Hatton smothers his work and out works him, clear points win.
Hatton had a granite chin, I can't see Prov getting him out of there. It's a shame that whenever Hatton is discussed in a fantasy fight, people only remember his fights against Mayweather & Pac.
I'm very surprised by the poll results and the comments here. How does Provodnikov beat a prime Hatton? It took 2 of the greatest fighters of our generation to beat Hatton and even the great Mayweather struggled for 5 rounds. Provodnikov would get hit hard and often, it's a great fight that goes 12 but noway does Provodnikov pull out a win.
I've read people in here say that not only did Hatton have a better chin but also more power than Ruslan. It really shows you how obsessed and brainwashed the Hatton(English) fans are for him.
I didn't see this...you really are a God Damn idiot..if I had a dime for everytime I saw that in the bold.......
Tszyu did not land ONE stepped into right hand on Hatton's chin the whole night...
The best he landed were some flush stationary/backpeddling crosses...and those were few and far between since Ricky and Dave Parris were so busy ****in' him in the ass....
Ricky Hatton was a ****ing glorified B fighter from the land of Hope and Glory....he was nothing but your token top fighter, and he was as unprofessional as he was overrated...
End of story....DEAD.
You're delusional, not to mention very disrespectful of a former lineal champ.
I've seen Hatton get sparked flat out twice and Prov was barely wobbled ever by Bradley or Alvarado...so how could you give Hatton the better chin? Also Prov was keeping up with Bradley in exchanges...so I don't really see a speed edge for Hatton either. Power is no question, Prov has a huge edge there.
First off, Hatton wasn't out against Mayweather, he basically wasn't allowed to stand back up after the 2nd KD. He was clearly hurt but coherent.
Secondly, it's clear you're a hater considering Bradley and Alvarado are not really big punchers. Both managed to get Prov's attention a few times.
That said, I like Prov and think he's an awesome fighter to watch but let's not go jumping the gun yet. Hatton dominated a very similar fighter named Juan Urango during his lineal title reign.
