The Prime Years of Ricky Hatton

[deevel79]

Even though you tried your best to make Floyd's resume looks like crap you cannot deny that his 38-0 resume is better then Ricky's 43-0 resume.

Floyd became a world champion at 17-0 and has been fighting world class competition since. Hatton has fought bums and over the hill fighters in manchster until he was 38-0 and then finally got a title shot and defeated Tszyu.

Facts......don't try to get it twisted.

I never said that Ricky's resume was better than Floyd's. I was only responding to Dios's post regarding Hatton's resume. Did i post any lies regarding Floyd's resume? If i did, i will correct them and appoligize. Im a man who usually admits when im wrong.

This thread should do well. There's alot here for discussion.

To begin with I'll say that calling former world title holders "C level" fighters is pretty ******* useage.. Objective; I can't quite agree.

..

Arturo Gatti is a two-time world title holder at two different weight classes. Would you say that he is a C-level fighter?

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Why even bother? This is a lie. This "analysis" is not objective. And I don't understand why you have such a determined agenda of diminishing Hatton as a fighter. You do realise that should Hatton lose you will not be able to say **** about the victory because you're already setting it up as a meaningless win over inferior competition?

Let me go on the record:

If Floyd wins, he gets no credit from me. I will just say that Floyd was who I thought he was, and Ricky was who I thought HE was.

If Ricky beats Floyd, then I am wrong, and Floyd is not as good as I think. I would have overrated him.

ON. THE. RECORD.

Yes you did. You gave your opinions regarding most of his fights and all was negative. Fact is, his resume is levels above Hatton's.

Maybe Dios shouldn't have dissed Hatton's resume like that because it clearly ruffled some feathers in here.

Ok genious. Point out where i said that Ricky's resume was better than Floyd's? In my last post, i clearly said it wasn't!

You didn't. Like I said you listed a bunch of his wins and gave your opinion of those wins. And those opinions were all negative trying to measure up to Dios's negative response towards Hatton's resume.

Didn't work.

How about resume of Floyd? The so-called #1pfp fighter in the world

Oscar- Great champion of his day, but well past it at the age of 35 when Floyd fought him. Was inactive and had only 2 fights in 3yrs when Floyd faced him. Not to mention, it came down to a 1 point split decision in favor of Floyd.
.

You embarrassed yourself in the opening, and I stopped right there.
Oscar was 33 years old when he signed to fight mayweather and turned 34 right before the fight.


You also forgot to mention that Oscar IS STILL one of the 2 or 3 best fighters at 154.

Very True. At least Ricky is willing to cross waters to face top opposition. Can we say the same for Floyd?

Deevel and Unseen,

Is this an admission that Hatton's resume is ****ty?

Are you blaming Frank Warren? Because, there has to be something to blame....right?

You can't defend Hatton's record and then fault Warren for the level of opposition.

Take your pick.

So ricky doesn't get no credit win or lose right? Just that Floyd is overrated? Funny stuff.

Prime or no prime. Hatton breaks Castillo's ribs eventually. Did you not see the difference in strength and handspeed? Hatton broke Castillo's will early. It was unheard of what Hatton did. You just dont do that to Castillo.

There is a big difference between "out of prime" and "shot".

Oscar Delahoya is past his prime. Is he shot?
Shane Mosley is past his prime. Is he shot?

Was Castillo a shot fighter? The consensus was yes. He was stumbling over himself in the first round.

Let's not even mention that castillo wasn't getting paid and his brother had just died, We won't even include that.
