Hatton-Kostya : Who has fought better opposition?

[PBDS]

Kostya has a total of 33 fights, and Hatton a total of 38.

Kostya's opponents have a total of 118 losses.
Hatton's opponents have a total of 353 losses.

sure, Hatton has five more fights, but clearly you see what I mean.

.....Yeah those numbers are hard to dispute.

This isn't even up for debate. Jake Rodriguez was a tough, experienced titlist. Tszyu fought him and KO'd him in 6 in like his 14th fight. His pro debut was against a guy who was 7-1. Tszyu's competition is FAR superior.

Kostya Of course but

Hatton has fougth some good ones too:
Tony Pep 42-7-1
A.N.Rios 35-2-0
Ray Oliveira 47-9-2

but there is no competition against:

Sharmba Mitchell 55-3-0
Julip Cesar Chavez 104-4-2
Miguel Angel Gonzalez 43-1-1
Oktay Urkal 28-0-0

I agree about HAtton being impressive against the opponents that he faced, but I don't agree that Mayweather and Cotto wouldn't **** on those same opponents like Hatton did. I'd actually go so far as to say they would beat them in more impressive fashion.

I depends on how you rate fighters, Hatton destroyed the fighters he's been in with by giving them a beat down, you might rather watch Cotto or Mayweather working the jab more but IMO i just dont think its possible to do a better job regardless of the styles you like.

I think they would give his opponents a beating but no better than Hatton did, maybe the same but not better.

my lil sister fought tougher competition than hatton

Can everyone forget about Hatton early pro career, please!!

Hatton turned pro at 18, just a kid! He should have fought easy opponents at that stage, Kostya was a seasoned fighter(200+ am fights) by the time he turned pro!!

There is no doubt Tszyu has faced better fighters than Hatton but some of the stats i've read are meaningless.

I'd much rather everyone rate his pro career from the age of 21, when he was a man

lol I'm just messing

Not to mention Zab Judah, Diobelys Hurtado, and Jake Rodriguez.

I'll never forget what Zab did that night when he tried to get up..

Zoo's resume is better but it's not as great as you try to make it sound.

tszyu has a better resume than mayweather. they're my two favourite fighters today besides tito trinidad, but i think tszyu has slayed some mighty oppponents
