How does Ricky Hatton rate against historical 140 pounders?

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

That only safe thing to say here is that Hatton would not have beaten Duran. Everybody else is impossible to call.

Including Chavez and Whitaker?

[juancho]

he loses to Chavez,Whitaker,Duran,Taylor,Mcgirt, and those are the only fighters ive seen fight so yeah

You've never seen Aaron Pryor fight?




He was an intense, swarming, pressure fighter. Similarities with Hatton. Probably more technically sound. His level of comp is questionable...but he aggressively pursued a fight with SRL. Didn't seem that Ray was that interested in that scrap.

How do you see the following fights going? Assume the fighters in their primes at JWW.

Hatton vs. Julio Cesar Chavez

Hatton vs. Pernell Whitaker

Hatton vs Meldrick Taylor

Hatton vs. Kostya Tszyu

Hatton vs. Hector Camacho

Hatton vs Roberto Duran (assume 140)

Hatton vs Shane Mosley (assume 140)

Hatton vs Aaron Pryor

Hatton vs Oscar Delahoya (140)

Hatton vs Buddy McGirt

Hatton vs Edwin Rosario (140)

Hatton vs Miguel Cotto

He would loose to Duran, Mosley, Pernell, JCC, Oscar, Cotto, Camacho prob would beat him too in his prime.

He would defintely beat rosario, I'll give him that.

[kayjay]

He already beat one of them; he'd lose more than he'd win, but don't underestimate him

[-Hyperion-]

he beats tszyu,mcgirt and rosario, everyone else, he loses to.....

[Trevbutler]

Yeah I left Tszyu out, since it already happened.

[Ironside]

I think it is too early to call, I want to see how he copes with Mayweather , and his career is far from over so it's too soon to call right now.

I wanted to be fair to Tszyu and say a PRIME Tszyu.

I don't think that was the best version of Tszyu. Do you?

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

I think it is too early to call, I want to see how he copes with Mayweather , and his career is far from over so it's too soon to call right now.

How could it be too early to call? He is nearing 30 years of age and has had 40+ fights at 140.

I'm not asking for a career retrospective yet. But it is OK to do some fantasy matchups. He's no kid.
