Is it safe to say Rick Hatton is OVERRATED!

[GreatestIam]

Talking about a Mayweather Hatton fight and saying Mayweather would school hatton is wrong. He would prolly win right now against an inexperienced 147er, but it would be a damn good and a damn close fight.

Man thats it right there people are saying 147 like its a damn new sport or some **** the guy has been a PRO BOXER for HOW LONG? **** how long his been at 147 **** peepz have went from 147 to 160 and looked fabolous! and your telling me oh becuz he went up in weight he looks bad, **** that if you lose weight OKAY, but going up in weight, TONEY< RJJ, and a grip of other have risen up in wieght and looked great what makes this guy any different, except he looked ****in horrible!

Saying that Hatton MIGHT be able to beat Gatti, Hatton would destroy Gatti, the only Reason Gatti would win would be because of his extreme heart and will. hatton would beat Gatti quicker and prettier then floyd did it, but Gatti is well past his prime now.

I dont doubt HATTON can beat GATTi but i wont write GATTI off becuz he was destroyed by THE BEST! HATTON has not shown me anything to say he would just destroy GATTI as PBF did! Watch the PBF fight again and see what i mean! haha no way would he out do PBF or ODLH for that matter hahaha! oh ya GATTI will beat BLAD

WHo said anything about him beating Castillo or Corrales, killing Gatti (ill give him Gatti MAYBE) or anhilating Cotto not with the performance he put up against Collazo, and 50/50 against PBF dude get the **** outta here.

You probably need to step up out of here. You really have no place in a serious boxing forum posting garbage like this. Corrales has been permanently damaged by Castillo, and would be absolutely trashed by Hatton. Corrales is a bean-pole at 135. Hatton just beat a much bigger man in Collazo, who is a southpaw with respectable skill. If you have any confidence in Diego beating Hatton after what happened to Diego in his last fight, no one should listen to your betting advice.

Furthermore, you are using triangle theory, which has no place in boxing. Hatton struggling against Collazo does not mean he will struggle with Gatti. You need to have your head checked. Styles make fights, period. Hatton beating a fresh, in-his-prime Collazo by a close margin does not in any way fortel Hatton losing to an old, sluggish, and oh-so-hittable Thunder Gatti.

That sentence is what people keep forgetting when having these discussions...

Hatton ****ed himself by actually gaining weight for this fight, he should have came in as he always does IMO and he would have retained the sharpness and the handspeed that wasn't there. But most of it IMO was that he was fighting a fairly slick southpaw, and he apparently has hell with southpaws lol
I don't think this means that he'll struggle with landing shots on every 147 lb. fighter he faces, but there are much harder punchers than Collazo in the division, he can't afford to get hit so cleanly against someone like Mayweather or Gatti. Personally, I'd like to see him fight Cotto or Gatti next.
I think the Gatti fight would be a great fight and be a tossup.
If he fights Cotto I see him being too much for Cotto but still an exciting fight. Or maybe Mitchell, that would be IMO a high risk fight that would truly be a test seeing as how he hates southpaws lol

This is getting out of hand. HATTON WON THE FIGHT!!! Get over it. It wasnt impressive, and he should rematch him.

[Derranged]

Ricky got controlled and BEAT. Look at his face and it was done by a guy not known for KO power. Styles makes fight is the best description.

I only agree with the bold part. Ricky won. But that style made him look bad.

[aljon]

Ahh all dis hating on Hatton...He won the fight

Yes it wasnt convincing but fighters have lost and are still being rated more highly than Hatton.

Should i give you a tape of Mayweather Castillo 1....Now thats a blueprint on how to beat mayweather...

Thank You. I agree with you 100%, Hatton didn't even lose and he's being contradicted by a lot of haters, what do people expect from him?

[glenspen]

if Hatton defeats anyone of skill CONVINCINGLY ill leave this site forever!

Lets hope he gets A good fight soon then...Do you consider Corrales/Castillo/Gatti/Cotto skilled???

After he beats one of them I'll bump this thread. I hope you keep your promise.
