Fantasy fight: Adrien Broner VS Ricky Hatton 140lbs

[dan_cov]

You turn into a blind moron when you start talking about Broner....You are actually a blind fool if you think Ponce or Quintero won those fights. Paulie fight a gift? Wow... just wow.

And Battered by Porter...Battered you say? What utter fu(king rubbish, I've seen 12 year olds come out with worse punishment in sparring matches..

Guys like you who reserve your delusions for the few fighters you dislike are actually worse than full time trolls.

What is with the name calling?
People score fights based on different criteria's and I assure you many, vast majority of boxing fans & pundits had Broner losing those fights especially the Ponce fight. In fact I think you're the only person I've ever seen seem too think Broner won that one.
Paulie also had a very strong case for winning depending on how you score fights he outworked and outlanded Broner in virtually every round & by a large margin too.

I will always favour a guy forcing the fight, outworking and outlanding a guy content on sitting back doing bare minimal, throwing single shots & landing only the odd headsnapping shot here & there.

Rickey Hatton would beat the living dog **** out of that boy lol I don't think he'd finish him because he doesn't hit much harder then Maidana if at all but he's a terrible style match up for Broner. Broner has no foot work and would just stand in front of Rickey letting him be right where he wants. Hatton clinch, body punch, and work Broner probably pretty bad en route to an comfortable decision.

[Chrismart]

I'd pick Hatton for sure.

Wait so you can name call a world champion but I can't do it to you?

No people score fights like Ponce Vs Broner skewered as fu(k because the second Ponce starts having more success than he's "supposed" to they start scoring rounds for him. That is just the truth and it's the same thing that happened with Paulie.

I don't score punches that don't land on the head, I don't score them for Pacquiao and I don't score them for Paulie... he did a lot of work yes...But almost none of it clean and actually point scoring, why is it that when Broner catches punches on his gloves the opponent is being "active" but when others do it it's good defense? Compare and contrast that To Trout vs Canelo were Trout's punches were actually landing(albeit with pathetic power) but Canelo landed the bigger ****s. I actually watched that fight about a week ago and after previously having it 7-5 Broner...it was wider on a second viewing.

I'm not a Broner fanboy...I don't think he could go on a clean out the divisions to 154 or anything..But the horse***** spouted around here as if the man somehow talked himself into the elite part of the sport and doesn't have nasty hand speed,power and combinations is absurd.

Could he beat Ricky Hatton? I don't know. What I would bet on is that Hatton doesn't hit harder than Maidana and mostly likely won't bring that workrate. However Ricky didn't fight like Chino in fact he fights more like Gavin Rees fought Broner with a constant in and out motion....

Can Broner time him coming in? Yeah I think so, But Ricky was no joke.

To suggest the two are levels apart is simply ignorant, just ask yourself how Ricky would perform and Porter or Maidana and you'll see that.

Except Broner actually does his best work in the pocket. Ricky might win but he's eating a lot of hard counter in the process and Broner hits way harder than Floyd.

[FeFist]

Feel as though it is a fight Broner should win on paper but would end up losing, like his fight with Shawn Porter. He'd end up losing on points because he would get out worked and out muscled.

If he committed himself to fighting his opponent, I think it'd look like Mayweather vs Chavez. It wouldn't happen because Broner fights with a sense of entitlement.

[Derranged]

Where's this myth of Broner being a great counter puncher come from? When he gets pressured he just stands with a ****** look on his face until his opponent stops punching.

That's a good one.

Hatton was a pressure fighter and Broner has proven to be lousy at handling pressure. He's also proven to be average when facing opponents his own size. I think Hatton would've won, possibly by body-shot stoppage.

[IronDanHamza]

Hatton would beat him badly

Hatton has fast feet, he'd get inside with ease and maul the hell of him.

[Dinamita 03]

Hatton beats him worse than Maidana did. Broner has no idea how to counter his opponents.

I don't see where I name called him just stated Hatton was levels above him and he lost a lot of very disputed fights to C level opposition.

So you don't count bodyshots?

Well 7-5 is razor thin so not sure why you'd get upset someone could see it for Paulie maybe if I rewatched I'd see a different outcome/score as I very often do to watching fights live. By your own admission it was a close, close fight.
I recall Paulie landing a ton of leather to the body throwing 4-5 combinations and finishing upstairs whilst Broner proceeded to do bare minimal but shake his head no and laughably claim he couldn't hit him throwing the odd lead right hand once Paulie was done throwing.

The Ponce fight - The HBO were d*ck riding him and even they had him losing that fight. The Paulie fight I can see why some might of had Broner winning but not here, I think it was a clear bad decision.

Even if you have him winning he should not be going tooth & nail continually with guys like a seriously shot Paulie, Taylor and even struggling against Carlos Molina (the terrible one).

People seem to forget how fast Hatton's feet were, hell his footspeed & pressure was even giving prime Floyd problems. He was very fast & had a ridiculous engine at 140 before everything took its toll and a vicious body assault. I don't see Broner the tools or smarts to stop him getting inside continually and beating the hell out of him. Broner is not comfortable inside and has shown time & time again he needs time too think and space, a static target that stays in front of him he is not comfortable up close against a guy throwing volume and stepping across showing him angles.

We're talking a prime Ricky Hatton here too at 140 but I think a lot only seem to just remember him from getting dissected by Floyd and obliterated by Manny both of which are leagues above Broner in everyway, shape & form.

Everytime Broner has stepped up he has lost in my eyes (or at least gone life & death) his best win is like Ashley Theophane or a seriously past it Paulie. He's not even beat what I'd consider a B fighter.
