Provodnikov vs prime Hatton

**MPX309** · 10-19-2013, 11:42 PM

I'm really not a fan of threads like this, I don't mean this disrespectfully, it's an interesting question, and a good match up, but for something like this, one punch could change a fight, from either side, So impossible to say.

hatton has great footspeed he'd be in on ruslan very quick and do his smother and hit style.

i think hatton would get hurt coming in but he'd survive to win.

Provo doesn't have the engine or work-rate to hang with Hatton who was also far superior inside. Short of a KO-punch (and Hatton was able to take Tszyu bombs in his prime), I don't give Ruslan much chance in that fantasy match-up.

A fighter like Provonikov wouldn't get his shots off against Hatton, Hatton would smother him.

Is "superior inside" a euphemism for "would clinch to death"?

If so, I agree. That would neutralize Prov pretty badly.

like THAT guy would beat Provodnikov straight up...as in, according to The Rules of Boxing, in a neutral locale with neutral reffing and judging....

No.

Provodnikov is faster, fiercer, hits harder, and has the better chin...he would batter the guinness and vinegar out of a peak Hatton....

Faster - No way not even close, Better chin - Again, no way it's better than prime Hatton, only thing he has over Hatton is power.

I didn't see this...you really are a God Damn idiot..if I had a dime for everytime I saw that in the bold.......

Tszyu did not land ONE stepped into right hand on Hatton's chin the whole night...

The best he landed were some flush stationary/backpeddling crosses...and those were few and far between since Ricky and Dave Parris were so busy ****in' him in the ass....

Ricky Hatton was a ****ing glorified B fighter from the land of Hope and Glory....he was nothing but your token top fighter, and he was as unprofessional as he was overrated...

End of story....DEAD.
