Delahoya > Hatton

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Hatton's hook to the liver is better than DLH's body work. Oscar has to load up on shots. Hatton can get inside, throw a six inch punch, and take a guy out. He's much better at short distance fighting.

I've watched alot of Hatton recently. I don't think short, crisp punching is his sweet spot. His punches are wide-ish.

Can you refer to the best examples of Hatton throwing short, powerful punches, please. Which fights/rounds?

Oscar is better than Hatton in every respect? I beg to differ. De La Hoya doesn't have much of an inside game, he isn't as fast... and just to make that clear, he isn't as fast. He doesn't naturally go to the body, he's never been a pressure fighter, he doesn't have the stamina and never did. De La Hoya's left hook to the head is a killer but so is Hatton's left hook to the body.

And Dios, you can see examples of Hatton's short inside punches in every single fight apart from Urango, most of the punches he throws are short hooks, he has a clubbing overhand right which is also a short punch and his body-punching is all about leverage. You'll also find wide slightly sloppy punches in just about all of Hatton's fights too, it just depends on what you're looking for.

We've already established that you dislike Hatton to a rather uncomfortable degree, so I doubt you will be able to watch any of his fights and be able to pick out anything he does well.
