Ricky Hatton vs Juan Diaz

[Silencers]

Come on he unified the division

Against Freitas and Julio Diaz who are not as good as Hatton. I want to see how he does against Campbell first and then maybe Katsidis, if he beats them impressively, maybe I'll give this a second thought.

Edit: I forgot about David Diaz, I want to see that fight too.

Hatton by a late KO. I think people underestimate him as a pressure fighter especially against a smaller man.

I dislike the way that Hatton has been devalued after losing to Mayweather, the best fighter on the planet. Even though he got beat up bad toward the end of that fight, Mayweather was very uncomfortable throughout the duration of it trying to deal with Hatton.


Diaz is a very good fighter though.

Diaz is too small for 140, he should probably drop down to 130.

I would pick him over Hatton.

[Jim Jeffries]

You can do that for any fighter in the world.

Who has Diaz beaten at 135 exactly besides an way past it Freitas who was fighting once a year prior to the fight and had already been known as a quitter against Corrales. Julio Diaz who got stopped by Castillo and stopped by a journeyman from Mexico? Angulo? Irwin? C'mon man.

At 24 Diaz has single handidly almost completely unified his division. What was Hatton doing at 24? Ricky didn't even fight for a major world title till he was 27. Who do you think is the bigger talent? Is it any suprise that Hatton is going after Gavin Reese?

Couldn't agree more. Hatton has been devalued since PBF. But, I think he was overvalued before it. SO I think everyone's in the right place right now with Hatton. His pressure style would wear down Diaz. Diaz would have to catch Hatton ALOT early to win. I think it would be a very good matchup.

Freitas and Julio Diaz >>>>>>>>>> Campbell and Katsidis.

Who has Katsidis beaten again? He's the flavour of the month and after Diaz beats him, people will label him as a bum.

Honestly, I think Campbell will be Diaz's toughest test.

Hatton is waaay too big for Diaz. Diaz is a little fatboy at 135 lbs, and Hatton is a fatboy at 200lbs. big difference there

it would be fun to watch unless Hatton clinched nonstop like he has been fighting lately tho.

[Ironside]

Hatton's much bigger, he would bully Diaz and eventually KO him.
