both are very good infighters and should be a barn burner. i personally think garcia wins this. hatton had a super aggressive style which sure was exciting to watch but had tons of holes which garcia can exploit. hatton was always more of a brawler-slugger with little defense, garcia should catch hatton with one of those well timed left hook of his. garcia wins by ko.
your thoughts?
Garcia is good at mid range. I dont think he's good inside. I dont look at Hatton highly by any means, but his smothering style might help him here. 50-50 fight.
It's not so simple, Hatton's aggressiveness is the style Garcia feeds off of. Hatton would have to successfully avoid counters on the way in, I don't see that happening.
This is how I see it as well. Garcia would just tee off on Hatton.

Prime Hatton would have smothered Danny's punches and stopped him to the body. But.....
I could easily imagine a good Garcia left hook landing on Hatton and hurting him enough to close the show.
That said, prime Hatton took some monster shots from Tszyu and if he could do that I'm pretty sure he could take Garcia's best too.
Danny has a chance of a KO early, but i noticed he doesn't like pressure, The Lucas fight he had rounds he felt uncomfortable and started running around, same with the Herrera fight when he snapped his head back with a jab, Peterson fight he was getting the shi*t beat out of him, Lucas also started one attack i remember and the ref just stops it Cortez style like in the Chino vs Khan fight . He has dirty tactics of going low to stop the attack and pressure coming his way, and trying to clinch.
who has Garcia Ko'd that proves he would knock hatton out??
Garcia mostly catches people with that left when they are at mid range throwing punches. Hatton doesnt fight at mid-range, he fights on your chest grappling, mauling, finding openings, working the body and head withshort hooks.

I'd like to stick with my opening answer.
Hattons mauls the f*ck out of Garcia, and he quite possibly quits in the later rounds.
Why are people comparing Khan to Hatton, Hatton was put down ONCE in 43 fights before Floyd and Pac, and it wasn't as if he didn't get hit very often. He was strong, fast and durable. Danny would have sh1t himself in there.

The post I've quoted is 2 years old and still applies imo, cept' I'll go one better: prime Hatton by mid to late stoppage.
Best Ricky was full steam every minute of every round. Danny hasn't fought a fight that shows me he could take that intensity for 12.
