Which of these two fighters rank higher all time, Tomasz Adamek or Ricky Hatton?

Cruiser weight is a **** division. Adamak is solid but Hatton achieved more.

 

I'm a fan of both, and I hate to choose one over the other.

Right now, Hatton ranks higher. Adamek isn't finished yet, though.

 

Hatton because of the win against Kostya.....better than anything Adamek did so far...

 

Definitely Hatton as of now. . . Adamek's signature win is definitely Steve Cunningham, who IMO, before losing to Hernandez, was one of the best American fighters, and arguably deserving of top 12ish pound for pound. . .

The win over Arreola was also pretty impressive, but a lot closer htan some people think. . .

Beating Chambers is definitely the right direction to keep giong. . . If he can get a signature win at HW over a guy like Bryant Jennings, Seth Mitchell, or maybe even win the "title" from Povetkin, then I'd say he's prolly about even with Hatton. . .

 

Adamek's win over Steve Cunningham, who was PRIMED then, was pretty damn impressive IMO. . . That really proved Adamek was world class. . . Coming up from 175, to beat the best Cruiserweight in the world. . .

If Adamek can muster up 2-3 wins over some young, undefeated guys at HW, then I'd say it's pretty close. .


They are both two-weight champs. . Hatton was Collazo, and Tsyzu as his two best wins, IMO. . Adamek's are Arreola, and Cunningham.

 

I agree.

 

I don´t know man, I never thought that Cunningham was too good.....only a average fighter IMO.

 

hatton beat tsyzu. adamek beat.....:-(

 

Tomasz Adamek >>> Hypejob Hatton

 

Cunningham is definitely better than average boxer! He just never got credit, nor recognition cause of the invisible cruiserweight division. . . BTW, Cruiserweight is about to be on the map: Tarver, Lebedev, Huck, hernandez, Cunningham still there, masteurnek (spelling). . . Chakhiev, Kayode, Wlodarczyk, Pawel Kolodzj. . . ANd Australia's own BRAD PITT! (LOL, j/k, Pitt looks shite).

If Adamek can beat 3 more guys like Chambers, hten say Povetkin, and maybe a Seth Mitchell, etc. . . I do think it'd be close.

I mean, aside from Tsyzu, and Collazo, Hatton really doesn't have many class wins. . JLC was a solid win (what a wicked body shot too!), but everybody knows he was beyond past it. . .

I think Hatton IS underrated, but I don't think Adamek would be that far behind being a two-weight champ, and being one of the few 175 pounders to be competitive consistently at HW. . .

 

probably Ricky. Although Ricky was in divisions which get more notice.

 

He actually defended it twice, including a defense against an undefeated Steward-trained fighter:

Adamek had an impressive win over O'Neil Bell in the IBF title eliminator before he fought Cunningham.

He did get those knockdowns though, you can't take that away from him.

 

True - those were some decent quality wins. . .


Lol exactly. . . That's like saying "he wouldn't have won if he didn't hit him with those punches!"

 

Im sure the poll will be in favour of Hatton but its a popularity contest

Hatton lost both times by embarrassing KO when he faced someone of note in their prime, and please dont mention the Kotsa fight. how many low blows did we see again? the Mallignaggi fight was his best performance because he could apply pressure without the risk of getting hurt

Adamek fought and dropped a still top LHW in Dawson, Dropped a still top CW in Cunningham proving he could carry his power up to cruiserweight then moved up again to HW beating a top contender in Arreola and putting in a brave performance against one of the best HW's of all time in his attempt for a 3rd world title.

For me Adamek was more competetive when facing the top fighters in his division
