    Ricky Hatton was an excessive clincher too

    If Hatton was an American, he would have been a fringe contender. He sucks.

    I always thought he was extremely boring witth his hit-n-grab style of fighting, kinda like wlad.

    How come he never got cAlled out for his boring style?

    Hatton was nothing like Wlad.

    Wlad clinches as a way to shut down his opponents. Hatton always fought and punched out of the clinch.

    Hatton beat the guys he had to during his reign at 140. He was outsized at 147 but still made time to fight the best fighter in the world in the middle of his prime.

    He only lost at 140 when he came up against a prime Pacquiao.

    He would not have been a fringe contender.

          He was never called out because he was deemed a Floyd bogeyman. Until he wasn't. You'll even have posters still crying about him not being allowed to wrestle in the fight.

              Hatton used it as an offensive tactic he'd go in hold and break to get punches off. Wlad clinches for his life until the ref has to peel him off his opponent.

                  Lmfao at hatton being an inside fighter.

                  Rabbit punching in a clinch is not skills.

                  British level
