Thread: HATTON, King of the 140 pounders.

I was just wondering if you think Hatton could go on and become the best ever 140 pounder.

A fight against Witter who is in the pound for pound top 25. Giving him a WBC.

I don't see why Hatton couldn't unify the division.

Cue ICB with Aaron Pryor rave.

I think he can become one the greatest Jr Welterweight's for certain but not higher than Julio Cesar Chavez.

Well I don't think JCC was at his best at Light Welter but he's still a little above Hatton.
Should Rick beat Witter, Malignaggi, Torres/Hopkins, Juan Diaz and an up and comer like Peterson then he will be in strong contention. But thats a huge ask.

I know Chavas is a great boxer. But he was more of a multiple weight champion.

He never unified the division. Same goes for Aaron Pryor.

Do you think Hatton could unify the division? Or do you even think he will try?

I just don't know if i'm biased i haven't seen all the LWW title holders fight so don't really know.

Witter isn't in the top 25 p4p there are dozens of excellent fighters out there who would rate higher than Junior Witter, just off the top of my head.

1. Mayweather
2. Pacquaio
3. Calzaghe
4. JM Marquez
5. Cotto
6. Hopkins
7. Vazquez
8. R Marquez
9. Wright
10.Juan Diaz
11.Calderon
12.Pavlik
13.Hatton
13.Mosely
14.Guzman
15.Kessler
16. De La Hoya
17.Taylor
18.Haye
19.Spinks
20.Forrest
21.Williams
22.Klitschko
23.Chris John
24.Donaire
25.Ponce De Leon
26.Solis
27.Abraham
28.Margarito
29.Woods
30.Mundine

That's 30 who in my mind definitely all rank above him. He's in the next 30 probably near the top of the list of fighters such as Molitor, Bute, Mormeck, Bell, Mijares, Darchinyan, Sturm, Lacy, Karmazin, Casamayor, D Diaz, Dawson, Cintron etc.

I'd put him at around 35ish. Basically the best you can say about him is he has a belt.

A good list Bilbo, but I don't understand how Kessler is higher than Hatton.

Sorry.

I thought I put Hatton higher than Kessler?

Anyway my list isn't set in stone, I just did it off the top of my head. If I sat down and thought about it I'd probably change it around a bit.

I think Hatton stay's at 147 and takes the big money fights, ODH, Williams, Cintron, Margarito, etc

Well this is my list.

You don't see to understand that Junior Witter has only lost 1 fight.

1 Floyd Mayweather Jr welterweight
2 Bernard Hopkins light heavyweight
3 Israel Vazquez super bantamweight
4 Kelly Pavlik middleweight
5 Joe Calzaghe super middleweight
6 Manny Pacquiao super featherweight
7 Cristian Mijares super flyweight
8 Juan Manuel Marquez super featherweight
9 Ronald Wright middleweight
10 Juan Diaz lightweight
11 Ricky Hatton light welterweight
12 Rafael Marquez super bantamweight
13 Miguel Angel Cotto welterweight
14 Alexander Munoz super flyweight
15 Celestino Caballero super bantamweight
16 Chris John featherweight
17 Arthur Abraham middleweight
18 Wladimir Klitschko heavyweight
19 Jermain Taylor middleweight
20 Cory Spinks light middleweight
21 David Haye cruiserweight
22 Junior Witter light welterweight
23 Nonito Donaire flyweight
24 Daniel Ponce de Leon super bantamweight
25 Clinton Woods light heavyweight

hattin da best currently at 140 but if floyd were to go back, it be lil floyd

I doubt it Floyd hasn't actually beaten anyone of any real note at light welter weight. So he can't be.

what u talkin bout son, he beat world champion gattin and corely son.

Yes you half wit he did beat Gatti for the WBC. But only because the WBC was vacant. LMAO
