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

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

No he cant.

Urango is a better fighter now and Ricky is not the same fighter he was. You are being delusional if you think Hatton can beat Holt or even Witter.

Holt is one of the best counter punchers in the game and he can punch. He is one of the worst opponents Hatton could face. Id put money on anyone who could punch to KO Hatton these days.

Damn dude, youra acting as if Hatton is a bum or something. I mean, let's see....he lost against arguably the two best fighters in todays game.

I don't think Hatton is done physically, I think the question is where he is mentally. Hatton style is a tough one to adapt to and unless you are Pacquiao or Mayweather, it will be tough for any fighter to overcome that.

I think people call Hatton a bum because they themselves are couch warriors, never having put on gloves and don't understand the game of boxing as well as they think they do.

Hatton still get's my respect.

I don't think Hatton recovers psychologically from that bone-chillin ko....jeesus he had his fiance shuddering.

You need to come to terms with reality Ricky is done as force at any weight, he fights again against a top fighter with a bit of a dig he will get stopped again.

There's no question Ricky's best days are past him, but I don't agree with saying Hatton gets Koed against anyone with a punch.

Holt is crap. He's one of the more overrated fighters around. We wouldn't even know his name had it not been for that clash of head's/fluke KO against Torres.

Ricky beats Holt too.

No trust me, he can't.

Trust me, he can.

Im not saying he is a bum. Im saying he is done physically. He is not the same fighter he was.

I know where to come for a bet, if he decides to fight on? Hatton is finished..........the truth.

Haters and trolls will never gave Hatton credit and they never will. They picked every fighter to beat Ricky since 2003 and there was always an excuse for every one of his victories...

Hatton still has a solid chin, it's just hard to brace for punches you don't see coming which is what happened against Floyd and Pac. Not many fighters have Pac and Floyd's speed, power and skill level at JWW or WW, so Hatton will still beat most fighters there and get zero credit for it like always.

I thought Witter, Holt and Bradley were all capable of beating Hatton pre-Pacquiao, now I'm certain of it. Hatton got hurt by Juan Lazcano and tbh he was dropped earlier in his career aswell his punch resistance never was that great, Hattons not a bum he's a good champion but after that crushing loss to Pacman he's never gonna be the same imo.

imagine floyd stepped up n fought mosley cotto margarito williams ..u think hed still be 39 and o ?

Floyd stepped up from super featherweight so that arguements down the ****ter. Especially when you consider Hatton can't even move up 7 lbs without being made to look foolish by C+ class opponents (Collazo). I'm not gonna miss Ricky Hatton he used his fans for his own financial gain and betrayed some of his closest friends, **** Ricky Hatton he was entertaining but miss him? No.

That punch that Pacquiao landed on Ricky knocks out every single 140 pound fighter. Period.

How about the first right hook that took him down or the fact that Manny landed 79% of his punches on Hatton. Hatton takes to many punches and he doesn't have the chin to back that up. Fighters like Ortiz, Holt, Torres with real pop in their hands would knock him out.
