Ricky Hatton and Floyd/Cotto

[EMPOROAR]

Ricky may not have Ali's grace, Leonard's speed or Pea's defense, but his style is damn effective and he has great qualities. His body attack is superb, conditioning, footwork and attacks from all angles. He is a deceptively difficult fighter to contain and outbox. He's 43-0, so for all the criticism he receives as a grabber and holder, no man has yet dealt with him or beat him.

I believe he has the style and strength and punch to beat Cotto and he may very well suss Floyd. He attacks from all angles.

I personally like his style and love watching him fight. At least you know that you are going to watch a man give it 100% non stop effort. That counts in my book. He also has suvch a great following. He's got personality and he is also very likeable. That's what boxing needs and most of all, Hatton can back it up in the ring. He is the real deal fellas!!

beat cotto and suss mayweather?


damn

[ippo]

Well he does have a chance with mayweather even though a very small chance, but no way in hell does he ever beat Cotto.

[SpeedKillz]

he has no chance with mayweather, and an even smaller chance with cotto. is everyone forgetting that hatton looked god awful against collazzo, how the hell is he gonna beat cotto who is 20 times stronger than collazzo, and mayweather who is 100 times more skilled than those 3 guys put together. tell me that...

[The Surgeon]

Ricky Hattons my boi! I luv em! However i dont see em beating either of the 2 mentioned fighters, id roar my head off for him against Floyd tho! A win aint out of the question but i dont see it

To say a boxer with Hattons record, undefeated in 43 fights , comprehensive wins over Tszyu and Castillo and 2 weight world Champion, and say he has no chance over Mayweather and even less than no chance over Cotto is just ****ing ******.

One bad fight against Collazo, and you base your entire reasoning on it.
Forget about the other 42 victories and say all the other fighters were crap..

Mayweathers first fight against Castillo compared to Hattons 4 round demolition of the same fighter...yes... but....no..but...
One fight means little.
Look at the fights they have had, the problems with styles, weights,apathy, injury etc..and fighters strength and weaknesses..before coming out with ignorant sweeping statements.

He may not win, but he has a chance..

Typical narrow minded bull****.

You a Yank by any chance

well i call it american, but yea, i am. dont even think of going to sayin americans hate british fighters cuz i love calzaghe, i like david haye, buchanan, witter, and alot of other brit fighters, so lemme stop u in ur tracks before u go on about that.

ricky hatton didnt beat anyone, he beat 2 shot fighters, and the other fighters were, well... crap as u put it. no wait, lemme change that, tzsyu wasnt shot, ok so ricky did it beat his ass good, i will admit that he dominated him.

when he went up against a fighter who had some skill, he looked awful. yea he's got heart, power, speed, and good footwork, but cotto has 10 times more, and mayweather has 100 times more, so i stand by my answer. he has NO chance. sorry bud, no dis to ricky, i like him i think his fights are entertaining, but lets face it, he aint in that league...

[mick66]

You could be right..they may give Hatton a hiding.
It's not what you say about Mayweather and Cotto beating Hatton that I find difficult to understand, it's your totall disregard of him even having a chance of winning.

I find it arrogant.

Cotto has been exposed..glass jaw, judah fight..easy to hit...
Mayweather has won some even decisions...
They aint all that..
You've got them, in your mind, better than they are.

Try and be abit less partisan...and a little more realistic.
Maybe a little less biast..
If you were a booky you wouldn't be so confident..

One last thing....If he gave Tszyu a hiding I won't mention Castillo again.....How can you say he's not even in Mayweathers / Cotto's league..
What exactly does the guy have to do..

have more than 2 legitimate names on his resume. hatton is a great LWW, but mayweather and cotto are in WW, and lets face it, he's not in their leagues, if he was, he wouda stayed at WW and proved himself, but he ran back down to 140. hatton is a brawler with very little technique, IMO. any fighter with skills (ala floyd, cotto, mosley) would not have a hard time dealing with him. he is smaller than all of them and isnt as skillful. i'm sorry to offend u this is not bein biased or partisan. this is how i see ricky as a fighter. good, exciting, strong fighter, but he isnt a pound for pound guy. sorry...

[mick66]

Well..
At 140 lbs he'll beat anyone..and 2 weight World Champion and undefeated.
That makes him P4P in my book..
But Hatton's going back up in weight is he not...So where is he running to?

Who exactly has Cotto fought,even a WW , for him to be in a different league to Hatton.
Sorry he must have had a big fight and I missed it..

If you think Hatton has little technique, your talking nonsense..Maybe you don't like his style.

Frankly your still basing your entire reasoning on the Collazo fight.

Hatton is biggest growing fighter out there at the moment in terms of popularity and stature.
Maybe you'll be one of the last to realise what a good boxer he is..
I've been listening to the likes of you since the Tackie fight...(and he's still winning)
