Mayorga obivoulsy isnt the best boxer around but that guy can take a punch like none other in the sport. Forrest was not a huge puncher but was very accurate and did have the big punch in him. Obviosuly Trinidad is a huge puncher and Mayorga took some bombs before being dropped in the 8th. Hatton can punch like hell also but Mayorga can take basically anyones punch at 147. I would also go with Ricardo.

Some bombs he took 8 rounds of non stop bombs moving up in weight to fight one of the hardest punchers in the sport. Incredible performance by tito though maybe he lost some power maybe mayorgas chin is granite literally. Mayorga would beat hatton if mayorga could walk through everything tito had to offer for 8 rounds hattons punches will feel like being hit with pillows. Only thing that could stop him and its very possible is mayorga is out of shape like he was in the tito fight and he gets ripped with the relentless body assault of hatton. That is the only way hatton can win overall mayorga by 9th round tko.

just as rjj said tito could knock mayorga out by going to the body he went to the body and down went mayorga.

Personally I would favor Hatton. He can do a lot more in the ring and would be able to cruch Mayorga ribs all night long, Moyorga has no jab whatsoever. It be a ***** of a fight though, either guy could get DQ'ed.

would anyone consider tito not being able to ko mayorga till the 8th with all the hard shots he was landing a sign of things to come and that tito wasnt the same tito? i sort of get that impression but im not sure.

Yeah it would be interesting because Hatton is a Jr Welter and Mayorga is a Middleweight.

I mean heck.....Hatton would have to lose 50 pounds to make Mayorgas weight class.

Yeah, these people musnt have seen the hitman enough. Put a highly skilled pressure fighter in with a brawler and its easy work.

I know mate. Mayorga's tough but he's got no real skills at all. Hatton would hit him so much that he may even wear him down and stop him late.

im a huge fan of mayo. but i think hatton by decision. i'd be rooting for the mayo KO

It's easy... Hatton can't take Mayorga's punch (as wild and looping as it may be) and Mayorga can take Hatton's punch. I am not sold on Hatton yet, he needs to fight some more "real" fighters before I am convinced.

Easy win for Mayorga...but Hatton is not going up to 147 nor is Mayo going down to 154.

Mayorga's power is more overrated than Tyson's ability to win a heavyweight title at age 40. HE HAD ONE KNOCKOUT IN THE LAST 2 YEARS and even then Forrest could have continued. His power is not that good.

Man Hattons punch would be like a babys arm to mayorgas chin! mayorga can take that punch! but damn I want this fight to happen! hatton moving up he will lack even more power and he will probally be slower so mayo will knock his block off!

I still want vargas to fight mayo!

mayorga in his prime at 147 against hatton/parris in england. mayorga is disqualified early after out fouling hatton.

mayorga in his prime/hatton in thailand. the use of elbows,headbutts,forearms,low blows and hitting to the back of the head is allowed. mayorga hands down.

You don't beat Kostya Tzsyu with luck you have to have a little skill. This would be a great fight in the first half of the fight with action going both ways but ultimately Ricardo's wild swinging will get him in trouble. Then Ricky will give him an uppercut to the groin and that's all she wrote. :D hehe j/k. Good fight matchup but Hatton will win.

Possibly my two fav fighters at the moment, Mayorga's total lack of disipline would cost him though

Tszyu punches harder, Mayorga can punch but not as hard as Tszyu. Mayorga swings wild too, Tszyu's more accurate so what makes people think Mayorga has better chance of KOing Hatton than Tszyu i dont know?? :confused:

Looking at Tito's win over Mayorga you have to say Hatton would butcher him. Spinks beat him too, there's no real doubt that Hatton's better than Spinks, who IMO is overated.

so whats everyone talking about then? if hatton took the best tszyu gave him hed definately take mayorgas punch.

if youv watched the hitman throughout his career you will know that body punching is his forte and if tito beat mayorga with an assault to the body then i think ricky will beat him...im not comparing ricky to tito just pointing out that ricky is a devistating body puncher.

obviously if they were to meet it would be at 147 and this could take a little power out of rickys punches but with his work rate and crunching body punches i see late round stoppage or UD.

