Better England Fighter Naseem Hamed or Ricky Hatton?

[Chunk..]

I vote for Hamed cuz he did everything wrong except lose, Mayweather was actually dieing to fight him

How good would that have been?

One of my dream fights, shame it never happened.

Anyone who says nas have you seen him latley?? He should still be fighting if he is to be considered an all time british great.
He got beat, **** himself and ran away.
True or not that is how he will be remembered.

Without Naz would british boxing be AS Worldwide as it is now. And would fighters like Joe Calzaghe and Ricky Hatton get the props they are getting now. After Naz came in Featherweights started making millions per fight. He didn't handle defeat well but my thread was Who is A Better Fighter Naseem Hamed or Ricky Hatton? Well liked is Hatton, A career after boxing probably Hatton, but better fighter HAMED.

My answer Naseem Hamed. Everybody was on his jock untill he lost to Marco Antonio Barrera. Besides the Kosta fight Hatton had never really beaten anybody. Hatton got knocked out by Floyd Mayweather. I am not asking who do you like on a personal level. But who is a better fighter.

Hamed was the better fighter, he had skills, speed and power... but as his career went on he neglected technique, discipline, and hard work.

Hatton doesn't have the same kind of talent that Hamed had, but has a much better personality.

Hamed easily IMO

Gayweather would have killed Hamed.

Too accurate, his timing would have ****ed him up bad.

The defintion of the word fighter isn't someone who gives up after they lose.
It's someone who continues until they can't fight any more. Like you said the thread asks who is the better fighter, not who showed flashes of being more skillful. Naz would win this vote hands down, he was certainly more creative, but I wouldn't call him a better all round fighter.

Hatton>Hamed

Hamed has the talent & skill to be great Hatton has the talent to be very good

I agree with you 100% but Hamed never reached his full potential.
He copped out, no one can accuse Ricky of copping out whether you like him or not. He has always given his all.
What makes it worse is Nasims constant threats to make a comeback when he clearly won't. He was more flashy, he was more skillful, so in that sense you could say he is a more skillful fighter, but by definition of the word 'fighter' he loses out to Hatton because Hatton has faught for much longer.
