lol at this thread no one gave hatton a chance in hell
but what ever ill be looking foward to meetng him whens hes inducted in to the ibhof in a couple years
Tszyu was in the right place at the right time.He beat some old timers, owned Zab, ect. but he was in now way an ATG. Props to him for going when it was time to go, though (even though he maintains he hasnt retired)
People shit on hatton greatness but lets us never forget that ricky hatton beat
tyzu who was by all account the greatest fighter ever at
140 if not top 3.
ricky hatton is a future hof in my book.
Why was Tszyu the greatest fighter at 140? He beat a bunch of old fighters. After he beat Judah he fought the killers row of Ben Tackie, Sharrmbae Mitchell, and JJ Leija. Not to mention he got drilled by Vince Phillips. He was inactive, had injuries. It's an overated win imo. Not enough to live your career off of it.

Jesus Christ, this post has nothing to do with Gatti! Gatti would get eaten by both Tyszu and Hatton. Gatti is a legend not for his boxing ability but for the fights he has been in and the heart he has shown. I really like Gatti don't get me wrong but the bottom line is that Tyszu, Mayweather, Hatton and Cotto would eat him up. Gatti would have a good battle against Mitchell because Mithchell doesn't have the power to take him out and Harris because they are about level pegging in the ability stakes - but that is as far as Gatti goes.
Bang on mate. Look at what Gatti had to go through to beat a journeyman in Micky Ward.

That doesnt include Mayweather are u crazy, Tszyu fights Mayweather victory Mayweather. Floyd is a way better boxer then Tszyu and moves alot better then Tszyu , who moves like a damn robot most of the times.
That's all nice and good, but hey...judah & mitchell both move better than KT (and so did alot of other fighters in the past 7 years) but it didn't help their cause did it? Tszyu is a pressure fighter who stalks his opponent around the ring, he is usually the agressor right? That's why is footwork isn't flashy, but it IS deliberate. He cuts off the ring and destroys opponents, it's that simple.
Tszyu eats him for breakfast. I like Hatton's workrate but Tszyu is a master boxer who is comfortable with his own style. He proved this against Tackie by putting on a clinic. Hatton just wouldn't be able to rush in and swing away...anyway, this fight won't happen..frank won't let it...Tszyu destroys anyone at 140, and that includes Mayweather..he's too small, and won't be able to take KT's power, Corley rocked him for Chrissakes!!

its not as one sided as many are making out but Id have to favour kostya on last weekends showing, be interesting to se how Hatton deals with Oliviera. Nice anylasis though Semjesa you may be right but Kostya will also work out tactics to fit hatton dont forget, I would love Ricky to do it to shut the naysayers up but as ive previously posted i think Kostya will go for gatti and leave Ricky to fight someone like Ndou fo the vacant strap.
I'll be there in Dec though its the same night as williams so having a few lads over to go to the hatotn fight which is only half hour away folm where i live in South east Laaaaandon, then back to shout on danny from midnite on, tip top cant wait!
dont think my neighbours will agree though :cool: ;) :D
I hope so. I would love to see hatton catch an ass whippin. Not that i dont like him, i just dont like how over protected he is.
Hatton wont get his ass whipped dude, its a 50-50 fight and anyone who says otherwaise is a fool and, or knows fuk all about boxing.
Hatton may get ko'd, but so may Kostya, Hatton fights upclose with a swarming style, which takes away the right hand, so then he has to worry about the left, easy he circles away from it with a high right hand and good lateral movement, which by the way is Hattons natural style so he hasbt got to make drastic changes to beat Kostya.
If you ask me Hatton has the perfect style to beat Kostya....
yea i dont see a decision but i dont kostya walking over gatti..gatti chances of winning r good and kostya cant take shots as well as everyone thinks mitchell had him hurt a couple times during the fight
im sorry but did you even watch saturdays fight?
Irish mickey ward gave gatti hell, sorry mate but Kostya is ten times better than Mickey who was a limited but extremelty brave fighter.
I think my friend your admiration for Gatti is clouding your judgement. It happens though Im no better sometimes!
Letting your heart rule rule your head I belive its called. ;) :cool:
I don't think Hatton is going to get any better than he is right now. Warren needs to let his charge go and challenge the best of the division. I think it'll be a great fight. I'd lean with Tyzsu, but i've never seen Hatton ever troubled and he has fought some names. It wouldn't be a walkover by any means.
Kostya vs Gatti would be DLH vs Gatti all over,maybe a fast stoppage or KO
yea i dont see a decision but i dont kostya walking over gatti..gatti chances of winning r good and kostya cant take shots as well as everyone thinks mitchell had him hurt a couple times during the fight
if gatti trys to out box him then shit unless the boxes the fight of his life he might have a chjance he has to get kostya in a slug fight to have a chance against mayweather ,kostya i cant see him out boxing floyd i see an easy victory for floyd..i just wanna see someone hit floyd clean so i can see if he can take a punch..i never seen him hurt from a punch
People thought Judah would beat Tszyu. Tszyu lit him up.
People thought Mitchell would win the rematch. Tszyu beat him down.
People thought Tackie would get in their and overpower Tszyu. Tszyu boxed his ass off.
He is too strong and too skilled for any of the current 140 lbers. He will find a way to win with EVERYONE.
This is true. I admit I thought Mitchell would win the rematch by a close decision because I didn't think Tszyu would comeback in the same form he was when he left. The only fighters I see right now possibly beating Kostya is Mayweather and with more fights under him Cotto.
