      Duran was good but i saw him on Ch4 the other day put on the seat of his pants and to be honest he didnt look too great at times.
      Hatton to be unbeaten after 43 fights must be good at something to be able to win all the time. I wouldnt like to say he is as good as Duran but its not silly to talk about it and compare. IF hatton can beat PBF that would be special. A guy from England the best in the world. How embarassing would that be to the Americans. A little island like England havin p4p the best boxer on the planet.

        Duran put relentless pressure ,but he also knew how to slip punches as he was being aggressive.
        I just threw up in my mouth by reading about someone comparing Hatton to Duran.

          It would put it right up the americans to have Ricky Hatton as p4p king! I get so pissed when I read these forums, people just slagging off Ricky Hatton and saying he doesn't stand a chance against PBF.

          I hope Ricky can beat him, and then I will be straight onto this forum to listen to the sorry excuses. I can picture it now - "PBF took him too lightly" or "Well.....PBF was retired, so Ricky beat a retired fighter".

          I get sick of hearing how Castillo was shot, and past his best, and so was Tszyu. I dont believe that, but even if its true - so what? The fact is, Ricky HATES PBF and he will be in the best shape of his life. he will be relentless, Im not ****** enough to say Ricky is definitely going to win, but I know that it will be a good fight and Floyd Mayweather will get the shock of his life with the onslaught and physical bullying. It may not be pretty, but if he can bully PBF then he wont give him a chance to catch his breath.

          As I say, Im not saying Ricky WILL win, but Im just posting cos Im sick of americans who hate the Brits, and who have their ****s so far up floyd mayweathers arse its not funny. He's not invincible, and I for one hope Ricky proves it and shuts everyone up once and for all.

            Yes, it is. It is extremely silly.

              Why? They are about the same height and build. They have relatively the same type style and have been compared to another.
              They were both champs and they will have fought similar type boxers in SRL and PBF. But Duran was sparked out by Hearns i guess and lost to a brit, Kirklaing lang and Buchanan gave him a bit of a nightmare. SO lots of things to compare i suppose if u look deeply.
              I loved Duran and his legacy though.

                There's obvious comparisons between Duran and Hatton. They have the same attitude in the ring and the same attitude out of it. Both fighters are known to eat and drink too much and blow up between fights. Both are known to be utterly without remorse within the ring, to want nothing more than to hurt their opponent. Both fighters are very much tied to their roots, and are very generous with old friends and family. Duran was better than Hatton is but not by much. A fight between Hatton and Duran would be an interesting one to say the least.

                  I hope hatton wins but dont make it a country vs country thing, please.
