Was Ricky Hatton a good boxer?

Hit and hold, hit and hold
Repeat
Repeat

Yes he was in some wars, but he wrestled far too much for my liking and can be hard to watch

Very dirty fighter when fighting at home

Good handspeed
Good feet cutting the ring off
Had heart and stamina
Good body puncher
Face first brawler

But the holding was too much for. Big win against a faded Tzsyu, but he got away with murder, with the amount of hitting and holding

Very good fighter, but certainly not a great one

Hung around too long defending that trash wbu belt, before making the move. Found his level badly against Floyd and Manny. Cotto would also have bodied him

 

Loses to both imo and cotto knocks him out cold

 

Castillo got nothing from fighting Hatton
He took the fight to pay ones debt
1 or 12 it's the same pay
What did he do afterwards
This when boxing fans and fiighters bang on about older fighters
They just want that name
And said oap will accept a nice retirement fund
I know for a fact Barrera was stitch up v Khan at the men
Prep wise

 

That doesn’t answer my question. I’ll ask again. Who was the ‘ATG’ Kostya Tszyu‘s best ever win?

 

You could be right but they would have been fun to watch, just the styles alone plus the UK crowd in the back would make it fun.

 

Oh yeah your definitely right about Barrera, correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Barrera cut by a headbutt ? And they deliberately stopped the fight after 4 rounds to give Khan a technical decision ?

I'm not sure if my memory is off but that's how I remember it, I believe if 4 rounds aren't completed and a fighter is unable to continue due to a foul then it's a no contest right ? So pretty shrewd of them to wait 1 more round to give Khan a BS victory over a shot legend.

 

His only two legit losses were against the two greatest fighters of his generation and he went out on his shield against both so I rate him highly for that.

 

Nah, I’m not going down that path with you.

I’ll talk boxing with legitimate people. Idiots like you are best ignored. And anybody who says that a HoF, unified, P4P star with 14 title defences is not a fighter “of note” is a bona-fide moron.

Adios chump.

 

Very good fighter. underrated win for Floyd and Pac.

 

Oh no doubt and I think it would be maybe competitive early on. But cotto was a beast
Hatton can't do what pacquiao did, or margarito

To be honest though, it's a fight I think that got away. I woul have loved to watch hatton vs cotto at 140

 

You remember correct
Dont let people rewrite history
One as to learn from it

 

Hatton would have a chance at 140 vs Cotto who was alot more beatable and chinny at that weight.

 

Always thought the samething and it would have been a huge fight.

 

Nah, he was past his prime against Mayweather and way past his prime against Pacquiao.

Tszyu despite losing took many years off Hatton's prime.

 

From 140 to 147, He loses to Lopez, Regis, Crawford, Thurman, Taylor, Spence, Ennis, Ortiz Jr, Shawn Porter, Kell Brook.
