    Tyson used a combination attack to hit to the body, hit to the head.

    You do not see the head-movement, combinations, speed, power, and quickness of feet that Tyson once displayed in comparing the two.
    I THINK TYSON WAS ALREADY DECLINING WHEN ROONEY HAD HIM ... BUT TYSON IS WHAT HATTON COULD REACH ...HES THE ONLY FIGHTER IVE REALLY SEEN THAT ALOMST FIGHT JUST LIKE MIKE.. TYSONS DEFENSE AND HEAD MOVEMENT WAS BETTER BUT HATTON IS A GREAT FIGHTER

      I am a fan of Hatton, I just want to see him reach his potential or at least see how far he can go.


      Then again, it is not my head being bashed so whatever Hatton wants to do is his right.

            The only thing that may have declined with Mike with Rooney was his motivation, other than that, when Mike needed to do something he could.

            Honestly, I just do not see them near the same level.

            If Tyson is a 10, Hatton is a 6.

              if they would be both the size size n weight ect hatton would have the better shot but because he alot smaller tyson will always win with power but in terms of weight devison id say are about the same heavy hitters

                  Wrong. Tyson bobbed and weaved.I dont think I see Hatton bobbing and weaving,nor do I see him use his legs constantly,and Hatton is a inside fighter.Tyson was a mid-range fighter.Plus Hattons hards are pretty damn slow.And Hatton doesnt Ko his opponents silly. You guys comparison of the 2 is ridiculous.

                      I THINK YOU MIGHT BE FIGHTIN BACKWARDS.. HATTON DOESNT HAVE TO SIT DOWN ON HIS PUNCHES CUZ HES THE SAME SIZE AS GUYS.. I DO THINK TYSON WAS THE ONLY FLAWLESS FIGHTER
