Ricky Hatton is the new Rocky Marciano

[Benny Leonard]

Exactly,what the **** are they smoking.

Probably the same **** that Tyson started to smoke which made him decline, but at least he seemed happy.

I THINK YOU MIGHT BE FIGHTIN BACKWARDS

I dont know what your trying to say but comparing him to Tyson is a disgrace. Even HBO hasnt said that.

[msagrain]

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.

do you read anything i said in terms of weight classes

[BmoreBrawler]

Hatton never claimed to be an all time great, theres no reason to criticize him when he knows his carreer is far from over. 43-0 is just the beginning for him, where as for mayweather a paltry 38-0 was the end.

Yes I did. and your still WRONG.A 14 year old Tyson,same weight as Hatton would **** that Brit up.

[Benny Leonard]

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

Tyson is a Heavyweight fighting Heavyweights, Hatton is fighting only 140 pounders and smaller. You cannot compare a weight division that is set and another that has no limits.

And if you look at it, If Tyson was shrunk down to 5'6 1/2, he would be a lot heavier than 140/150.

Just think, Atlas said Tyson was 190 pounds, went up to 200 pounds by the time he was 12/13 after Bobby Stewart worked with him, and this was on a frame at the time around 5'8.


13 year old Tyson vs. Hatton in a street fight, who you got?

[msagrain]

Yes I did. and your still WRONG.A 14 year old Tyson,same weight as Hatton would **** that Brit up.

now you have been smoking something

[Verstyle]

now you have been smoking something

Tyson OWNS Hatton in all attributes at that age. speed,power,agility, probably chin too. I still cant believe you guys tryed comparing Hatton to Tyson. You guys needs to calm down on Hatton and think before you type.

43-0 for Hatton is not the same as Mayweather's 38-0.

It is like trying to compare Marciano's 49-0 record/resume with Ali's, not comparable. Although neither is Mayweather's for that matter.

My point is simple, quality over quantity.

You probably think if you slept with 100 women that are D level girls, is better than having slept with 30 A class girls.

[realheavyhands]

Both are making a living and a legend off of "All time Greats" that are SHOT, although Marciano really had no choice since he fought whoever was there *although I wonder how he would of done if he stuck around to fight Patterson, maybe even Liston but he would of probably been to old by then, while Hatton could be fighting Cotto, Shane Mosley (who is although not the same fighter, is still much better than Castillo and probably even the Tszyu that fought Hatton), and maybe a few others at 147, although I will not hold him to any fighter that could not have made 140 in their career.



I have a lot of respect for pro fighters, but that does not mean I can not critique them, after all, if we do not how do we determine who is or may be better.


After all, it is Hatton who talks **** about Mayweather, yet refused to fight him. Mayweather might talk ****, but at least he tried to make fights happen and fought whoever wanted to fight him at the time he wanted to fight, although maybe I am over-looking somebody.



It is time for Hatton to step up or it is his legacy, not Mayweather's that is to suffer.


And for the record, I do not think Mayweather is unbeatable and is a bit overrated in terms of "All time Great" status after he left the 130's.

AFTER REACCESING I SEE YOUR POINTS.. HES OUT TRAINING THESE GUYS
