Ricky Hatton underrated?

[grape drink]

larryx still thinks kahns better thn hatton .............

Khans resume is already pretty much equal to Hattons and he is only 25.

in reality i cant remember hatton winning a round in the floyd fight.all he was doing was rushing in and clinching................

common misconception. watch the fight again and you will see that it was floyd doing the holding. the HBO commentators pointed that out also.

i watched that fight like 10 times.. or more.. floyd was so skillful on that fight, by adjusting to hattons game and all that. quickness, lead rights and really difficult to hit.. hatton did okay in that fight because he is not hesitant to come forward or throw.. he has a bullying style which could've been perfect against floyd somehow, but he shouldve been stronger than that or a little smarter not commit all the flaws he did against floyd. floyd is a sniper. hatton should've better. he did well because of his determination and not hesitating to brawl. . floyds other opponents tried to box with him and wait and became hesitant to throw punches as the fight goes on. like oscar. mosley etc.. and i believe pac will also do the same thing. he would try to box and be hesitant to throw combinations because they'll get countered and definitely he will be outboxed. the game plan should be to pressure floyd and move as much as he does rotate against him, use lead left hooks and throw multiple combinations at different angles..

WTF!

hatton didnt get knocked out by a random colombian, or allow himself to get beat by a good fighter like peterson.

Khan has arguably got more potential so lets see how he does.

[FalconPunch]

Yes. He's one of two guys to beat Kostya Tzyu (sorry if I misspelt) and there's no shame in losing to Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather.

[talip bin osman]

he was clearly "the man" at 140 for quite a long time, was able to snag a title at 147 and his only losses came against the 2 best fighter in this era...

i think he is being underrated presently because of those 2 losses...

BUT it was very different when he was still active...

[TOBYLEE1]

Richy is a very likeable guy but he was over rated. The Collazo fight he looked terrible and his biggest win was Tszyu. He was one of the top fighters at 140 but really didnt fight any other top fighter in that weight besides Tszyu

Lol at you even thinking about saying something so ******. Hatton was a lineal champ and beat an ATG while Kahn has already been knocked out before he was a champ by a C level bum and beaten by another B level guy for his strap. Hatton won titles in two divisions and only lost to two ATG's.

Don't even try it. The Hatton that stopped Tszyu would have ran roughshod over Kahn and not have seen him or Witter as a blip on his radar.
