Ricky Hatton deserves the utmost respect.....

As DLH would say, "styles make fights".

Splendid! :bears:



it's "Cheetah" btw...

 

hatton fought cans and washed up foes till he got to tszyu, who was old and worn out himself. excluding tszyu, floyd, pac and possibly jose luis castillo (who was shot), his resume sucks.

 

This.

Ricky Hatton has no cars, yo.

 

If by struggles you mean gets knocked the fuck out very, very early... I agree.

 

That would be quite the struggle.

 

I've just been bitten by an Asp, watch me struggle.

If you see me stop struggling, its cos I've won.::

 

Yes, but has success early, then tszyu lands a bomb and it's goodnight sweetheart. I admire khan, but I see him doing a judah dance here before collapsing to the canvas.

 

You're having a bubble, I predict a struggle.

You wouldnt call Hattons hook downstairs world-class? His endurance? His heart?

 

Watching Hatton's hook to the body used to make me feel all warm inside

 

yep they all where. mtf is like a robot

 

Yes, but look at the guys who had world-class left hooks downstairs and see how Ricky matches up with them. His foot speed was quite simply exceptional. Take away his left hook to the body and he can still win fights. Take away his foot-speed and he is probably Mickey Ward.

 

Without the chin, or lefthook to the body. ::

 

Hatton hurt anyone he hit with the hook, and could take them out. Ward paralyzed guys but I'm not sure they were as good as the guys Hatton was beating in the first place...but, ounce-for-ounce, his hook was probably better.

HAttons chin was fine. In fact it was solid. Ward never fought a guy as good as Mayweather at 147 so who knows. And Ricky was Gerry Cooney in the health department by the time he go to fighting Pac. We didn't know it at the time but we do now.

Hattons superior foot-speed allowed to win fights that would have seen Mickey Ward walk-forward all-night-long in a hema-depleting attempt to land a left downstairs.

 

I'm just kidding. Although I do think Ward did have a better chin and bodyhook. Even without foot speed, Ricky probably dominates him.

 

its a disgrace to hatton to mention ward in the same sentence as him. hatton wouldve beat him to death.

 

Ward UD Mayweather

 

probably?

 

time to pop in a tape of Phillips vs Ward

 

Yes, but later in his career his body hook disappeared as he relied almost solely on his horrible leaping hook. His endurance and heart were excellent, but ALL world class operators should have these as par for the course IMO. They are not 'exceptional' to Hatton.
