Ricky Hatton vs Ken Buchanan at a catch weight.

Ken outclasses a brave Hatton. Too much overall skill would see him to a clear points verdict.

 

:goodI could not agree more

 

:deal

 

They could fight ten times and Buchanan would win ten times Buchanan was just that two levels above hatton

 

I don't think this is as one sided as people are making out.
Buchanan was a master boxer, a great technician but although he had respectable power I don't think he'd have enough to discourage Ricky, who would set a pace and be coming onto him all night.
Now I know Hatton isn't Duran but Buchanan never looked comfortable in their fight having to fight at a high intensity for virtually every second of every round and in all fairness to Hatton that was his forte.
I see a hard fought fight with Buchanan eking out a fairly close UD and having a few bruises and sore ribs to show for it along the way.

 

I don't really disagree with all of what you say, I just think Hatton's persistence and the fact he could make it a very messy fight, could just knock Buchanan out of his stride a bit and make it closer than what we think.
I said Ken had respectable power but I don't think he has enough to stop Hatton coming on although he'd score enough to get the decision.

 

ricky is really really big in comparison to ken in this fight and physically very strong.

 

Unfortunately Ken has nothing to deter Hatton. He would ONLY be able to out box him. I see it panning out like the Duran fight, with Hatton just bulling Buchanan to the ropes and lashing away to the body.

Whichever poster claimed KB was strong, is simply wrong. Particularly in relation to Hatton. Obviously I am talking about the pre Tzsyu Hatton. not what was left of him after the shots he took from Kostya.

 

Buchanan beats Hatton easy
