    we need this in context. Hatton is not a hard puncher....he wares opponents down with relentless punches, headbutts,elbows etc. Look at Hopkins KO of DLH...Hopkins ain't a big one punch KO man either. Almost all Hatton's wins come from waring his man down by accumulation of aforementioned blows.

    I fully understood the post.

    You likened an average person, to a 10 year old girl. Your post in essence was demeaning Hatton's punch power. The purpose of your post was to simply make light of what has been scientifically proven hard hitting. You can play with the semantics as much as you like, and believe me. I'm not crying.

    No one said he had the best one punch KO power, but he is a hard puncher. See above.

    I read an article that said scientists at a Welsh university had discovered that Enzo Mac hits with the same force as a transit van at 30 mph. I came to the conclusion that either the article was just made up, or Welsh universities are equivalent to what we call 'special schools'.

    Thats bull****. NASA tried to test Sugar Charlies punching power but the impact destroyed the equiptment so we don't have any real evidence of his punching power.

    I think Hatton is not as powerful at 147 as he was at 140. Machine calculations don't mean ****. True opponents, especially highly skilled ones, can neutralize punching power.


    A knockout will come in different ways. Like hitting an opponent on the right spot. Not just because a machine says so.

    that was done on blue peter when one of the presenters was preparing for an amateur bout, and they compared his punching power with enzos.

    Ricky hurries into action, renewing the rough body attack breathlessly, wrestling inside endlessly, keeping up the punishing, enormous pace and that somehow amplifies his less visible punching power. Down the line, it doesn’t come about to abruptly snatch his opponent with the one punch like he was able to against Castillo but to take them apart bit by bit by the accumulation of punishment like against Tszyu. Whatever the consequences, whatever the cost, he goes for all or nothing, as unaware of the sense of danger itself, suits him just fine getting tagged while he nails his opponent good, and since he unconditionally takes the initiative, tends to transform every fight of his into a sordid game of who wants it the most, who is about to endure more pain to overcome the other and has found no match at it as yet.
    At the brightest of spotlights and put against different styles such as sharp-shooter Zab Judah, relentlessly aggressive Carlos Baldomir and bigger, charismatic Oscar De la Hoya, Floyd Mayweather used graceful mobility, great ringside generalship, peripheral vision, defensive skills and successful counter measures such as lightning fast, sharp counter punching. Mayweather proved nothing less than being too clever to be out-witted and simply out-manoeuvred the big names helplessly in his way to victory… So much so that he comes back from announced retirement just to prove himself superior to another unbeaten superstar in the making, Ricky Hatton, who simply happened to look better than him in dismantling that one past opponent of his, said to have given him the toughest fights to date and also unfairly decisioned once, now weary Jose Luis Castillo.
    My pick: Floyd Mayweather's punches are crisper and harder than Hatton's but Hatton's chin is better than Mayweather's ( which is also very good)...

    I'm sure Hatton hits like a bull, that still won't tell the difference in his fight with PBF.........the difference in skill might be to wide a gap between Ricky and PBF we will see how wide in December.

    I'm not surprised at the support Hatton is getting....he's a likable guy and fights with heart and determination. I just don't see the hype behind him when comparing him to a fighter like PBF in the skill department, they just don't compare. Though its obvious PBF does not compare in the balls department, Hattons gonans are quite large.
