd decides to trade, stand his ground, and Hatton forces Mayweather to fight the fight of his life. Either way I still pick Floyd. I think Hatton gives him his toughest fight south of 154lbs though.

Cotto - Hatton wins by late stoppage or UD in a real war. Cotto is a masterful boxer, but he's not always comfortable under when put pressure. He has lots of power but I dont think it will be enough to keep Hatton at bay like with other fighters. He hasn't enough power to keep Hatton from getting inside, where Hatton's relentless body attack gives him the edge in a real good fight. Cotto is very strong at 147lbs though and Hatton will not be able to bully Cotto around so easily. Close fight, 50/50 really.

Williams - Hatton loses. Williams would be a nightmare for Hatton, he should STAY AWAY. There's no way Hatton gets in close enough to do any damage to Williams. Hatton would look like a freak in the ring with him, 5ft6 - 6ft1 isn't right.

Margarito - Hatton wins. Not seen a great deal of margo before the Williams fight, but from what I know he has good power and is an accomplished technician. However he didn't have a high enough workrate against Williams, and Hatton is one of those fighters that can just keep throwing leather. Also, Margo is slick when he has space to operate and get his combo's off, but whats he like at dealing with the rough stuff? I think Hatton takes him by UD or late stoppage.

Mosely - Great fight, I slightly favour mosley but its hard to say. On the one hand Mosley has the better handspeed, punch power and technical ability, he's naturally bigger and he's just as good as Hatton up-close which neutralizes the Hitman's main strength. Mosley will be able to deal with Hatton's rough-house tactics, no questions asked. However, Hatton is much younger than Mosley and I don't think Mosley aged 36 will be able to last the pace that Hatton sets. I also think that Ricky is an underrated boxer, he might not be as good as the absolute elite like Mosley and PBF, but he's good enough to make it close. Tough call, I think Mosley wins the first half of the fight easily but Hatton shows heart and rallies to the take the later rounds. Either late TKO for Hatton or close UD Mosley.

Cintron - Hatton by KO. I don't see a lot in Cintron that Hatton couldn't deal with. Cintron has big power, good handspeed, but Hatton has an excellent chin and good reflexes. I don't see Cintron causing Hatton much trouble. KO for Ricky.

Judah - Hatton, but only just. I dont care if he's lost his last few fights, Zab Judah is a top-level world class operator who gives the best a hard time. Zab's handspeed and southpaw stance is hard to counter for Ricky at first, I see him being beaten to the punch for the first few rounds, but Hatton works well off the jab and so as Judah keeps throwing it after a few rounds it becomes predictable, and Hatton starts to time big left-hook's to the body and uppercuts off Zab's jab. Hatton grows in confidence in the middle-rounds and really starts to take the fight to Judah, who after landing his best shots early only to see Hatton walk through them, runs out of idea's. Hatton finishes strong with Judah tiring, taking a close UD. I imagine this fight would be harder for Ricky than it was for Miguel Cotto.

Clottey - Not seen enough of Clottey to comment.

Baldomir - Only seen Baldomir twice, once was when he beat Gatti and the other time was when he got spanked by Floyd. He seems quite tough, good fundamentals, with good fundamentals. I think Hatton takes it relatively easily, but its not as close as the Judah fight despite Baldo having beating Zab. Funny old world eh?

 

Losses:
Mayweather- Loses a close, but clear UD/SD
Cotto- It would be a war, but i think Cotto would have a strength advantage and win a close UD.
Williams- Paul Williams would be way too big for Hatton, he would beat him to an easy UD, possibly late TKO.

Wins:
Margarito- Margarito is slow and wild, IMO Hatton would beat him via UD.
Mosely- I dunno nowadays. Mosley-Hatton would be close, but i slightly favour Hatton at this in both their careers.
Cintron- I think he would beat Cintron, he looked good against Matthyse but i think Hatton would beat him by mid-round KO.
Judah- Judah would come out explosively as always, then fade away and lose the fight. Hatton late TKO.
Clottey- Hatton would win this fight, pretty easy UD.
Baldomir- Hatton would beat Baldo, no doubt in my mind.
