Gatti vs Hatton @ 140lbs who wins?

[RimmyDelicious]

This question is pretty silly, really. Hatton is an elite fighter. Gatti would have been beaten by guys like Maussa, Urango, and Lazcano at 140. I mean, Gatti was beaten by guys like Ivan Robinson and Angel Manfredy. Hatton slaughters him in 5 or 6 lopsided rounds.

gatti - hatton is over rated

No i think Hattons strength is underrated!

****** question: When was Gatti's prime at 140? I mean to say that after the Ward fights he was def. ruined and after the Floyd fight he was even worse. Before the Ward fights I'm not even sure he was filled out at that weight yet.

I guess the best time would be right before his first Ward fight.

So who would be your pic bsrizpac!??

I would've loved to have seen this. Gatti is a favourite. You know, the guy, he left his guts in the ring. I dont think theres ever been a fighter who has displayed as much heart as him. In that rd 9 of the first Ward fight, man, 99 per cent of guys would've beaten it outta there, those body shots were crippling. You can pretty much call Ward Mr. Body shot. But anyway...Hattons a little different, he can box too and generally he sets up his attacks with leaping jabs and head movement, going in a sort of curving direction off to his right or left before coming in with that jab or maybe a left hook. That movement makes him more difficult to tag, whereas Gatti could pretty much rip off combos on Ward like it were a punching bag moving into range. I think a lot of people underestimate Hatton as some kind of meatbag who goes forward with his face. It's a misconception. I think most people probably haven't even watched a lot of Hatton fights, the Tackie one, Oliviera, even Tszyu though that was more brutal and less polished a performance, but kinda necessary as Hatton had a plan to stay on KTs chest and set a high workrate...

Basically I think Hatton with his head movement and his quick moves inside, I dont think he gets tagged enough for Gatti to do any significant damage; I mean, I think sure Hatton gets hit a lot by normal standards, but he doesn't get busted up bad, and when he's inside he rips body shots and hooks into Gatti, out working him; not letting him have room to punch. It's a tough one. Gatti could box beautifully too but Ricky Hatton being physically stronger I see him as having the advantage on the inside and I think that's where much of the fight is contested. Hatton by points

Gatti would make it interesting for a few rounds because Hatton is and always will be hittable. In the end he'll be too strong and fast for Gatti. Hatton TKO 8.

I don't think there's any decent reason to pick Gatti.

After watching the Gatti vs Ward epic..I have always wondered what would havehappened if these two met @ 140 in the primes......I have seen Gatti take some brutal punches and come back raging to KO his opponents...I have also seen Gatti step back and box some and win on points.....Hatton has that mauling move forward style and never stops punching leans clinches and goes to the body.....I truely am tossed up on who I would put money on if they had fought in their primes......I even once had the computer (PS3) go head to head sat back and watched with a pint in hand and enjoyed an 8 round KO for Gatti.......i still wasn't sure ....what do you guys think? I am going to have to go with Gatti @ 140 in his prime on pure guts and determination alone......Lefty

@ 140 hatton would've beaten gatti.
