Would Katsidas kill Hatton in the ring?

Great Post MSTR.
Every one here is just gone for the fact that because Hatton has wins against better oppisition they keep over looking the fact that styles make fights.
And with these two guys styles both men have every chance to win with there power there sloppy defence and there average chins.

Its that simple.
Casamayor has hardly ever been hurt his entire career. Yet Katsidis had him ****ed and through the ropes yet that to some means nothing because Casamayor isnt as good as Hatton.

Styles make fights and this fight is for the fans that would love to see it and im one of them.

 

using Amonost as an example is pretty bad bro, and Kats getting bashed up as much as he did agaisnt someone of his calibre is pretty **** poor..
trying nation pride out te equation, Hatton is in a totally different league

 

Gents - lets clear this up.

Collazo is a southpaw and hardly feather fisted at WELTERWEIGHT - had a fair few fights at light middle, and Hatton ALWAYS looks **** against southpaws.

Magee was a coming of age for Hatton. For the first time he took notice of the trash talk in the media and tried to take Eamon's head off, and got dumped in the first (flash KD) and hammered in the second (genuine) before outboxing him to a wide UD. Magee & Hatton are now great mates, strangely enough.

Mayweather is hardly feather fisted, having almost 66% KO ratio - and a number of his fights have been against larger men (Baldo, DLH etc).

Hatton is in a totally different league to Katsidis - decked by Graham Earl, who was subsequently blown away by Amir Khan in 72 seconds. Not that it amounts to a string of beans, but offers an indication.

The Greek Warrior may be a great entertainer, but elite he ain't.

 

You have two different guys one guy
Hatton who is a better fighter Yes i will agree with this but to come out start saying that Katsidis is a bum and not worthy.
This is BS. Uk fans think the same thing about Katsidis they all think he cant fight. But i can tell you this he isnt afraid to fight anywhere or anyone like a Mr Ricky Fatton is.
Took Hatton 3 Years to man up to facing PBF and dont get me started about facing Witter.
Yet Katsidis was ready to go against Guzman then Joan pulled out some lame excuse, then he wanted Juan Diaz but Diaz lost so he went after Casamayor.

Yet Katsidis is called a bum and so and so by the fans that watched Hatton not fight for a title until his 39th Pro fight. When Katsidis already won a title in his 22nd Pro fight. Yet you call Katsidis a B level fighter or one other comment was a TV Level fighter.

I feel some on this board need to read before they type and make judgements on a guy that would fight anyone and give everyone there moneys worth when they Pay to watch unlike one R.Hatton.

Yes Hatton wins and Yes he has decent fight worthy of watching in every 3 but to say what has been said when truely i feel yes Hatton might win but who cares because if this fight went ahead who really wins is us the fans.

 

Yep exactly

I think people are missing the variables here that make this a competitive fight.

Kat's actually stylistically suited to not overly technical, pressure type fighter like Hatton.

Hatton has advantages here. He's more well rounded for sure, but that only pays off if he can hurt Kat like Casa did.

Casa was able to distance Kat, which is why he started walking head first into well timed shots, obviously this increases their effect and stunned Kat silly.

Hatton and Kat play this one out like they always do, feverishly attacking without abandon.

Kat would lose to worse fighters than Hatton, I've always said at this point Kat gets beat by smart, accurate, patient opponents, however Hatton doesn't always apply these characteristics and could very well get hurt himself.

By the way my argument is only that this is more competitive due to styles, my feeling is Hatton has to much to offer still and Kat's chin is worrying.

 

Do you really expect to be taken seriously when you demean yourself with silly comments like that?atsch

 

If graham earl can give kats alot of trouble why wouldn't hatton just tear straight through him.

 

I'll take that as a complement from a bullshitter like you, Jizm.

 

what fighter would that be:huh

 

No you picked Kat because you hate on Hatton, Calzaghe and any British fighter there is.

I like Kat, he is exciting and has the right attitude. But he has beaten nobody of any note at all.
Sorry but when the best someone can offer is Ranee Ganoy and then try and hype up a guy who has a 24-10 record and who has been KOd 5 times by either nobodies or decent fighters with no pop like Rabah it is a farce.

I am now told that fights from 2002, 2003 and 2004 don't mean anything, ****ing Ranee Ganoy is a "machine".
Because he has one excellent win over Robbie Peden, and whilst that win deserves respect, Peden had been out for 2 years, so time will tell if he actually has anything close to what he had in his prime.

Kat went life and death with a shot Graham Earl was European level at his best. Everyone in Britain knew Earl was shot and expected him to get blasted out and he nearly did, but he sucked up the shots and then nearly stopped Kat. He then ate clean bombs for the next 3 rounds and fired back, actually getting the better in a few exchanges and was right in the fight when his corner pulled him out.

This is a guy who was Euro level at his peak, who was over the hill and who was destroyed inside 60 seconds in his next bout, and people here are trying to tell us that Kat ruined him.:roll:

So Kat bangs out against average lightweights and has good power which dropped and hurt Casamayor. Suddenly Casamayor has never been dropped, even though he has been floored by 4 fighters before Kat and was down in his last bout, and is past it.

Styles do make fights and Kat has a punchers chance and that is it. Even then Hatton has been most hurt by fast, accurate shots he has not seen coming and not telegraphed bombs. I don't give Kat much chance at all, someone saying they do is fine.

Someone saying he would kill Hatton, when Kat has stepped up in class once and been stopped and does not have a single quality name on his record is a total joke.

 

So fighting a 40 year Phillips, a 38 Year old Pendleton, a 36 Year old Maussa, a 35 year old Oliviera, a 36 Year old Tszyu, a 37 year old Pep, a 34 year old Castillo. Now you cant say i think he wasnt over protected and hasnt got the same size nuts Katsidis has.

My comments are the truth. You expect me to say Hatton is some sort of higher power that is on the verge of greatness when its more likely that he has the most protected record known to man kind.

Waits 2 years to fight PBF, has fought 4 times outside the UK in 44 Pro fights.
in 44 Pro fights has had 7 Title fights.
Katsidis has had 3 Title fights in just 24 bouts aswell as 3 outside Australia already.

I dont see what your trying to get at.
Should i get started about who Hatton fought in his 24th Pro fight.

Yep you guessed it Jason Rowland for the WBU title of the World.

So we will see how or what Katsidis has achieved at the same age and the same amount of fights as Hatton before you pass judgement. Thats still what 20 more Pro fights for Katsidis bfore you can say weather Katsidis is better or not.

If were talking today Hatton is better but and would probably win but to count Katsidis out do at your own peril but if say Katsidis was to fight Hatton in 2 years when i feel Katsidis will be at his peak i would pick Katsidis.

Boxing is all about timing. YES.
