    Ricky beat 2005 Tszyu. Could he have beaten the Tszyu of 5-6 years earlier?

    Essentially reverse the result of their actual fight. Hatton crowds him, gives him all sorts of trouble but is broken down and stopped in about eleven.

    But I wouldn't be surprised if he did win. After all, Phillips did.

    Yes. I think the "shotness" of tszyu against hatton is vastly overstated. He was coming off one of his most impressive performance.

    Ive always maintained that hatton was a better fighter.

    I never was a fan, but he's now very underrated, because of the Pacquiao beatdown. But that pacman was an absolute savage

    How so has Hatton become underrated? No one calls him a scrub, or says that he wasn't a very good fighter.

    But also, no one considers him a great, because he wasn't.
