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

[Dynamite Kid]

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.

What ever son. Hatton will walk into Holt's counter punches and get knocked out. He is one of the best counter punchers in the game. Hattton walks straight in the front door with no defence.

You think Hatton gets up from the shot he hit Bradley with? because i dont.


If he fight on i will be willing to bet with you.

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.

Exactly the right hook was just a hip shot. There was no body in the punch and he still went over.

No he can't beat no damn 99%

Ricky Hatton's chin is in shambles. Once I saw that f'ng Paulie stunned him (stun not hurt) I knew it was bad. Paulie's got 0 power, he should've been bulling right through it. Then he fights Pac, looks a bit like he's on shakey legs to start and just about every punch is rattling him. Add no defense to it, and it's a perfect recipe for disaster.

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.




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.

stepped up? lol o yeahh collazos c class? r u out of your mind ? im sure u think bertos a class right ? come 2 starrett city gym around my way n tell collazo hes c class u have noooo respect for our sport or our champions ..and 1 punch to your head would change all that

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.

I agree.

Many people have been too harsh and negative since the fight. Hatton has faded during the past couple of years, but he would still beat mostly everybody else at 140 (except for Ortiz).

stepped up? lol o yeahh collazos c class?

C+ class/borderline B- class.

im sure u think bertos a class right ?

Not yet.

come 2 starrett city gym around my way n tell collazo hes c class u have noooo respect for our sport or our champions

I have no respect for the sport or your champions? Why because I categorized Collazo into a class system? You're an absolute fool nothing in my post suggested I have no respect for Collazo or "our champions", I have tons of respect for Collazo hence why I said he made Hatton look foolish but the fact of the matter is, there's much better fighters than Collazo out there @ welterweight. There was no disrespect in my post, you're just a prat.

..and 1 punch to your head would change all that

LOL.


P.S Way to completly ignore all my points about Hatton and completly fail to understand anything I wrote. You're an idiot. *Thumbs up* ******.

Every time I've seen Ricky fight he's always "almost lost." He always "almost gets knocked down, if not out." But at the same time I honestly thought he would be able to deal with Paq's punching power since Paq was never a one punch KO guy like that. Paq has to break you down somewhat. I knew Ricky was chinny, but that **** was just ridiculous. One square punch on the chin and he's out. He might have still been buzzed since the first round, he looked dumb in his corner after the first round, like he wasn't entirely there.

As for Mayweather ruining Hatton, lol that's bull****. Mayweather didn't even **** on him long enough to ruin him, might have ruined his confidence, but not in any physical aspect. Hatton's just never been able to take a punch and Paq caught him right on the chin. Hatton can still fight in England if he wanted to, maybe try one more time against a Ortiz or Bradley down the line..

I'm just shocked Ricky was even the top guy at 140 for that long, lol that division must have been horrible for a while. But the fighters Paq gets to snag belts off of are insanely perfect for him. lol That **** has to be divine intervention, lol I mean the fighters that were lined up for him couldn't have been more perfect. With the exception of Barrera and Marquez, every fighter he's faced in a big fight have been at the point where they should retire, or they were ass in general. lol That **** never seizes to amaze me..
