do you think jmm wouldve blown hatton out as well

[The Gully Gad]

Yeh i doubt JMM would blow him out like Manny did but he'd wear him down and either stop him late or win on the cards...

[ßringer]

In response to the TS's question the styles would make the fight. JMM doesn't have the style or power to blow Ricky out early. It would be a completely different fight but with most likely the same outcome. He probably KO's him late, unless Ricky gets lucky and tags him with a solid shot early on.

Even if Ricky did land something significant at whatever point in the fight ; it wouldn't change a thing.

Marquez has shown time and time again that his recovery skills are excellent.

Pacquiao dropped him and had him hurt 3 times in the first 3 minutes of the first fight, and he still couldn't finish him off.

Diaz was all over him early and had him significantly wobbled with that left and Marquez came right back with guns blazing.

And Ricky's a sloppy finisher. He's not like a Kelly Pavlik or a Paul Williams who picks his shots extremely well and knows how to get you out of there.

He's the type whom jumps all over you once he sees you're hurt and gets extremely careless.

Against a masterful recovery artist and technical counterpuncher like Marquez that wouldn't suit him at all.

Marquez would punish him over the course of the fight and take him out late, probably on a referee stoppage due to accumulation rather than a full on KO.

Styles do not make fights.

That's just a bull**** cliche the HBO pundits spew and it sounds good so uninformed fans eat it up.

Truth be told ; the better fighter always wins regardless of the styles.

So Antonio "Dr. Doom" Margarito is a better fighter than Cotto? I'm going to quote this just so you know.

[The Gully Gad]

Also Hatton would dam near eat every one of those flashy combos JMM puts together

[THE REED]

I never said it isn't true every once in a while but it's completely overblown.

For every example you just listed you can find 50 examples of the better fighter winning regardless of the style.

And Roy's loss came because he was shot, not the styles at all.

You didnt?????????? Maybe you should re-read what you said

THats actually, exactly what you said...

Roy may have been shot but he lost because glen johnson was a volume pressure fighter, and roy didnt have the stamina to deal with that style.

[Bushidō]

he would have stopped HAtton but not that early

[Iceta]

We all know that JMM would spark Hatton somewhere along the way. So this thread is pointless.

See ; above.

Margarito is a bad example because we don't know whether or not he cheated against Cotto.

But assuming he did ; no.

Assuming he didn't ; Yes, he is a better fighter than Cotto.

You seem to be misunderstanding me thinking that I'm saying Margarito is better technically, and that's not the case ; Cotto has the better technical skills.

But technical skills have nothing to do with being the better fighter.

Margarito is the better fighter because he's willing to eat everything you have to throw at him in order to get the job done because his skills are so horrible.

That makes him the better man in a fighting situation, not a boxing situation.

Clear enough?

Once again ; I never said it isn't true on an occasional basis.

I'm talking on the whole here.

And on the whole, the better fighter wins 7 times out of 10.

And Roy's stamina had nothing to do with his style and everything to do with the fact that he tanked.
