Ricky 'The Hit Man' Hatton....is no joke...

Yep! He sure did!

er...his last fight was in London, he's fought there before, and America. WAKE DA FUK UP! ;) Oh wow he went all the way to London huh.

Wake me Hatton grows a pair and decides to fight outside of Manchester. er...his last fight was in London, he's fought there before, and America. WAKE DA FUK UP! ;)

ya i never seen this hatton guy fight but sounds to me his impressive i'll look out for him his next fight

Many people have been dissin this guy, and I have no idea why. When Hatton fights Kostya he will beat him.... Wake me Hatton grows a pair and decides to fight outside of Manchester.

I saw Cotto for the first time, and thought he was good but not as great as id heard. Kostya versus Cotto would be great, Hatton i think is a little too open, and doesnt have a strong enough chin. Has Kostya ever been knocked down, or seriously hurt?

What makes you so sure Hatton would fight like he did against, let's say Oliveira? If he can get away with hard punches and exposing himself? Why not do it? I highly doubt he will fight like that against Tszyu, imo he will fight with more control. He can adapt - Just check the Tackie fight. Hatton CAN actually box. True, thats a good point. I saw Hattons last fight, and couldnt help but think that he was open to a straight right hand, and Kostya would take his head off! But if he's smart, he'll box and use the jab. But could he go the whole fight without gettin tagged?? I dont think so. Could Hatto hurt Kostya?

I been watching a couple of Hattons recent fights. I give Hatton hardly no chance of beating Tsyzu. The way he fights is like gatti. He punches hard and leaves himself expose for a period of time. Against bums, u get away. Against good counter puncher (mayweather, Zab) or fit strong guys (Cotto, Tsyzu), u will get KTFO. later What makes you so sure Hatton would fight like he did against, let's say Oliveira?

Hatton & all of his fans are in for a rude awakening. He's going to to get stretched in this fight. KT accuracy & power spell danger for the head-first Hatton. Hatton doesn't have exlposive power or else he would've finished Philips off with some of the punches that he landed. He's more of a wear you down TKO type fighter. If he does try to take it to KT, his plans will change very quickly once he tastes a straight right to his chin.

would you please explain how cotto's resume is worse than hatton's? Because IMO a couple of the guys on Hatton's record would beat anyone on Cotto's. The post wasn't meant as a derogatory comment towards Cotto, more towards some people's hypocracy.

Most of the fans and press in Britain appreciate that he needs to step up in class and they believe that he'll be able to do it. Too many people seem happy just to presume that he won't without seeing enough of him to know his true potential. Why do so many people on this site think that Cotto's going to be a superstar when his resume's worse than Hatton's? would you please explain how cotto's resume is worse than hatton's?

I think has has gotten better, i saw his last fight, he was actualy moving around and dodging some of those blows, instead of coming straight at the guy and taken those blows, but he still rushes, and takes alot of chances, i guess what it comes down to is wether or not he can take Tzyu's blows, if he can, then he def has a good chance at it. (also if you look at the fight with mitchell, mitchell tried to come in on the inside agrresively and thats when he got caught by Tzyu, i like hatton, but it really depends on what he can take, IMO )

100K your on...we will have to periodically bring this up to each other as the fight grows near. oh if Im not mistaken which I am a lot the Zoo/Vince fight took place in 97 and the hatton fight took place in 03...thats six years not four, plus Zoo was not as good then as he is now but I could be wrong! Cool. I'm sure we'll chat between then and now so I'll let you know how I'm gonna spend it :D . I did check out the Phillips thing a couple if weeks ago and I'm pretty sure I'm right, but could be wrong. You're right, KT is better but his chin's not. And Hatton would beat any version of Phillips IMO. If you rate Mitchell at all then I don't see how you can dismiss the Phillips that Hatton fought seeing as he took Mitchell to SD 5 months earlier.

I can't back Hatton up as much as I do and not put my money where mouth is now can I? :) I'll put 100k on him if you like? And I'll make it 500k if p4p/El Terrible ever gives me back the points that I leant him. :D We'll have to disagree that there's a significant change in the power of a 34 and 38 year old Phillips. The fact that he had to tell us that he was hurt says good things about his chin to me. It does make me smile that the only reasoning for a KT victory seems to be "big right, goodnight". Worse fighters than Hatton have gone the distance with him. Do you really think Urkal is more solid than Hatton? Some of Urkal's shots had a visible effect on Tszyu and he's got nowhere near the power of Hatton. I've never really rated Mitchell so I need to see more from KT to tell me he's truly still the fighter that he was, and Judah was looking good against him until he got hit. The guy's got to get old some time. 100K your on...we will have to periodically bring this up to each other as the fight grows near. oh if Im not mistaken which I am a lot the Zoo/Vince fight took place in 97 and the hatton fight took place in 03...thats six years not four, plus Zoo was not as good then as he is now but I could be wrong!
