Ricky Hatton to fight De La Hoya.......

Ricky seems to be doing okay at the moment. If he loses, will he go back off the rails again?
Not worth the risk imo.

 

how the hell would that work de la hoya looked like a zombie in the pac fight at 147 so he's not going any lower than maybe 150-152 and hatton has never looked that great at 147. 150??? i just dont see this happening 2 fighters who are both shot to **** and havent fought in about 2 years...... im not going to lie though i would still go to the fight though

 

the 2 most overrated fighters of the last 20 years, easily.

it would have to be at 140, because from there to 147 Hatton goes from hero to zero. Remember that.

 

what you just said does'nt really make sense and in what way is odlh overated in his prime he was a fantastic fighter

 

He was. Oscar gets underrated if anything, simply because people dislike him for being a cheeseball, or cause they think he is a slimey con man, that said, it should not detract away from what a great fighter he was.

 

Oscar beats him above 147. He looked OK in the Forbes fight and I dont give a **** it was the weight that ****ed him up against Pac.

 

It's like the senior's tour in golf... I could sort of see this happening now more than I did when it was first mooted a few years ago. Back then, and following the DLH/Pac fight, Oscar was no longer considered a legitimate contest for a rehabilitated Hatton post-Mallignaggi. Now that they're both considered shot/finished/retired, they sort of have parity again. Might even do them both a bit of good - Post-Pac Violation Therapy... They could stick that on the posters!

 

how many of his big fights did he win?
and he needed bent judges to get a w against Sturm and Sweet Pea.


I mean he was still big betting favourite in the Mosley rematch, even though he got clearly beat in their first fight. That is overrated, the result of hype and marketing. You need to seperate the two things. Hatton is the same.
He was massive favourite over Pacman was DLH atsch

if that's not overrated then I don't know what is.

 

There's still a chance Ricky could find the itch.

Pointless fight but it would be fun to watch.

It's just a case of who is more shot, which is Hatton IMO.

Also can't see Hatton fighting at light middlewight.

 

Yeah but he should of won the Trinidad and the Mosley 2 fight and he didn't exactly get battered by Mayweather.

 

This is ****in stupidity at the highest level !!!!

Be interesting to see what weight they settle on , id be opening the betting @160 :deal

 

The Whitaker/DLH fight was extremely close, infact if you try and score that fight, its very difficult to score, simply because the rounds are being won so narrowly. I thought the fight should of been a draw, but that DLH edged it if I was forced to choose, people just act like he got a gift cause they love Pea, hate Oscar.

DLH got robbed in the rematch with Mosley, where were his bent judges then, where were his bent judges when he lost to Tito, another fight he should of won? DLH's resume should read, win over Mosley 2, Tito, but losses to Sturm, Quartey, he has lost as many bad decisions than what have gone for him.

He was favourite against Manny because he was perceived to be a bigger, more skilled opponent, which you could argue he was, just that no one had anticipated how much he had deteriorated.


You wanna talk about bum decisions? Toney got lucky against Rahman 1, McCallum 2, McGroom, Oquendo, Tiberi, as for overrated, the fact that he even lost to guys like Thadzi, should of lost to Tiberi, McGroom, Oquendo, tells it own story.


I dont think Toney is overrated, but neither was DLH, that said, you can find knocks on either fighter if look hard enough.
