Hatton and its not even close. Only the mentally challenged or flag-waving, mulleted American "patriots" who can't stand to see an American get beat will vote for Judah.
yet you're happy to post likemindedly in favor of british fighters I knew pretty much what you had written as soon as I saw your name appear as most recent post...and that should worry you don't let petty posters who can't see beyond their allegiances pull you down to the same level
Zab and it's not very close. Hatton was able to win at the british level against names I've NEVER heard of - but once he came to the states he was thoroughly unimpressive. Zab fought anybody and every****ingbody - and Ricky was packing british glass….let's not forget he's the only fighter to be knocked out (or down) by floyd in the last 10yrs. Zab would send him to the moon.
^^ Who has ricky beat?? Shot collazo? old Kosta - whom he fouled into oblivion? sorry but his legacy is built on one ugly ass fight. Hell I'm not sure he beat friggin collazo...
Hmm... Pretty much equal but slight edge to Hatton perhaps. Judah probably only ever won 2 of his 8 or so biggest fights but Hatton doesn't have a stacked top of the resume either. As relating to the discussion on page 1... Judah won 3 of first 4. Then lost 6 straight. He was down 7-3. Then chaos ensued after Zab did some dirty business. Then the fight resumed with Judah losing the final 2. End result? 117-111 Mayweather
Hatton had a very decent chin up until his later career when the wars and booze etc caught up with him.
Paulie Malinaggi - Won TKO 11, Ricky dominated the fight completly bullied and out classed his opponent in this one. Kostya Tszyu - Won RTD 11, in a great back and forth affair Tszyu was resigned to sit out the final round with Ricky Hatton on top. Vince Phillips - Won UD, great display from the "Hitman" to dominate all 12 rounds vs. a former champion. Carlos Maussa - Won KO 9, The Hitman dominated in this unification. Luis Collazo - Won UD 12, Very close fight which went Hatton's way on points. This was a prime Collazo, for me the knock down Hatton scored in the first was the difference. Juan Urango - Won UD 12, great display to win every round against a world champion. Jose Luis Castillo - Won KO 4, This was the first time the great Castillo was ever knocked to the canvas. Very impressive display from the Hitman. Juan Lazcano - Won UD 12, dominated pretty much every round over a tough former champ. Some decent names.
Disagree. I'm happy to say when a British fighter is **** or overrated. Like Ricky Burns, I'm perfectly happy to admit he was a hypejob who would have lost against Gonzalez and should have lost against Beltran. Likewise the Londoner Andy Lee who is vastly overrated on here because he did well against a hypejob. He's Euro level at best and his recent performances prove that.
