    1. Castillo
    2. Judah (rds 1-6 were great, but faded badly)
    3. DLH
    4. Hatton
    5. Augustus

    DLH and Hatton are very close though in my opinion. DLH lasted 12 rounds and probably won 3-4 rds in the fight but he failed to apply pressure the whole fight. Hatton however was able to give pressure throughout the whole fight. Therefore id almost give it a tie.

      I'd put Hatton above Oscar just out of the fact Hatton just for the fact Hatton was constantly looking to win the fight right up untill he got beat where as oscar was'nt

        how can u rate them, Ricky fought Floyd at his peak when he was brimming with confidence after the biggest win of his career. None of the others did. On top of this all of the other fighters had at least one physical advantage over Floyd, ricky had none.
        Well, im saying is that hes not that versatile of a fighter. Theres not much to him, he applies pressure and sustains pressure the whole fight. He wins because he just flat out outworks his opponents. Often times overwhelms them. But the guy is just not a very good boxer. He has no jab but I think its partially due to his physical limitations ie) size, reach etc...

        With that said, hes got tremendous footwork, good head movement (when he chooses to use it), fantastic endurance and good power at his weight.

        So really, hes not a one dimensional fighter. But id say hes fairly limited offensively.

          Actually screw it. Im giving it to Hatton. He actually wanted to win the fight. And in my opinion looked pretty damn good throughout the fight as a result im moving him ahead of DLH.

          Also, id also like to point out that Mayweather is unquestionably at the peak of his career. Hes at his best at this point of his career. Therefore, I believe that DLH and Hatton fought a way better Mayweather than Castillo and even Judah did in 2002 and 2006 respectively.

            How many times are you douchebags gonan discredit ricky hatton for the fight against mayweather? Was it mayweathers toughest fight? No it probably wasnt, but at the same time ricky brought it to floyd, and floyd really had to switch things up in order to win. You could make arguments for all of floyds fight as far as who gave him the toughest time, but ricky hatton is a champion and brought it too floyd as well as anyone could have.
