    How do you think this would have gone down best for best?
     
  2. None of the above X gets his ASSKICKED unless he tires to deal with slick Ricky the way he tried to deal with Frank ******.

    I don't really have a strong opinion, but i give Marsh a very good shot.Straight punches, excellent stamina and toughness, mobile enough to take the sting out of Hatton's early surges.Lack of athleticism would cost him at times though.

    Maybe Hatton at his very best was quick enough on his feet to turn it into a maulfest and grind out a close decision, but Marsh is the kind of tidy busy fighter who would pull the upset on a less than 100% Ricky.

    I remember Terry Marsh. Decent enough, but no power. Horrible to watch. I did my best to root for him when I was a kid, but he was so boring. He retired undefeated, though.

    No way he gets past Hatton. I don't remember Marsh fighting anyone of any quality. Hatton is a class above Marsh.

    Just looked at Marsh's record.

    It was interesting to notice that Marsh fought Joe Manley in 87 who fought Freddie Pendleton in 85 who did fight Hatton in 2001.

    I remember Pendleton, but didn't realise he'd had such a long career. He fought just about everyone.

    he was a kinda exciting figure outside the ring, I remember him being in the news often for the slightest minor event in his pomp before that diagnosis cut his career short.

    Marsh was set for a fight with Camacho before he was forced to retire, wasn't he?.

    No ****? That's quality. Was it epilepsy or diabetes I forget?

    How do you think he would have fared against MachoMan?

    epilepsy.

    I'm fairly sure Macho would have him, but Terry was fit enough to suprise him to a decision win too.
