Maidana = poor mans Ricky Hatton

[any craic lad?]

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.

What so someone agrees with you so they know boxing and people with an opinion different to yours dont.Typical NSB

Maidana would knock Hatton out. At 140 Khan has a better chin than Hatton.

Prime Hatton would have been an interesting match up with Khan. early Hatton had a great chin, and was even more relentless with pressure fighting than Maidana. not sure about the power, i think Maidana has heavier hands, but he's a lot slower. Khan should have been able to outbox prime Hatton and win a UD and possibly knocked him out the way Mayweather was able to but that's only if he was ouitworking Hatton all the way through 12 rounds. Hatton was a little beast in those days, the Collazo fight proved that, i dont know why so many write him off as a bum these days. he never had any problems about moving up in weight and fighting bigger guys when he was the money draw. he could of had ridiculous cath weight demands. anywyas enough about Ricky, Khan and Maidana was a great match.

Maidana lost the leverage in his punches in the later stages.. it arguebly cost him the fight to. Khan was in all sorts of problems after 10'th round, Maidana just didn't have the pop in his punches to do more damage to him, it was frustrating to watch for him tbh. Maidana looked to tired to finish it off, although he showed the desire to try and put him out, he was very close.

Credit to Khan for pulling through, he shouldn't put himself in this posistion in future fights though.

Lmao that is a silly assumption to make. Hatton would beat both of these guys in his prime. I keep hearing Khan will outbox these elite fighters, he didn't 'outbox' Maidana in the later rounds. The pressure of Hatton would get to Khan, there is no way he survives the 10th round with Hatton.

amir would batter ricky hatton on the way in

ricky's only chance would be to maul him and tire him out

your comparison is rediculous


maidana is a TNT puncher / stalker
he's a knockout artist inevery sense of the word, he doesnt try to win on the cards
he looks for an opportunity to stop you whenever that might arise
maidana cuts the ring off to land, not neccessarily to pressure


ricky was a mauler without a huge punch
he wore guys down and turned it on late and applied pressure

[Bastian Loc]

There is nothing similar about them.

Terrible comparison.
