He should have retired after Calazo ... He used to train harder than Manny then just in it cause he didnt know what else to do ... Should have put in the defense against the German guy after Tzyu. Hardest body punch I ever heard. Nice video. To bad Mayweather didnt fight Hatton at 140 ... What if ...
One of the modern greats. Would have beaten Floyd at 140 with neutral ref. Would have been nightmare for Manny if wasnt shot to smithereens. Hugely underrated
at 140 with a neutral ref, its anyones. ricky walked through kostyas best shots to maul him on the inside. floyds shots would feel like tickles after that. cortez ****ed ricky over something terrible in that fight
I like ricky but he's just not in the same class as Pacquiao / Mayweather. He's a really good fighter at 140, but he had too many flaws to compete with top elite fighters.
But the problem with that assumption is that Hatton has one of the worst defenses ever. While Mayweather's D (as well as his timing and accuracy) is the best since Sweet Peas. It probably wouldn't be a TKO for Floyd, but he would pot shot his way to victory, and make Hatton look stupid again.
Yeah, keep believing that. Hop in your time machine and bring back any version of Hatton you want, and today's Mayweather and Pacquiao would still beat him 10 times out of 10. The Mayweather of 140 would have done a job on him, too.
Oh, and it would have been nice to include the Pacquiao fight. Yes it was mostly him getting his face pounded, but so were the Collazo and Mayweather fights.
