its crazy some people are saying he could beat duran. duran would win easily
oh of course it would be a war for 5 rounds and ricky would be relatively in the fight landing shots but his face would be a mess and i could see him getting stopped by 7 or 8
I can't see Hatton really beating any of the above named fighters in there primes but I think he would be able to compete against a few of them.
However, I think Pryor and Duran would ruin Hatton. Pryor is a beast at 140lbs and Duran is a devil aswell. Although Duran skipped 140lbs and went for SRL at WW I dont doubt he would still have the superior power at jrWW.
i don't know bro, pryor was a tough ass mofo, but the thing is duran although a good inside fighter he needed room to really get his effective shots off, where as pryor didn't need any room at all, he just worked and worked.
i'm not saying that pryor would beat duran at 147, but duran wouldn't annihilate pryor.
ray leonard wanted no part of pryor as a amateur and pro and hearns wanted nothing to do with pryor was a pro. even at 147........................because pryor handed hearns his ass in the amateurs.
i remember manny steward saying that he couldn't have pryor and hearns in the gym at the same time because all pryor wanted to do was fight hearns, all the time. that and he said that pryor would pound everyone in the gym during sparring after working out and still would call out hearns, after a hard days worth of training.
pryor is and was one of the most underrated fighters ever. he was always the underdog too.
always debatable, but imo the difference would be in the fact that duran was an excellent body puncher, didnt need as much room as you suggest to get his offense going and his defensive slipping prowess would take something out of pryor in the later rounds, Hey I loved Pryor he was an animal but Durans my boy.
Hatton would most likely lose to everybody on the list.
Pryor v Duran would have been an epic fight. I'd say the only hope Pryor would have against Duran would be in his magic bottle. In a fair fight, the Duran who beat Leonard lays him out after a bunch of furious rounds.
Duran would annihalate Pryor dude, especially at 147.

McNulty....shut up.
I could envision Hatton beating a prime Tszyu and Taylor, but the rest would most likely beat him.
Pryor would beat everyone on that list though.

i say pryor beats hatton, he never stopped and never got tired, and he had a granite chin, it took an elbow after a three year crack filled layoff to give him his first loss. and that was shady because pryor took a knee and the ref waived it off. but that's old news.
style wise it would be the same style verses each other, it would come down to a battle of wills and the will of pryor was unparalleled, hatton has yet to be pushed into that kind of fight, i'm not saying hatton doesn't have it but we haven't seen hatton in the shits like pryor has been.
McNulty....shut up.

Dude wasnt you sellin out the Hawk a few threads back?
Your bet list is all losers so its you that needs to stfu.
Have you even seen Meldrick fight?
I honestly haven't been impressed with Williams and Marg has beaten better opponents ( Than Williams has ). A win for Williams would not surprise me though.
No one in this thread has suggested it.
I got you saying Cintron is better than Sharmba right here!!! Haha
McNulty....shut up.

I concur! :fing02:
The only person I see Hatton beating on the list is KT. KT doesn't fight as well on the back foot & Hatton would bully him like he did in their fight. Aaron Pryor & Roberto Duran absolutely ruin Hatton; no comparison. DLH & Sugar Shane both KO Hatton in their prime. Meldrick Taylor vs. Hatton would be a war like his with JCC but I could see Meldrick getting the UD in this one. He had superior hand speed, foot speed, & overall boxing ability.
