Ricky or Kostya?

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

......Zoo is just the better man by far. Hatton is going from the "B" league to the "A" league. If Zoo loses to Hatton I will suck my own dick. Did I just type that or just think it? hey buddy pbds, can I get a copyright to put wut you said on my sig?! That shiznite has classic written all ova it!

This is one of those fights where heart is not such a good thing for Hatton. If he keeps trying and trying, he's gonna get hurt BAD. This is a real mismatch. Hatton is in for a beatdown of epic proportions! His corner may have to save him "a-hem" :o

You know, the more I try to picture the fight, the more I see Hatton's face bleeding :rolleyes: But I can also picture him triumphant with blood-stains! He's a tough little cookie :) hehe ;) :D

So I do hope that if Ricky's difficult pressuring and sapping body blows do actually land him a victory, I do hope that you people will give him his dues and respect him if he wins. I personally do not think that he will win, but if he does manage to pull it off somehow then please give Ricky respect! coughcoughjustremindingyoucoughcough

tszyu will destroy hatton..

i have to go with tszyu , tszyu has to much expirience and power for hatton to handle. hatton is good but he does not have the expirience against top fighters his record is padded big time and he has been protected warren is going to regret having given hatton no real competion before fighting tszyu , tszyu is classes above anyone hatton has faced he will get overwhelmed and koed .

I don't actually think it would be a 'huge' upset if Ricky won, the guy is good! But yeah, I just gotta go with Tszyu here, although Ricky will put up a great fight I'm sure and do himself proud.

I'm going with Kostya. I think if Hatton gets tagged with one of those rights while he's winding up to go to Kostya's body, and doesn't go down, he may be leary enough to lose a UD to Kostya. If that doesn't discourage him, he'll probably get KO'd because Kostya's defense is better than Hatton's IMO, and Hatton's shots are too wide. Hatton may win, but it would be a pretty big upset IMO.

I THINK YOU SELL YOURSELF SHORT YOGI. lets put it this way your one of the guys who post on here that if i see your name I go out of my way to make sure i read what you have posted. no shit, its a compliment. :cool: and i agree with your analogy of the fight. Thanks again, buddy. Coming from someone like yourself those compliments are certainly appreciated, as you are also one of the guys on here which whose opinions/thoughts I have have grown to respect and enjoy reading. I usually like guys who have a historic interest/knowledge and you're certainly one of them on this site (along with top-notch guys like Cple, Jabs and a couple of others).

kinda feels like a mini-white version of frazier foreman. but i don't care, Ricky's guna pull something off and bring the title back home :boxing:

HERE SPEAKS A VERY KNOWLEDGABLE AND WISE MAN!!! :cool: :boxing: Lol! JPW, you're probably the only one in this thread that thinks that about me, so thanks. I just think that youth will be served in this matchup and Hatton's relentless pressure, toughness, body punching, workrate, strength, and conditioning (i.e. stamina) are going to be too much for an aging great fighter whose only fought three rounds in the last couple of years, and who hasn't had a tough test in about four or five. Prime vs. prime, Kostya Tszyu would have no problems with Ricky Hatton's aggressive style, and would bust him up from both long range behind the jab and on the inside with the cracking uppercuts. But prime Kostya Tszyu isn't on the scene anymore (he's gotten smarter, but has slowed down in hand speed and whatnot), so I gotta go with my gut feeling on this one and go with the upset.

Ricky Hatton UD-12 Kostya Tszyu HERE SPEAKS A VERY KNOWLEDGABLE AND WISE MAN!!! :cool: :boxing:

Ricky Hatton UD-12 Kostya Tszyu

hatton tko 10

Kostya by mid round KO!

Kostya Tszyu will win. My heart says Ricky Hatton because he is, of course, my countryman, but you have to look at the form. I just don't see that Hatton has enough experience at this level. It's a major step up in class for him. So I am afraid my head says Tszyu wins within 5 rounds.
