Paul Williams vs Ricky Hatton @ 147lbs Who is the GREATER fighter?

[Dirk Diggler UK]

kostya was past prime when hatton got to him and was unmercifully mugged with illegal tactics allowed by your typical crooked british referee. kostya never fought again. Paul Williams win over a prime margarito is better than any win on hatton's resume.

A slightly older Kostya Tyszu is still ten times the fighter Margarito was. Coming from a Tony fan

I find it hard to believe some people actually voted for Hatton... Are British fans this fanatical?

At 147 P. Will stops Ricky Hatton early (>5 rounds) after overwhelming him with a deadly volley.

As far as I'm concerned Ricky's record at 147 reads 0-3 including two KO losses and robbery against Collazo. Hatton's legacy can best be summed as beating an old Tzsyu and getting KO'd by the two P4P draws.

Legacy wise I also like Paul Williams better, he was a top fighter in three different divisions where he sought and fought some of the most avoided fighters in each. I often wonder how much he could have achieved if he hadn't been avoided as much as he was or if he had been well managed.

'That' version of Tony would have probably stopped 'that' version of Tzsyu.

Hatton wasn't all that good at 147.

[KickAzz]

Hatton never belonged at 147

[Derranged]

And at "Collazo was robbed".. Twas a close fight that Hatton won by a **** hair.

Um....wow ok? One win makes a great career? Hatton beat Kostya Tyszu and was the top fighter at 140lbs for a few years. He had a better career.

Hatton never beat a fighter as good as the old Winky Wright that Paul Williams murdered.

P-Dubb put hands on the "Prime Margarito" that everone swears Floyd "ducked" (lol @ the thought of floyd being afraid of margarito).

He beat Sergio Martinez who turned out to be a sure fire hall of famer.

Williams made a man jump out of the ring and end his own career.

Even in his down years, at worst, he has wins over Ishida and Lara. I don't care how controversial, he won.

The above listed DUMPS!!!! on Hatton's career.

His best wins were over faded legends: jlc/zoo.

Hatton was a decent enough little brawler, but Paul Williams was out of his league.
