Ricky Hatton can beat 99% of the fighters out there, but he's treated like a bum

Yes, I was one of the ones that said Hatton would beat Pacquiao. I thought his style would prevent Manny from doing what he loves to do. In fact, if Hatton's chin was better, it probably would've been a tough fight for Manny. But that's beside the fact, Pacquiao is the better fighter. No doubt about it.

My point is that Ricky Hatton is wrongfully treated like he's a bum on here now just because he lost to Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.

The fact is Ricky could beat 99% of the fighters out there, but because he came up short against two greats, he's nothing. Take a look at 140 pounds. Do you honestly believe Ricky is not one of the best there? Are you saying people like Victor Ortiz are better than Ricky now, just because of a loss to a great? It's dumb.

Ricky Hatton could probably beat everyone at 140 outside of Pacquiao and Marquez. That says a lot, but it says more about the high expectations that were set on Ricky after the Tszyu fight.

He was given a crown that was bigger than his head, and for that, Ricky is met with disregard and disrespect in the end. If I was a boxer I'd be proud to have a record like Ricky Hatton, and I wouldn't regret my losses either.

Hatton has been a great fighter and a great character in boxing, and he deserves his credit.

Yeah, true. That's boxing though. Either your in the top 10 p4p, or a Gatti/Mayorga type warrior, or your disregarded by fans of the sport, and nonexistent to casual observers.

Witter,Holt and even Judah would knock Hatton out now.

He cant take a punch anymore simple as that.

[Miburo]

I don't see him beating any of the top fighters in his division anymore. It's not just that he lost, he's deteriorated.

[Jeups]

i think Hatton COULD have beaten 99 percent of the fighters in his division, before he suffered his first loss to Mayweather

In my opinion he never bounced back from it, his only notably fight since then was Mallinagi an anyone who actually watched that fight could see it was hardly a monumental performance against bascially a one handed fighter

Hes shot, psychologicialy, hes finished and should be happy with his carrer and achivements.

He can't beat Urango? Witter? Holt? Kotelnik? Nate Campbell?

I agree when it comes to the very best, Ricky has come up short. But Ricky IMO would have a great chance to beat all of the above.

Urango didnt take a round off Hatton.

Hatton will fight Marques in the uk in fall you can bet your life on it.

He can't beat Witter? Holt? Nate Campbell?

No, he can't.

[Mir-44]

Ricki is a good fighter as long as he isn't fighting the p4p 1.

No, he can't.

Yes he can.
