Hatton vs PBF: who is a better boxer?

[psychopath]

I haven't seen a lot of Hatton's fight but based on what I've seen Hatton can't be a better boxer than PBF. Am I at a lost here?

PBF can job and run. Punch and move out. Hatton always mixed it up, more of a slugger.

PBF is in a league of his own.

I don't know how you define pure boxing skill. Hatton's 5ft6 with a 65inch reach so obviously he can't work on the outside too well But the guy has a lot of boxing skills, always has had.

not compared to floyd. i said he has more pure boxing skills, vs hatton's kind of charging at you throwing combos type of style. his skills are underrated however

Did someone order the sub 1 second triple hook? (5 in under 2 seconds)

Bodybag (13 Mb)

Worth bearing in mind that's from the 15th and final round of Ricky's bodybag session before the Maussa fight..

He still looks fresh and that's after 15 rounds of relentlessly aggressive non-stop bodybag-pounding, sick stamina.

PBF - the best boxer in the planet.

Hatton - more of a slugger.

Hatton is much more exciting than Mayweather and can punch harder

Id say lb/lb Mayweather has more KO power. Id like to see Hatton go up three wieght classes and try to KO Shane Mosely...

Yup we have the same insinuation, these two have completely different styles. Maybe the thread starter meant who's the better fighter.

Nigel Benn - fan of Hatton.


Benn tips Manchester light welterweight Richard Hatton as his British star of the future.
He said: “I think he can go all the way. He keeps his cool and is a good body puncher.”

"I have never seen anybody in this country more talented than Ricky Hatton," Benn told the News of the World newspaper.
"He has every shot in the book. I think he is a class act."

Hatton throws corkscrew uppercuts and alsorts of custom punches that he and Billy come up with, the guy is amazing.
