the irish micky ward... blood & guts warrior who specialized in inside fighting & body shots
vs
ricky the hitman hatton... the present day lineal boss @ 140...
who wins this? in what manner?
micky ward is about as irish as kunta kinte.
Anyone who thinks he was anywhere near as good as hatton is retarded.
hate to grave dig but just saw a post on fb ..nearly everyone picked ward lmaoooooooo
not even close hatton destroys him
This was a question sent in last week on MAXBOXING FRIDAY MAIBAG-GABRIEL MONTAYA (the guy who answers the mailbag and does the show)said prime for prime he;d take the irishman MICKEY WARD.MICKY had the MUCH better chin,wasn't as quick but had MUCH better BODY and CHIN punch resistance along with in my opinion a better LEFT HOOK to the body.

I agree Ward makes a better punching bag.

theres also a fight of hatton's when he was real young against a costa rican named gilbert quiros...hatton was cut and was geting his bell rung....and then about the 3rd or 4th round...hatton hit him hard to the body....and the guy was down for like 5 minutes straight no joke.....hatton is the better body puncher imo
Hatton is so much more entertaining to watch when he's not mauling his opponent every 10 seconds. The in and out movement, the quick hands inside. He attacks the body with conviction.
He just can't do that against the elite without looking to grab all the time.
sanchez had his way against ward for almost all of the fight... he had a field day punching ward anywhere he wanted to... he even KDd ward @ sum point, but he was unable to finish ward off...
i dont know if it was lack of killer's instinct on the part of sanchez or he was playing around, but he got KTFO by a vicious body shot & was unable to get up maybe even the ref had counted up to 20...
no way, hatton doesnt knock micky ward out, maybe knocks em' down, but wont knock em' out
Yeah it's a tough call. You might be right. Ward had a damn good chin and recovered very well.
Hatton wins and probably by KO, but it's a hell of a fight right up to the end. Possibly some dirty fighting too.

I'm giving this one to a prime ward... Great chin at that weight.. keeps coming.. I've never seen hatton fully pressed in a fight I think he should have won besides those 2 guys and mayweather... and he lost 1 of them obviously.
Mickey is always pressed imo. lol
Ricky may be the quicker, better overall fighter, but this would likely be an inside war and Ward has a stronger chin. Close, but I'd favor Hatton on points.
that was a pretty sweet shot.all we can say is out of hatton and ward whoever lands clean with a body shot they r both brutal
ward made lampley, roy jones & merchant sound like idiots huh?
hahahahaha...
take that....
