Who would win at 140? Ricky Hatton vs Marcos Maidana

[GF of Boxing]

If Ricky was still in his prime and went up against Maidana how will this fight go?

[The_Demon]

Hatton would murder him,it would be brutal and fun too watch but theres only one winner,ricky by stoppage

[them_apples]

I would pick Hatton, not by Murder though. He didn't dominate 140lbs, he was just a bit better and had a lot of strength and decent speed for that weight class.

Maidana would give him a good fight even hurt him at some point but probably lose in the end.

Hatton was a good 140lb fighter however, some people forget that. Even after Mayweather wooped him he still came back and crush Malignaggi who was a good 140lb fighter as well.

[Uturn]

Hatton does everything better than Maidana. Maidana doesn't like body shots and Hatton had vicious bodywork. A late stoppage for Hatton after a gruelling bout.

[IronDanHamza]

Both fighters will take punishment but Ricky will come out on top.

Hatton is just simply better than Maidanna.

[RubenSonny]

One sided bout for Ricky, but I can see Maidana getting his licks in. I think Ricky would probably have more trouble with Maidana than he would with Khan.

oh man ricky goes underrated at these boards

almost as bad a manny pacquiao by the non - philipinos



you serious, brother?
like, are you serious?

ricky hatton was a monster at 140

he's the fighter maidana wishes he was


he had great feet
he worked constantly

he'd grind maidana down to bones in his prime


ricky hatton is a sure fire hall of famer on his work at 140 (and gathering a huge following doesnt hurt)

his stoppage losses against the top p4p fighter in the world shouldnt muck all of that work he did, though i can see how it's easy to forget


the lasting image in my mind of ricky will be on the canvas and out cold
but he was a terrific fighter at 140 in his prime
and chino is not
he's as flawed as can be

Not so sure about that, bro.

He might get into the HOF but by no means is he a sure fire HOF. Atleast not IMO.

But I guess he has as much right as Barry Mcguigan does.

i dont know if he's getting in on his first ballot. in fact i'd be shocked if he does.

but i'm guessing he gets in without much resistance from the writers before 2020 or so.


with the way the game is looking, brother, you've got to pick the best of what's given
it's not going to always be on par with past eras.

i see where you are coming from. he's going to be one of the least skilled men in the hall, and will have a relatively weak ledger compared to his hallmates. he didn't do tremendous work internationally. he lost his biggest fights.

but ricky hatton was a hell of a fighter at 140
and he was one of the more beloved fighters of his era
he was a top tier p4p fighter for many years
he lost twice to the world's best p4p fighter, guys who will get in five years to the day from their retirement.



hall worthy after some years of purgatory in the eyes of this old goat

[CarlosG815]

Now THIS is a fight that pretty much guarantees you get your moneys worth!

And it's mostly because of Hatton.
