Carlos Baldomir vs. Ricky Hatton @ WW

???

 

Baldomir by very close decision

Hatton was no welterweight

 

What an awful fight this would have been.

 

Perhaps. Hatton would win though on speed.

 

I'd take Hatton in this one, even considering his ineffectiveness beyond 140. Baldomir was tough as hell, but toughness alone never beat Hatton.

 

Agreed. This one of very few 147 MM's I'd pick Hatton to win.

MTF

 

Same.

Baldomir sucks big time. The only thing he had going for him was a massive cranium. Your average senior citizen has better speed reflexes.

 

Baldomir does indeed suck, but Hatton also sucked hugely at the weight

 

Baldomir sucked even more. Collazo would have defeated him.

His best wins were

Gatti (no explanation needed)

Judah (a pile of feces shaped like human being)

 

this is true

I could certainly envision Hatton winning

I just think its a close fight because Hatton sucked so hard at 147 that even a bum like Baldomir would push him

 

Well i think it would go the distance and Hatton would throw a lot more punches getting him the decision.

 

cant really sustain an argument against that, to be honest

it's a fair assessment

 

Glad you've seen the light. As I said, Hatton's edge in speed would be the difference.

 

It's the kind of style match up (like Tackie) where Ricky would effectively be 'the boxer' and use his foot speed to fight in and out rather than piling forward trying to push his man back with pressure. I actually think he'd overcome the size disadvantage with something to spare. 8-4 Hatton.
