Matts has become underrated as of late (and some of that is warranted). He's a quality fighter. Stylistically, I think Matthysse's offense is too good against Ricky's lack of a solid defense. It would be one hell of a scrap tho.

Ricky Hatton vs Lucas Matthysse at 140?

Originally posted by Salim_Shady View PostI may be biased but I don't think Ricky fought anyone as hard hitting and Matthysse. He had some phenomenal performances, notably against the likes of Kosta Tzuyu but I don't think he'd be able to push Lucas around and outbrawl him. Before anyone brings up DG, him and Hatton fight nothing alike. Who takes it and why? And how does the fight play out?

He wouldn't have been matched with Lucas unless he was a 35 year old vs a prime Ricky in his late 20s.

There's only 2 fights Mayweather held excessively, Hatton (the first 3 rounds) and Maidana 2, out of those there's only one where he looked very uncomfortable and that was Hatton.

I see this fight playing out as an inside war from the opening bell. Ricky Hatton was tough as hell and he would take it to Matthysse and probably have an early advantage smothering matthysse's punches, but I see him breaking down as the fight wears on. Matthysse has the stamina and durability to hang blow for blow, and his power would eventually be more than Hatton could handle. Matthysse by late stoppage.
