Thread: P4P who was better: Nasem Hamed or Ricky Hatton?

Interesting debate me thinks

Who is fatter would be a more interesting debate.

Not really

yep very interesting. Both great fighters who knocked on the door of the elite but came up short when it mattered.

I have to admit I can't decide either way

I don't think Hamed got 'found out' as badly as Hatton did. He just deidn't have the 'sack' to come back after the defeat. With a different gameplan he could potentially have beaten MAB.

I'd say Naseem edges it

Hamed much more charismatic and devistating hitter but a one trick pony really. I go Hatton. Both had short comings, just think Hatton had more depth. And he wasn't as big a floppy eared twat as Hamed

Have decided Hatton.

More guts and bottle edges it for me over Hamed's undoubted talent but lack of determination ultimately (still sad when you think about how his career ended isn't it)

but hang on - he hasn't officially retired yet

lol don't start.

I go with Hatton. Hatton's biggest win was Tszyu, does Hamed have a win as significant as that? And probably because Hatton took on these 2 generation's all time greats. Hamed didn't fight JMM, Morales, Pac who were in his weight class or within his weight class.

we all know Hatton got a gift in that Wrestle-mania took place in the UK, that's all I'm saying.

I was buying boxing mags in 90's and prince and Roy were taking turns at number one p4p whenever they would win, similar as PAC and floyd

Yeh coz losing twice to Junior I'm wank' Jones made MAB unbeatable

I always said since 1994 that if Naz ever fought MAB he would be shown up and I was right and not surprsied. BUT with the right gameplan he 'Could' have beaten MAB.

I was buying Club international Men's world and Razzle.

Hatton ofcourse. He excelled himself to the point where he get to fight the two of the world's best - Pacquiao and Mayweather.

Hamed somehow only fought the #3 p4p Barrera.
