"True hatton only has one "big" win on his record over Kostya..but really Kostya only beat Zab? Not really fam. Tszyu may have been a shot when Hatton beat him, but was one of the most decorated amateur fighters in the history of the sport. He reigned as Juniorwelter champ from 98'-2005 clearing out the whole division. He is more then likely the second best jr welter of all time after Aaron Pryor.
Manny is a beast but come on Morales had been struggling with weight, had 3 fights with MAB and was already on the downside when Manny got to him. And on top of all that Erik won the 1st fight when he wasn't supposed to.
He gets mad love for his destruction of MAB for the 1st fight. The second was snoozer though.
His victory over maquez was a good notch on his belt. But almost EVERY ringside reporter had jmm as the winner. Even with the knock down Marquez easily out boxed him 8 of the 12 rounds in fight # 2.
Manny is an amazing athlete but beating a decrepit Oscar @ 147 dosent make manny king of the fighters. There is a reason him and freddie roach took that fight. Im willing to bet my life that Manny would never face cotto, margarito, mosely, collazo, or even clottey @ 147.
and @ his only fight @135 who did manny beat? David Diaz? He sucks!! Marquez knocked out Cassamayor (the real lightweight champ) and then Ko'd Juan Diaz (# 2 lightweight and a young hungry pressure fighter)
What i am trying to say is this..Manny has not been really tested above 130 (the weight he fought JMM @ for fight # 2) Ricky hatton has alot of flaws but has great foot work, raw power and will be his first real test at a higher weight"
