Prince Naseem

[FloydTBE]

Dont forget that Hatton fought for p4p title twice. fought alot of tough fights n got through them. Both greta champions in their day

[bcfc]

just so you kw they both made around 30 million in there career, so money is out of the answer.

Naz have beaten numerous former or current belt holders but Hatton can approximate this plus Kostya Tzsyu and a belt at 147.


Hatton

Ricky Hatton outweighs Prince Naseem by quite a margin. Prince gave up at the height of hiss career and it terms of talent alone, Prince was by far the more gifted fighter than Ricky but he retired way too early.

Ricky Hatton's legacy has forever been tarnished by the brutal knockout and the ******* scandal. But at least Ricky never backed down from a fight and strived to fight the best. If Prince had even half the heart that Ricky had then maybe Prince could have gone onto achieve a lot more in boxing but his achievements do not match up to Ricky's imo.

Yeah but Hatton lost to the P4P both time. getting beat up and retiring like that I'd say he didn't achieve his potential.

Hamed made a bigger impression on the sport. There is no question. Hamed fought five times in the USA. Once in the Garden and only once in Vegas. I assume he avoided Vegas as he mentions his disgust at the place regularly in Little Prince Big Fight, but I might be making it up. Hatton fought in the USA 6 times on 5 of those occasions in Vegas.

Hatton is a proper old school boxer. Thats what I love about him. Thats why I was a fan. No flash. Meat and potatoes and I wish he had been more successful, but he wasn't.

I'd say Hatton was more fun, a much more likeable character and more charismatic. If that makes you succesful, great. His biggest achievemnts were beating Kostya Tszu and Urango and knocking out Castillo.

Hamed's opposition whnen he was title holder was good too. Some great names in there. Kevin Kelley, Wayne McCulligh, Augie Sanchez.

I'd say it has to come down to the scorecard and the KO count.

Hatton: 45-2 (41 KOs)
Hamed: 36-1 (31 KOs)

Even that is pretty even but Hatton edges it then of course title defences is Hamed's record.

Hatton has something like 6 title defences if you don't count the WBU title.

Hamed has about 15 consecutive succesful defences. You can't hold onto a title for that long undefeated and not face good competition.

So that has to be Hamed.

Yeah, that was Riath, the Prince's brother.








The answer is Nazzehhh. Too much of Hatton's career success is a deception.
