Ricky Hatton Vs Juan Manuel Marquez at 140?

I'd have to go with Marquez, but that may be because I'm a huge fan of his. I think Hatton gets hit too much and the size difference isn't as big as people have said. He only gives up 1/2 an inch in height, retains the bigger reach and he looked like he coped well with lightweight. If Mayweather Sr works on Hatton even more though, it could be a difficult fight for Marquez. I'd be rooting for him though.

I think it could be a very close fight, but i went with Hatton. Looks like its a real fans fight, would be great if it was made.

Marquez against Hatton would be incredible. Marquez would show what a real elite fighter looks like. Despite giving up size, strength, age, and fighting a world class fighter in Hatton himself. He'd show the difference between world class and elite. Would be sick...I wish they made this. Agree 100%. My post was going to be almost identical to yours.

Ricky will still be able to be caught coming on the way in. I'm sure JMM could earn Hatton's respect with his punches. He puts guys right on the end of those babies. I'd far rather this than Hatton/DLH. That size discrepency is far bigger than Hatton/Marquez and Marquez has the skills to offset a size and strengh advantage unlike Hatton who relies on it to make him a special inside fighter at his natural weight. hattons got a good chin, and if he knows hes badly effecting marquez body its just gonna make him more bloody minded and determined to walk through marquez.. and hatton is pretty hard to nail coming in, hes got good head movement, not like mayweathers but is pretty hard to stop.. and when they do meet hatton will throw about 6 punches and marquez will probably only connect with 2 or 1 due to hattons feints and shimmys.. i cant see marquez taking too many body shots.. i think hatton would stop him inside 10 rounds especially now hattons started a good winning streak, he'll be more confident each fight... marquez aint got a very good jab, hes not a potshotter like paulie and floyd... paulies a shit example but can throw a jab from outside hattons distance.. marquez cant, he'll have to get close to even make contact with hatton.. hatton would steamroll him

I think Hatton would win, he would just be too big and too strong for Marquez, Marquez would probably have his moments though.

marquez is too small, every time they exchanged hatton would murder his body.. marquez would be running all night long.... marquez aint got enough to beat hatton, i'd imagine he'd try and dominate the center of the ring, i cant invisage him doing a mayweather and pot shotting..... and hattons power is massive at 140.. much more powerfull than pacman Ricky will still be able to be caught coming on the way in.

Ok I seriously can't believe how close this poll is. WOW They should make this fight happen.

Ok I seriously can't believe how close this poll is. WOW Yeah man, it's tied again! That shit is crazy.

Mayweather started at 130, knocked Ricky spark out cold. JMM throws a lot more than FMJ, I find his offense superior actually. Mayweather left there when he was 24, Marquez was still there at 35.

Damn, that poll is close.

Juan M probably knocks Hatton out.

JMM by KO!!!!!!

marquez would tear him into pieces...

Jmm would counter Hatton all night and at times make him look silly.. BUT in saying that eventually Hattons pressure and size would catch up with him..

Mayweather started at 130, knocked Ricky spark out cold. JMM throws a lot more than FMJ, I find his offense superior actually. yeah, but if jmm is punching it opens him up to get hit.

i'd like to see this fight. competitive, but i think hatton's too strong for jmm.

nah, i think hatton walks through jmm's punches. Mayweather started at 130, knocked Ricky spark out cold. JMM throws a lot more than FMJ, I find his offense superior actually.

I'd like to see this fight just so i can see my favorite fighter of all time get his biggest payday, he will beat him too. Well but he did get knocked down by a 130 puncher. 140 is two divisions up.
