Where Does Hatton Rank Among Mayweather's Opponent?

are you retarted? Castillo had 4 losses before fighting Floyd.....:ugh: He probably meant Corrales. BTW, Hernandez was 38-1.

i cant belive some people think dlh was better than hatton. dlh is old past his prime promoter who was never good anyway. hattons win over zoo is better than any win dlh ever got. You think Hatton's victory over Kostya is better than Oscar's wins over Ike Quartey, JCC (the first fight), Rafael Ruelas, Genero Hernandez, or Pernell Whitaker? What are you smoking? You must be young. Are you 18, by chance? People who've been around boxing since the early 80's (like I have) or more (like many here) know the significance of the Oscar fights I've listed above. If you don't know, then just be quiet but don't say that Hatton's one win over Kostya is better than Oscar's many wins over great fighters.

Oscar may not be all that, and he may be a cross-dresser, but if that was Ricky Hatton in the ring with him on May 5th it would've been a W instead of an L. Hatton isn't in the top 3 of his opponents, and not even close to the best...whats wrong with you guys?

Anyone who says that Hatton is either first of second either is new to boxing or is nuthugging Hatton. There is no way Hatton is more dangerous than Corrales or Genaro Hernandez when they fought Floyd. Just no way. Some might say that Oscar was old or whatever, but Oscar is still one of the top fighters at 154 and Mayweather whooped that ass. As for Castillo, I can see some dissing him because he lost to Hatton but the Castillo that lost that fight wasn't a shadow of the fighter he was when he fought Mayweather. Nope, Hatton is the fifth, if that (maybe Jesus Chavez or Carlos Hernandez are actually above him, but I'll give Hatton the benefit of the doubt). But isnt it all about styles? They were very dangerous fighters but i think Hattons style might give Floyd more problems than hes ever faced before.

2nd or 1st.

G. Hernandez 38-2 only lost o oscar after 9-11 defenses and then 5 more defenses of the wbc b4 losing to mayweather. castillo... great fighter 33-0 when they fought. Oscar very good fighter... Carlos gerena...34-2 and 28 ko when they fought. I mean you guys act like these hispanics weren't a challenge for him or sumthin... He was slugging in some of these fights. Watch floyds early career.. he had a few championship fights that were tough. If you only been watchin floyd sinc Mitchell or corrales...castillo then i understand why you don't know stuff. hatton might be 5 unless i missed someone.

Is George Bush the devil? Unless i read your sig wrong, Religion and Republicans are the source off all evil on the pleanet, correct? No, George Bush isn't the devil, just like he isn't Superman or Santa Claus (hint: none of these are real). I say nothing of Republicans. I believe in their core values of small federal government, fiscal conservativeness, and state rights. I do not like the way they've deviated from that and now only pander to the religious nut jobs. I don't like the new Republicans but, hey, what can you do. I don't think religion is a source of evil, either. But people tend to believe stuff in the name of religion and act on their beliefs, often to the detriment of society and their fellow man. If everyone acted as Jesus would (WWJD, for example), this world would be a great place to live. Instead, we have all these hypocrites out there messin' it up for everyone. Anywho, back to boxing. Ricky is getting whooped this weekend so there are better things to talk about.

i think castillo and hatton are the best! they were both prime when they fought pbf. oscar was not near prime, but if he was he would have been the best that pbf fought!

Best Fight: Corrales (by far the most dangerous fighter he's faced. At the time, Floyd was actually the underdog for the first/only time in his championship career) Second Best: Genaro Hernandez (his only loss was to DLH and was coming off of wins against Carlos Hernandez AND Carlos Gerena) Third Best: Jose Luis Castillo Fourth Best: Oscar De La Hoya (still a more dangerous fighter than Hatton. He's faster, hit's harder, and has more experience) Fifth Best: Hatton (I expect Floyd to do to Hatton what he did to Jesus Chavez). Is George Bush the devil?

good poll. Oscar is a better fighter than hatton and more of a threat for sure. Castillo, its debatable. I'd say Hatton is his second best opponent, though less of a threat than Castillo. I like this answer but I don't know if I would say Hatton is better than Castillo at his best.

Don't discuss this with him DM. He wants to argue that Oscar was "WAYYYYY" over the hill when he faced Floyd but Kos was prime and elite when Ricky faced him,:wtf: let me load that into the spin machine and see what comes out! Calculating......... Translating....... I got me azz owned in another thread and i aint let go of it yet! lol

Say what you want, but Oscar was in the best shape than he has been in a long time. He looked great. Don't discuss this with him DM. He wants to argue that Oscar was "WAYYYYY" over the hill when he faced Floyd but Kos was prime and elite when Ricky faced him,:wtf:

second behind Oscar.

i would say second

Ike Quartey fight. That's only 11.5 he didn't fight the last half of round 12. lol

Where do you rank Hatton compared to Mayweather's previous competition? In my opinion he's the best after Oscar with Judah.

I would say Hatton is his second best opponent. I think DLH is or was a much better fighter than Hatton, but I don't have DLH as Mayweathers best opponent. I have Castillo up there. I seriously doubt Hatton will be able to get to Mayweather like Castillo did in their first fight. I do see Hatton giving a better show then DLH.
