Mikey Garcia vs Ricky Hatton - who wins & why?

Holy ****, is this even a question? Hatton at his best charges Garcia down with a pressure that is simply too much. Hatton can take what ever Garcia dishes out. Garcia wouldn't be able to take the body assault that would be unleashed against him. Hatton KO in 8.

I think Hatton would absolutely swarm him.

Hatton will ktfo garcia, too much pressure and power @140 that garcia hasnt faced. Mikey only calls out tough mfers when interviewed was never near the two boxers whom hatton lose.

hatton pressure will be too much for garcia at 140.

I pick Mikey to outbox and hurt Hatton. Not sure how much power Mikey really has above 135, so I can see Hatton putting up a valiant effort and lasting the distance.

Garcia times Hatton for a 9th rnd K/O.

Garcia by decision I'd say at 140. Doesn't have the power at 140 to KO a prime Hatton, but enough skills to come through a tough fight with a clear decision.

Garcia went life and death with a kickboxer never hurting him(flash knockdown) and people think he stops a prime Hatton something a big puncher at Jr Welter Kostya Tszyu couldn't do.

Mikey via tko, within 9 rounds. Knocks the cocain outta Hattons nose!

I would have to go for Hatton by stoppage. Hatton was much better at 140 than he was at 147. Did he even truly win a fight at 147? Most people thought Collazo beat him. If Mikey fought a prime Hatton he would be in a world of trouble because Hatton was rough, relentless and tough at 140. Mikey is an excellent fighter but he likes to fight at a slower pace. Broner allowed Garcia all the time in the world and didn't force the pace at all. Hatton would be the exact opposite.

Hatton at 140 was a different fighter to what people remember, he wasn’t as effective at welter. He was a swarming beast at 140, no way mike KO’s him, he would have to pull off a boxing masterclass and go up a level we have never seen before. Remember, Garcia hasn’t had a definitive fight yet, Hatton beat Kostya into retirement, Mike hasn’t had a big 50/50 against a lb 4 lb

Mikey KO's Hatton

As per the title, who wins this at 140? For the sake of argument, the Garcia who beat Lipinets so handsomely against the turbo-charged Hatton who fought Tszyu - before he ate, drank and snorted his gifts and chin away. IMO Garcia MD12 with Hatton making him walk through hell and potentially breaking that nose again. People are quick to forget how strong prime hatton was. Floyd who is way bigger than him couldn’t get hatton easily off him for the first 5 rounds of their fight, he was muscling floyd. If not for that catlike reflexes, unmatched footspeed and defensive wizardry of Floyd he would be in trouble as well during that time or more so than he had. Mikey is not big at 140, not powerful at 140 or atleast so far we know, his chin is not tested at 140. Mikey is not athletic, he doesn’t have the footwork to run from bigger foes. What he has is great boxing fundamentals, great timing and he fights with discipline. He doesn’t overreach his opponents and he maintains his balance each time. But the physicality of this fight will be more than his skills can overcome. Hatton outweighs him by 15 plus bounds, muscles and wrestles him inside. And oh I guarantee you hatton can reach him. Prime Hatton by KO unless he fights mikey on the outside and gives him enough space to breath. Then mikey will time him with good shots

Prime Hatton any day, ferocious fighter in his day.

Garcia by UD. Hatton maybe wins three rounds or so early on, but Mikey controls the distance, tempo and action with superior boxing ability.

Ricky lost his two biggest fights by ko, Mikey would be no different Garcia is nowhere near Floyd or Pacquiao. Hatton by Decision 116-112.

Hatton was a monster at 140 and would be too strong for Garcia. KO rd 9 or 10.

Garcia cant punch at 140 but he his skilled enough to outpoint Hatton. He wont have it easy though look at the Lipinets fight.

I'd go with Hatton here. Lipinets started getting to Garcia in the second half of the fight and he's just not strong enough to hold Hatton off for 12 rounds. Now, he has very good power but at 140 how good is it? Never was able to hurt Broner and Lipinets took some hellacious shots all fight and kept coming forward. Granted, he did drop Lipinets late in the fight, but Hatton is a different level pressure fighter. Hatton MD Garcia

Hatton does him over, people forget his greatness as he lost to arguably the two best welterweights over the last 15 years....
