Ricky Hatton's best win?

He fought well against Collazo actually but the jump up to 147 told. He won the fight though.

I thought the Castillo win was a good win too. Castillo looked fine to me, it was a fast paced, good action fight. Great stopage too, set the left up really nicely.


Have to be Tszyu though, who was coming off a good win over Mitchell. Hatton took a lot of shots that night. Arguably was never the same again. A real 'in the trenches' scrap.

 

Kosta was his best win, ageing or not... he unified belts in Carlos but he was pretty poor for a 'world' champ and I thought he lost to Collazo! Paulie is his second best win internationally and Thaxton/Tackie for domestic!

 

Ricky looked great against Mallignaggi, but Paulie is not top tier. Castillo really was shot, and Collazo and Urango were unconvincing performances for various reasons, maybe justified, maybe not. The victory over Tszyu gets little credit for a few reasons. One, people really liked Tszyu, for his acheivements, and also because he's a classy, humble and genuine guy - being beaten in the challenger's backyard, with a ref presiding who many considered partial was seen as rough justice. That he never fought again only added grist to the 'shot' argument, and his relative inactivity in the lead-up to the fight allows people to paint a picture of a fighter reaching the end of the road.

The counter to all of that is, Tszyu looked great in his previous fight - he'd blasted out Mitchell in under 3 rounds. Nobody forced him to fight in Manchester - he went there for a shitload of money. Regardless of the location, he was also the massive betting favourite leading up to the Hatton fight, and he didn't lose to a hometown decision - he quit. That's an immense achievement on Hatton's part. Nothing else he did comes anywhere near it, but most boxers would give anything to have even one night like that one to look back on.

 

Tszyu was his best win but to be honest I don't think he has one spectacular win at world level.

 

hattons best win was against eamon magee .

 

:smooch

That was his and his teams bull**** excuse, utter bollocks, if you see in there Hatton was much the stronger man in there, the fact they he didn't take Collazo that seriously and was getting pissed on more than one occasion while in camp was the real reason.

 

Oh and add to that Hatton is not actually that good well that's bit unfair i mean at the top end of the sport.
