Ricky Hatton vs Juan Diaz

:boxing: :boxing:

Hatton hugs his was to a decision.

Laugh away. Don't act like Hatton is some unstoppable force at 140. Floyd could beat him there, Cotto could beat him there. According to you Junior Witter could beat him there. But someone is a retard for picking a much better boxer one division down beating him? Please. Look at Diaz's +/- rating compared to Hattons Juan Diaz overall connect % 40, Opponents connect % 17 +/- rating +23 Ricky Hatton ov connect % 32, Opponents connect % 30 +/- rating +2 Hatton is not a huge puncher, no way is he knocking Diaz out, and I seriously doubt he could win a decision against him. Plus Diaz is a very good inside fighter. :biggthump i agree

Yeah Diaz would get beat at his own game. He comes forward and wants to fight right? LMFAO. Hatton is the best pure pressure fighter in boxing. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

RIcky Hatton

:boxing: ..

This would be a terrific fight! As far as who wins? We, the boxing fans win no matter who gets the decision. Great fight. I hope it can happen.

hatton wins at 140!

21-6 for Hatton so far

id definately go for hatton. i think that the fight would be entertaining whilst it lasted but ultimately hatton is still a monster at 140lbs and diaz actually looked a little flabby in his last fight against julio diaz at 135. am not knocking the lad coz i think hes a great fighter but i seriously think hatton would win and not just because of the weight, probably by a late tko or wide decision

You can do that for any fighter in the world. Who has Diaz beaten at 135 exactly besides an way past it Freitas who was fighting once a year prior to the fight and had already been known as a quitter against Corrales. Julio Diaz who got stopped by Castillo and stopped by a journeyman from Mexico? Angulo? Irwin? C'mon man. Oh please, Julio fought a far closer-to-prime Castillo than Hatton did, and everyone ought to know that. And a near prime Castillo is a pretty damn good fighter anyway, and Julio(from the reports I read) won more rounds against Castillo than he did against Juan(0). and Julio was doing great before he fought Juan. Yes, I know that Jesus Chavez's leg gave out in their fight, but up until then, Julio was basically dominating the fight anyway, and Jesus is no pushover. Yes, Freitas quit against Corrales, but on the other hand he fought to the death with Barrios...weird guy. but the thing is, Corrales was being outboxed and held at bay by Freitas for a good majority of the fight before the knockout. Diaz more or less took over the fight after a few rounds. Freitas may not have been as good...but its a notable win. and he was looking good in that fight for a while. the fact the Juan has had two unification bouts in just a year should be an example to all the other 'champions' out there. at the rate hes going, Juan is almost guarenteed to be a HOF fighter.

Hatton's much bigger, he would bully Diaz and eventually KO him.

Hatton is waaay too big for Diaz. Diaz is a little fatboy at 135 lbs, and Hatton is a fatboy at 200lbs. big difference there it would be fun to watch unless Hatton clinched nonstop like he has been fighting lately tho.

Freitas and Julio Diaz >>>>>>>>>> Campbell and Katsidis. Who has Katsidis beaten again? He's the flavour of the month and after Diaz beats him, people will label him as a bum. Honestly, I think Campbell will be Diaz's toughest test.

At 24 Diaz has single handidly almost completely unified his division. What was Hatton doing at 24? Ricky didn't even fight for a major world title till he was 27. Who do you think is the bigger talent? Is it any suprise that Hatton is going after Gavin Reese?QUOTE] No way, Where did you hear that?

Against Freitas and Julio Diaz who are not as good as Hatton. I want to see how he does against Campbell first and then maybe Katsidis, if he beats them impressively, maybe I'll give this a second thought. Edit: I forgot about David Diaz, I want to see that fight too. Freitas and Julio Diaz >>>>>>>>>> Campbell and Katsidis. Who has Katsidis beaten again?

Hatton by a late KO. I think people underestimate him as a pressure fighter especially against a smaller man. I dislike the way that Hatton has been devalued after losing to Mayweather, the best fighter on the planet. Even though he got beat up bad toward the end of that fight, Mayweather was very uncomfortable throughout the duration of it trying to deal with Hatton. Diaz is a very good fighter though. Couldn't agree more. Hatton has been devalued since PBF. But, I think he was overvalued before it. SO I think everyone's in the right place right now with Hatton. His pressure style would wear down Diaz. Diaz would have to catch Hatton ALOT early to win. I think it would be a very good matchup.

Diaz is too small for 140, he should probably drop down to 130. I would pick him over Hatton.

Come on he unified the division Against Freitas and Julio Diaz who are not as good as Hatton. I want to see how he does against Campbell first and then maybe Katsidis, if he beats them impressively, maybe I'll give this a second thought. Edit: I forgot about David Diaz, I want to see that fight too.
