Hatton to me is a Ray Mancini and although Ray fought at 135 he easily could make 140 these two have similar styles who is better skilled and who wins one on one?
Agree on the Hatton/Mancini comparison, they are the same level of fighter, but Hatton is the slightly bigger version, and so he should come out on top in a close points win or late stoppage.
In terms of things like height and reach they should be around the same, Hatton though was a little more stocky.
I looked it up Mancini is 5'4 and a half and Hatton 5' 6 and both have a reach of 65 inches. I think Hatton is really 5'5and a half. Floyed is 5'8 and he towerd over Rick. But thats what they claim Officially.
Mancini seems stockier if I remember but Hatton is apparantly the bigger guy by 2 inches and they have the same reach.
Go over to you tube and watch Arguello vs Mancinni. I believe the whole fight is there. Go watch that and Mancinni/Kim, and then bring your sorry asses back here and try to convince me that Ray would do anything less than eat Hatton for a ****ing snack. Boo
Wow! This would be a great fight! Mancini is propbably my favorite of the two, although I also like hatton among todays guys. They would not have to work hard to find the other guy. Hattons pressure is just a lot more physical in my book. Hatton would be behind on points (slimly) as the fight hits the double diget rds....and closes it on a ko or cuts in 11 or 12.
I've seen them both and see little in either to make me confident in any result. Hattons bigger and faster but with a lousy defense. To say one would definately 'eat the other for a ****ing snack' is preposterous without sound analysis to back it up.
I think Hatton would be a lot bigger come fight night. Also i think he is more rounded than macnicini and could stop him late.
