Ricky Hatton vs Lucas Matthysse at 140?

He beat the hell out of tzysu, Pauli and Castillo.. All better fighters than Danny are you already overrating guys from just a couple years ago? garcia has a better resume than all those guys. malignaggi didn't fight anyone good at 140 cept cotto who beat him up. he went life and death with herman ngoudjo and lovermore ndou. castillo also went life and death with herman ngoudjo right before hatton fought him. damn herman ngoudjo is a beast!

I think Hatton mauls him on the inside and wins a MD.

He beat the hell out of tzysu, Pauli and Castillo.. All better fighters than Danny All very different fighters to Danny. Also, triangle theories don't work. Danny used his brain and not his balls and didn't get into a tear up. Fought on the backfoot all fight and had the fight of his life. Danny is a good boxer and counterpuncher.

i don't see what's supposed to be so impressive about hatton's jr welter run. matthysse has tested himself more than hatton did at the weight, and although he lost to garcia, garcia is a better fighter than hatton ever was He beat the hell out of tzysu, Pauli and Castillo.. All better fighters than Danny

That probably sounded better in your head. Sounds perfectly fine as long as you pronounce it Mat-ees lol And back on topic, don't forget Matthysse has a 4" reach advantage and a great straight right.

Geez people are on this forum are Dumb for power punchers..Lucas has come up short in every meaningful fight in his career..prime Hatton only lost to Floyd and Pac..two of the best EVER..Hatton walked through BOMBS that Tszyu hit him with and Kostya was o e of the best 140 fighters EVER.. Tzuyu may be an atg and have a better skill set but he wasn't as much of a concussive puncher. Even though he stopped Judah and made him dance, Judah said Matthysse hit harder than him or Knee-guel Cotto. Matthysse isn't just a power puncher mate. Plus when has Hatton ever fought slick like Judah or Alexander (Matthysse should have won both or at least the Devon fight). Garcia as a counter puncher is completely different to an in fighter like Hatton. Lucas lands 46% of his power shots, stand in front of him and good luck.

Woop woop that's the sound of the Matthysse That probably sounded better in your head.

Hatton wins this really easily! Matthysse isn't anything special at all

People are bringing up Hatton's body shots but have y'all forgotten Lucas is one of the best body punchers in boxing? He has at least 10 body shot knockdowns. Woop woop that's the sound of the Matthysse

I expected better from tou salim. No way ricky makes 140. Red K :D Hahahahaha you got me

I am sure Lucas would knock Hatton out. Hatton was never hard to hit and Lucas has a large variety of KO punches thrown in combination, with speed, timing and accuracy.

Im not sure Luc can beat a prime Ricky, and I love Lucas.

I see this fight playing out as an inside war from the opening bell. Ricky Hatton was tough as hell and he would take it to Matthysse and probably have an early advantage smothering matthysse's punches, but I see him breaking down as the fight wears on. Matthysse has the stamina and durability to hang blow for blow, and his power would eventually be more than Hatton could handle. Matthysse by late stoppage.

Hatton has become underrated. New fans/fans that have only seen the Mayweather/Pacquiao fights thinking they've seen the best Hatton. There's only 2 fights Mayweather held excessively, Hatton (the first 3 rounds) and Maidana 2, out of those there's only one where he looked very uncomfortable and that was Hatton. Hatton has lived off one elite win his entire career. He was just a charismatic figure, but if you were to dissect the resume then it's just alright.

Hatton is ridiculously overrated due to his wrestling match with Kostya Tszyu. One of the worst fights I've seen. Hatton has lived off one good win his entire career and is considered a legend in Britain. Brook is doing the same and is so revered. I guess that's the magic formula.

Hatton is ridiculously overrated due to his wrestling match with Kostya Tszyu. One of the worst fights I've seen. Gotta agree with this. I'm no matthysse fan but this is a horrible style match up. Lucas stops him in mid rounds.

He wouldn't have been matched with Lucas unless he was a 35 year old vs a prime Ricky in his late 20s.
