    Why do Floyd Fans compare Hatton to Gatti ?

    I have heard this comparison a lot on here and it is absolutely moronic. Gatti shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as Ricky Hatton in terms of skill and ability. I loved the wars and heart Gatti showed in his day, but he was a punching bag most of his career that was overhyped by HBO.

    ******s on here actually think Floyd vs Hatton is gonna be a replay of Floyd vs Gatti. I don't know if you certain people are ****** or you really hate Ricky Hatton enough to compare a p4p undefeated fighter to a real life human punching bag that was shot when he faced Floyd.

                Don't be a fool, Hatton is probably the best fighter Floyd has ever faced. DLH was past his prime when he faced Floyd, but a prime DLH would definately kick Floyd's ass. Hatton KO'd Castillo in 4, Floyd couldn't even do that in 24 rounds. Hatton made Kostya Tyszu quit, Tyszu was top 5 p4p at the time. I think Tyszu would have KO'd Mayweather if he fought him.

                  To put it simply, there is no way Gatti could have beaten Tszyu. I hate to triangulate but this is so expressly true, that anybody comparing Hatton to Gatti would have to be a moron.

                    Talk about double standards , ODH is over the hill but Hatton KOes Castillo ,, Hatton made KT quit ,, Castillo is the most over the hill of the three at the time of the matches ,, KT and ODH were at about the same degree of fade ,,, but there is one big difference Floyd gave ODH a stone in weight after just flattening Mayorga ,,, all you see is whats in your face one man against another , up to light heavy the biggest advantage you can have on an opponent is size and weight , Floyd beating ODH was a very big win because of the weight he gave him ,,, as far as Koysta beating Floyd I look at this way Floyd could beat anyone Vince Phillips can beat no problems .
