Ortiz was #2 at ww,prime and coming off of a huge win.........just saying -
i think Paulie Mag. is the ultimate gatekeeper and decider in this question. If he can beat you your sub par. But Hatton destroyed him. Bradley would get outworked. Garcia and Peterson too. If Hatton didnt test himself against 2 of the best fighters of this era Bradley and all them would be nobodys right now.

The man lives of his one upset. Over a 36 year old Tszyu who announced his retirement in the ring that night.Originally posted by Derranged View Post
He had two more legitimate opponents the rest of his career. He ended both of those fights on his back. I hate Pacquaio and I legitimately thought he killed Ricky in that fight. I actually thought I was witnessing death in the ring. Thank god that wasn't the case.
Ricky Hatton is an overweight, alcoholic glutton who has one of the most unwatchable styles in boxing of the past half century. He has fans because Brits love boxing (which is good) and Brits have no boxers to be proud of (which is bad).
Over the past week or two people have been talking about Ricky like he walked away from the sport at the top of his game and now he is coming to regain his throne. Ricky gave his all to the sport, true, but Ricky left with nothing. Which is what he remains today, which is how he will be viewed in boxing's analogues. Tough shit.Comment

The only person his size that i think could beat prime rickey from the last 5-7 years besides manny and pac is Cotto. Who could box and be the bully. I think Cotto is a much better technical boxer today who can fight backwards now. But prime cotto at jr and welterweight had size speed and power. I think itd be a war with rickey landing some big shots but i think cotto lands cleaner blows and squeaks by a decision.

Marquez too hes a counter assassin. He counters your combinations with lethal accurate pin point shots. I think that's another war we missed out on. Would lean towards Marquez but thats just 2 people i think could beat him besides his losses already.
The top 5 at 140-147 the last 5-7 years is
Floyd
Marquez
Pac
Cotto
Hatton
Far from subpar.

yeah that was a great win for sure...ortiz was only 2 because floyd wasn't in the rankings at that time. so when floyd fights someone ranked 2 it looks more impressive than it really is because he would be 3 if floyd wasn't so inactive. it's also the opposite for pac. he will fight a guy ranked 3 or 4 but the first 2 are him and mayweather and the other guy he's already beaten so he's really fighting the best guy available because we know floyd won't fight him. is floyd fighting the best guy available if he's fighting guys ranked 2? nope. great spin though.Originally posted by Mr LarryX View PostComment
