Maidana = poor mans Ricky Hatton

[haverespect]

A prime Ricky Hatton probably would have finished Khan last night in the late rounds with pressure and being on his chest for 12 rounds. He would have finished him when he got buzzed.

Maidana is a great fighter but for someone who actually doesn't do much his stamina is shockingly poor.

He relies too much on closing down the ring and landing the big blows but doesn't have the stamina to do it and relies too much on power.

Khan was moving all night, and even though he started to gas in the late rounds his fitness is exceptional.

I'm dissapointed Khan didn't go for Maidanas body mid rounds, but obviously there was method in the madness.

Khan traded and took some huge shots and ****** uppercuts and he took them. I give him lots of credit for that.

im not too sure about that.... hatton as much as i like has nowhere near as much natural ability as khan and theres no way hatton would have had same chin as maidana let alone get up from that bodyshot..... hattons too one dimensional , would have been countered all night

Also his stamina is high, when you throw power shtos like he does, of course you will gas out, along with getting hit to the body and head.

Not sure ifyou box, but try throwing power shots for 3 minutes on pads and see how tiring your arms and body gets, then try it getting hit.

Just 3 minutes kills the body.

If you're a power puncher, you should be conditioned for power punching and not moan like you have that "it tires you out".

Yes I do do boxing, I spar with heavyweights, and if you really on power..you better have the fitness to back it up....Maidana didn't...simple as.

The bodyshot took a lot out of Maidana for the rest of the fight, don´t be silly man.

What pot have you been smoking today? prime Hatton had one of the best chins in the sport, he got as far as he did because of his chin. Ever watched the Urango, kostya tszyu, Collazo fights? Hatton had never been down until he faced Mayweather.

ricky hatton would have got ****ed up by both maidana and khan

The only view you have of Hatton is of his last 3-4 fights. If you followed his career there's no way Maidana would beat a prime Hatton...absolutely no way.

yeah sure he did... Because when he finally fought someone decent he got ktfo TWICE....... Costa tsyu is hattons best win and he is not all that i love ricky but i disagree

Hatton would have got hurt and done.

His style is not good with Cortez.

Let's be clear here, what you saw last night isn't Cortez's reffing style, it was based on who Cortez was being told to favour. Go watch Calzaghe v Hopkin where he let B-Hop hang on to him all night.

With regards Hatton/Maidana, Hatton would've massively outworked Maidana and wouldn't have let him breathe from the opening bell. He had the ability to beat him on the inside and the outside.

Finally, someone who actually knows something about boxing.

I'm sick of these part-time kiddy followers on here, who think they know what they're talking about because they've got Boxingrec and Youtube bookmarked.

prime hatton beats murders maidana and beats khan at this stage.

[any craic lad?]

Maidana threw over 1200 punches against Kotelnik 100 average per round the body shot took alot from him
