Ricky Hatton, For Americans

[Undefeated]

yea man... that fight is likely to happen...probaly after the winner of corrales vs castillo...but if cotto fight one of them im assuming that he would want to fight a nobody then take a fight with hatton... or maybe not..

im american and ricky hatton is one of my fav fighters today. hes exciting, he wins, he unifies, he semi-dominates, he can take it, he can dish it out, he can go the distance, hes got heart, hes aggressive, hes got skill, and i think that ricky hatton is the one person who can be the one to hand floyd mayweather jr his first defeat.

I'm interested to know how our boy ricky hatton is perceived amongst the boxing aficionados over your side of the pond?
A stream of greats have come from America, it is rarer here, i think Ricky's looking good, focused.
At this point in time i believe he is a huge threat to the welterweight division, his relentless attack is excellent in negating opponent's superiorites in speed and boxing skill.
It is understood that there are many exciting fights that can be made and he is prepared to stand to any man, showing his true heart. I think he's got real potential.
Your Thoughts?

Ricky hatton supplies tons of energy and makes for GREAT ratings in my opinion.

watching him for a few rounds gives you more excitement that 10 current heavyweight fights...haha

its true.

i think hatton fairs better at 140 that 147...

i think if you want to see hatton be dominant it will be at 140. he would be competitive at 147 and be a VERY legitamate threat but i think he wouldnt get further than 2nd contender (behind cotto).

at 140 i can see him unify the titles to be honest and think he would be in jr welterweight what floyd is in welterweight...it would be ricky hatton on top with everyone else below him.

What makes him successful doesn't translate against welterweights so well.. He had trouble with Collazo. He's great at Junior welterweight. He should clean it up and dominate it. He'll be due to retire before being able to move up in weight and be great again.

America loves Hatton.

That is if you enjoy punch and grab action. He is no different than John Ruiz even worse. He throws one punch then grabs his opponent, push them into the ropes, throws one-two, grabs and waits for the ref to break them up and does the very same thing all over again. Did I mention that's how he beat Kostya?

another example of american open mindedness and unbiased opinion. the british fans have something to learn from the american fans.

Funny that was Floyd Mayweather's tactic against him for at least four rounds. Is it "Mad Skillz" when Floyd does it?
