Agreed, the point is they are and have been three of the greatest fighters of this era.

You think Hatton is one of the greatest fighters of his era?

[.Mik.]

Why not? How many undefeated, multi-weight, multi-belt champions who have beat another Top P4P fighter have they been this era?

Who is to say by 'one of' he meant 'three of the greatest' he meant 3 out of the top 5?

So lets just clarify this before i go any further.

Do you think Ricky Hatton is one of the best fighters of this era?

[me2007]

he's one of the best eaters of his era

I'd say that Ricky Hatton, as his career stands at the moment, is one of the top 20-30 fighters of the past decade.

Right, i shall now go away for a while, and if no one has anything to say on this, ill come back.

Im still very tired, not ready for this kind of talk yet.

lol.

You do realise that you dont need to tell people that you're going away and will come back later. This isnt a phone conversation. Nobody is waiting with baited breath for your response and nor does anyone think that you dont have a point if you dont post it immediately.

Yep, thing is, im sure you now feel alot better knowing that there is a good chance ill be back later on to pick up on your famous analytical skills on boxing.

It's my way of being nice, i could have just asked you to name your 20-30 top fighters of this era on the spot in order to prove your thesis.


Of course, i knew you couldnt do it, so i spared you the grief.

lol.

That bordered on actually being quite clever and amusing.

Shame for you to ignore the very valid points of this thread, considering you are one of the worst offenders of the pathetic name-calling and hypocritical behaviour of ignoring one person's faults and yet criticising similar faults in other fighters.

But...I guess thats the kind of thing you do when you realise that you have no argument.

It's a matter of preference. I like Mayweather's style. I even like Calzaghe's style since he will box and use the ring. Hatton is just hard to watch.

The thing is Mayweather's reflexes and ability allow him to do things most fighters dream of. The Manaconda, on the other hand, can hug and hold just like any other fighter can. It's nothing special. If you think it is, then you probably had John Ruiz in your P4P as well...

On the other hand, I DID ask you to name the other multi-weight, multi-title holders who were undefeated on their 42nd fight and who defeated another top P4P fighter when they were in the top 10 P4P list. But you overlooked that. Perhaps to spare yourself the grief of failing.
