Is Hatton the Best Fighter Mayweather Has Ever Faced?

[typeone]

Here's why Gatti was better than Hatton - he was quicker, he was more ring smart, he had a better resume and he scrapped anyone and everyone.

Here's why Hatton isn't as good as Gatti was - he's dodged everyone, he's fought three good fighters and struggled, two who were shot. He's a hugger, he has a questionable chin and he's slow. He's been troubled in his last three fights against average boxers and he's heading for a fall.

As for the Mayweather argument, that's you putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5.

By the way it's 'I'm', you ****ing illiterate jerk. Where did your education come from?

You sure??

Positive, absolutely positive.

Come on Mr Wigley. Gatti better than Hatton? Tyson's resume better than Lewis'? Next you'll be telling me Floyd is the GOAT.

[tredh]

Well damnit, I voted 3rd best, but I am editing that now. My rankings go:

1. Oscar De La Hoya
2. Diego Corrales
3. Genaro Hernandez
4. Ricky Hatton
5. Jose Luis Castillo
6. Jesus Chavez
7. Zab Judah

I would put Hatton at the bottom of that list. Its debatable between him and Jesus Chavez but Judah on top of his game and Hatton on top of his game I am taking Judah and a prime Castillo beats him

Come on Mr Wigley. Gatti better than Hatton? Tyson's resume better than Lewis's? Next you'll be telling me Floyd is the GOAT.

He beats Hatton, Cotto and Mosley, he ain't gonna be too far off...There's nobody who has his talent, there ain't nobody who has dominated their division for so long, unbeaten. Harsh, but a reality.

Props for the good argument, dude.

Joe Calzaghe.

Your argument is ridiculous. Gatti is nowhere near Hatton's level. Doesnt matter how many wars he's been in and LOST, he is not and never was a better fighter than Hatton is.

Joe Calzaghe fought two good fighters, Chris Eubank and Jeff Lacy. Rest were just sugar fights. Kessler will whup him.

Gatti would've murdered Hatton. If Magee floored Hatton, I'm pretty sure Gatti could have.

Ian your border line on making me think your a alt, your so on a wind up. If your not, i don't know what boxing matches you've seen most likely 1 round clips of youtube.

As for the topic 2nd best, De La Hoya is the best hes faced so far but De la Hoya couldn't go for 12 rounds straight like Hatton will be able to.

at the moment of the fight i think hatton is in the top 3. odlh gave him a good fight, but the guy didnt fight for a while and looked tired.

hatton is in the form of his life so i think he is top 3 on basis of form rather than name.

1. I'm not an alt, I wouldn't take the piss like that.

2. I have about 800 fights (full fights) on DVD, so that ruins your argument. YouTube is for losers, I've logged onto there once or maybe twice.

3. DLH is old, Hatton is young, but I'd give DLH more or a chance against Floyd than Hatton even next month.