Pooch, u'v said u havent seen Mayorga fight. Big mistake, watch his Forrest fights, or Lewis fight. U seriously will reconsider.

Oh and Mayorga is 100x tougher than Hatton. He will take Hattons pillows all day long. Considering he took Tito's flush bombs for 8 straight rounds.

Comfortable points win for Hatton at 147.

:confused: Huh? You seriously can't be overrating Hatton that much.

Hatton doesn't have one-punch power at 140. Mayorga DID have it at 147.

Hatton weighs about 1457 around fight time. Mayorga weighs about 160.

Mayorga took Tito's punches dead on the chin for 8 rounds. Hatton never has and never will face a murderous puncher like Tito because he has the luxury of being a 140 lbs fighter.

This is a simple answer. Mayorga would stop Hatton. However tough Hatton is, Mayorga is that much tougher. Hatton has nothing to discourage Mayorga. Forrest, who is a better boxer than Hatton, got stopped and lost a decision to Mayorga in two fights. Forrest was the only one to give Mayo problems from a boxing standpoint, and Hatton has NONE of the advantages that Forrest enjoyed over Mayorga (height, reach, jab, etc.).

And if you think Hatton will beat Mayo by brawling and getting in his grill, then you may be best friends with Crack Cocaine.

Mayorga's nothing but a wild swinging brawler with little boxing skill, i'm not going to lie about my opinions. i seriously doubt Hatton could get beat by him, barring a freak KO. Everyone swings on Mayorga's balls since the Forrest win, its only because Forrest fought like an idiot against him that it happened.

No one is beating Hatton?? thats a guess because the only time i've mentioned Hatton vs top class opponents i've said theres a chance he could get beat. Put him in with Mayweather, Margarito or Castillo then theres a chance of him being beat. possibly Judah too, but i doubt that a clever fighter like Hatton would fall for his predictable attacks.

If you can see into the future then let me know who's going to beat Hatton, if not then your list of fighters who in your opinion could beat Hatton are pretty much worthless too me.

I've watched Mayorga's recent career fights over the last few years and the whole of Hatton's career. I just dont see why anyone could pick Mayorga to win, i'd maybe back him if the odds were good but as a 50/50 decision i'd say Hatton everytime.

Tito was once a great fighter but i think a lot of people have forgotten what made Tito a superstar in the first place, he's far worst a fighter now then he's ever been, his current balance is terrible for a top class fighter but even a shadow of his former self dominated Mayorga, then you have to consider how Winky dominated Tito. A top class fighter will beat Mayorga's ass, even a decent but nothing special fighter like Spinks beat Mayorga's ass when he stuck to his game plan.

You're seriously overating Mayorga that much? I thought you had a pretty decent eye. KT is easily in the same ball park p4p as Tito when it comes to power, and he's a lot more effective at landing his shots. And how do you know that Mayorga's that much tougher than Hatton?


What makes you think that Hatton would walk onto his slow looping bombs anyway when he has just avoided Tszyu's accurate, quick ones for 11 rounds?

Mayorga has negligible technique and would be heavily outlanded. If you think that Hatton is that light of a puncher that even that sort of volume would have no effect on Mayorga and that he would just walk through Hatton's shots for 12 rounds then it sounds like you're the one hitting the pipe my friend. Taking Tito's bombs says nothing about Mayorga's resistance to the sustained body attack that Hatton would apply. Mayorga would struggle to win a round without a KD and there's no guarantee that he'd get one. Hatton's chin has only ever looked very solid and moving up to 147 would only benefit Hatton's game, assuming he retains his speed.

Bruising fight but wide points margin for Hatton.

I pick Hatton for the reason that mayorga tends to be very ****y to the point of being stupid most of the time. Remember his fight against tito? :boxing:
