What it looks like to fight Ricky Hatton

[El Angel]

The noise he makes on his punches would scare me.

thats a ****ing brilliant idea..they should make ones with pacquiao and mayweather

[KingTito]

That was a cool video. His defense was still ****, and he kept his hands down constantly. I'm not **** talking, but I wouldn't say he's ever been at the elite of the sport.

Yea, that Hatton would have been a handfull for Manny in my opinion.

That was back when he was still ridiculous hungry and could still take a powerful shot. He looked fast and powerful. Any real boxing fan has got to like that.

That was the Hatton Tszyu got beaten by.

yeah this hatton must be from a parallel universe in my opinion.

[NYU Alum.]

Ricky Hatton would KTFO anyone this site.

I think Shawn Porter kicks his *ss.

[ummid]

sick vid, you can feel hatton's intensity. i almost miss the guy already, one of the coolest and most down to earth personalities i've seen.

[lefthook_86]

one of the coolest and most down to earth personalities i've seen.

hes down to earth in the sense that hes always knocked the **** out on the floor and thus close to the earth

[Chase8400]

the result would be the same. thing is, he never improved and his hands down brawling style is a weakness that was never corrected

You can be a Pac hugger all you want from now until the end of time and I couldn't care less.

The point is that Hatton's punch resistance has failed him. Pac is powerful, but people have forgotten that Hatton was buzzed in other fights he has won since the Tszyu fight wheras in that fight, he walked through hell and back and ate monsterous right hands that would make Pacquiao blush and kept moving forward.

In my opinion, Hatton has gained more and more weight between fights since becoming a world champ and it has taken a toll on him. We are seeing the effects. He will always still do well against guys who aren't super ring technicians or monster punchers, but put him in there with beasts like Pac, Mayweather and Mosley and sure he's going to lose at this stage......but......

............a little over 4 years ago in June, I'm not so sure.

It is a proven FACT that losing weight equals slowing in reflexes and errosion of punch resistance.

I.e........... Roy Jones, Chris Byrd, Ricky Hatton to name a few.

Prime Hatton was a handful, no ****ing doubt.

I been done said this


Problem is no defense, so he relied on just walking through punches, until his brain stem got too loose and he couldn't do that anymore.

Another problem I see is that he attacks with his mouth open, which makes him more vulnerable to a flush shot to the chin...

Was Judah elite before or after Tszyu smoked him in the 2nd round?

Hatton is elite. Does that mean he's the best 'boxer' in the world? NO, and it doesn't have to. People seem to forget he's lost only twice and that was to the absolute best fighters of this decade. Everyone loses to Mayweather and Pac. That's a FACT since 2000 or so when Manny became a man. (The Morales loss was due to a cut from a clash of heads)

That doesn't mean Cotto, Morales, Barrera, Delahoya and Marquez were all never elite.

There are some real boxing experts on here reading sometimes. Not that I claim to be one, but I'm just saying watch what mess you come on here and throw around.
