    Is Ricky Hatton the New Mickey Ward?

    Personally I think that Ricky fights very simmilar to the style of Mickey. He looks a lot like Mickey. He has a lot of heart like Mickey.

    He obviously is a little better than Mickey was, but that is beside the point.


    I think that Hatton vs Mayweather could turn into the new Gatti vs Ward. What do you think about it?

    I see what you are saying about Ward and Hatton. That would be wonderful if Hatton and Mayweather's styles matched up well and they ended up fighting a trilogy.

      A ward mayweather triology would be great at 140. I think that a fight will probably happen between the two but at 147, which will probably **** everything up because Hatton will have a big advantage.

        No, I think he is the first Ricky Hatton!!!

        Besides Ward never won a world title, so you can't truly compare but I do see what your saying joeboxer.

            The essence of Gatti/Ward is two proven warriors who fight through blood, pain, and exhaustion in their effort to win.

            PBF just doesn't fit; no offense to him, but he's just so insanely good he's never had to really demonstrate epic heart and grit like Gatti and Ward.

            I think fights which would be more similar to Gatti/Ward would be Hatton/Cotto, Hatton/Corrales, and Hatton/Castillo.

                the style of the mayweather hatton fight would be incredibly different than that of the gatti ward fights

                    I understand the point, they are alike in a sense but Hatton's a much improved version of Ward.

                    I dont think Hatton vs Mayweather will be another Gatti vs Ward because they have far better defence but its still a good styles match, I think Hatton vs Cotto could be a good tear up like Gatti vs Ward was.
