Hatton=Vargas

[Gabe is beast]

Hatton had a great career going undefeated for a while. Just like vargas even though Vargas only had 20 something fights before fighting trinidad. Both as soon as they fought elite fighter for ricky flloyd and for vargas trinidad. Both suffered brutal knockouts. Then take on two tune up fights beat them and then go up against elite fighters again and get knocked out again. For vargas after the fight with Hoya he just got his ass kicked in every fight after that and becoming fat and not taking boxing seroulsy. I could be wrong about this but Ricky should hang them up its not worth it.

Hatton was as good as he was going to get. Vargas was rushed and could have been much better.

One major difference is Hatton's two losses were against the current top pound for pound fighters. I think Hatton still has enough fame to make a slight comeback against lesser opponents for decent pay then retire with some dignity.

I'm not defending Hatton by saying he only lost to two great fighters, that would just be an excuse. He lost because he can't compete at an elite level, but I still think he can push a few more out before hanging them up.

Co-sign. Good post. Vargas coulda gone farther had he not run into Felix so soon.

that comparison is disrescpectful to vargas.

vargas was the better boxer.

Interesting comparison...but as much as i like Hatton...Vargas's wins over Wright and Ike, are better then any of Hatton's wins in my opinion. Plus Vargas took Trinidad to the limits in one of the best fights i've ever seen, and the first time against Mosley he was very close to winning and was coming on strong at the end of the fight.

Vargas > Hatton
