Gatti Vs Hatton

[hollister]

Forgive me for saying this, but I almost get the feeling that some dislike Gatti as much as they dislike Wlad. Gatti has given his all to the sport on many occasions, and even though Hatton is a very good fighter, he is mainly a body puncher type pressure fighter, and Gatti is an excellent all around fighter who isn't afraid to be hit. He did take a few punches against DLH but that fight was stopped early. Why wasn't Gatti/Ward 1 stopped? Gatti is plenty fast enough to counter Hatton, and that could make it an excellent fight. Some don't seem to want to acknowledge that Gatti has won some of the most grueling and difficult fights to win. Hatton will by no means walk through Gatti, but win, lose or draw, Hatton won't be doubted anymore if he fights Gatti.

People who dont respect Gatti are fools, but people dont really rate his ability(i do).

He's a good fighter but not the best in the division. I personally think he'd give Hatton hell for the first 6 rounds but Hatton is the Better all round fighter out of the two, i know you think Gatti is but i dont. Hattons mixes shots to head and body, has a great defence for a brawler, he's fast, strong, powerful and very accurate! people dont realise that Hatton lands 45-50% of his shots every fight. The only fighter i can think of with stamina and workrate like Hatton is MannyPac.

Great fight but i'd give Hatton the edge, maybe points but i'd say late TKO.

Be a very good fight.
Though I would pick gatti by KO in say round 8.
Body punches would becoming from all angles from these guys.
I just think the tougher and stronger Gatti will find a way to land that left hook to the body or head.

Still a Sunday KO punch cannot be ruled out.
Gatti should finish him earlier on instead of
risking a runaway freak bomb

Ask Joe Hutchinson who tougher and stronger!! He's been in with both Hatton and Gatti.

He said Gatti is like a little weakling campared to Hatton. you cant argue with that!

Have you watched a Hatton fight? Gatti's left hook was a Dorin stopper but the left to the body/head is a Hatton trade mark!!

LMAO,

Your right Gatti should want to finish Hatton early, i suppose Mr Hussain wanted to finish Mr Bush off early too!!

It very doubtful Gatti could finish Hatton off early, he aint fighting a little ***** like Dorin he's figting a bigger, stronger more talented man. he'll do very well to stop him at all!!

Gauranteed fight of the year!

Hatton scares me because Eamon Magee put him down a couple times early and he is not a puncher, just has a tricky left.

Gatti scares me because people have way overrated him after his trilogy with Ward. Someone said it much earlier that Gatti has lost to almost all of the good fighters he has face, well there right.

Either way this one goes it will be awesome, no doubt fight of the year. I have a hunch that Hatton may stop Gatti late, whatever the case I would cut off a testical too see it, thats serious **** too because I only have one to begin with!

Yeah and Vinny Pazienza said that his last fight(Pudwill?) was the hardest puncher he has faced.
Fighters say very ****** things sometimes.

That above post was supposed to be quoting about Joe Hutchinson saying Gatti was a weakling compared to Hatton.

Well thats hard to believe, Paz has been in with some good fighters and i have seen Tocker pudwill get a very bad beat down(i felt sorry him) against Calzaghe. But you dont have to be a good fighter to be a puncher.

The reason i believe Hutchinson is telling the truth is because Gatti should have been stopped against him(cuts) and only won on points. Hatton roughed him up and give him a good beating. The record suggest he's telling the truth.

Exactly the same with Mike Stewart, Hatton give him a terrible beating and he give Mitchell some problems, the record suggests that Hatton give him his worst beat down, like he said.

I dont read into that **** too much because styles make fights. even if Hattons strength makes Gatti look like a weakling, Gatti is still a very tough fight.
