Ricky Hatton (circa 2005) v Brandon Rios @ 140 - Who wins?

[Larry the boss]

Richard by ko after a crowd pleasing war

Nice shout with this fantasy match up. I have only seen a little of Brandon Rios and he does remind me a lot of Ricky Hatton in more ways than one.

In 2005, Ricky was in his prime and he would have beaten Brandon Rios with experience alone. It is unfair on Brandon because we have yet to see him in a even match up.

I am just mad that he is fighting Murray instead of Mitchell. It just shows you how Frank Warren loves to keep his fighters in England. As much as the Hearns annoy me, they have taken their fighters from nowhere to the big stages in America within a year. Frank Warren will inevitably lose Degale and Groves if they are stuck in London fighting a bunch of journeymen whilst they see the likes of Macklin, Barker and Brook in big fights across the pond.

I'll second that!

rios is too big for hatton. hatton was very overrated as a fighter. his clam to fame is one fight with tszyu. i remember him getting tagged by carlos maussa CARLOS MAUSSA! rios dishes out punishment as well as take punishment and keep coming forward. you have to be a counterpuncher and boxe for all 12 rounds to beat this guy.ricky cant do that. ricky doesnt have the power to stop or hurt rios. 1st 4 rounds it wud be a war. i wud see bam bam breaking him down late TKO.

It was Mitchell who was suppose to fight Rios but with his recent criminal convictions he would have been refused a visa, that's why Murray got the shot.

Tsyzu was past his prime when he fought Hatton? You can not be serious. Hatton was a MAJOR underdog when he fought Kostya and Kostya was in the form of his career up to that point. In hindsight everybody is a genius and they come out with the most ridiculous claims but where were all the doubters before that fight too place?

I agree that Hatton was still a big underdog, which is why the win holds up so well, and Tsyzu was still the man in the division and had been for a long time. But he was 36 and had only fought twice in 3 years prior to that.

Rio walks through Hatton. It would end up being a battle of who's more durable and who hits harder and Rios would win.

..............just no
