Ricky Hatton shares one common opponent in boxing with the following fighters: Jermain Taylor, Bernard Hopkins, and Roy Jones Jr!
Hatton's common opponent for each of those three fighters is different, so there's a different common opponent for each one..
Who are the common opponents, man?
I dont get the question ???
You are after 3 fighters that link Hatton to Jones Hopkins and Taylor respectively.
It goes back to amateur so it really could be anyone and you could probably find other fighters with the same link.
Kostya Tszyu? Ben Tackie?
Dont be silly ;D
Im certain its amateur fights that Ricky has had against bigger opponants who have gone on to fight Jones and Hopkins in the pro's. Taylor might have fought some of the same men as an amateur.
Okay, fuckers..
Jurgen Brahmer beat Jermain Taylor at 156 in 1999, Hatton moved up from 139 to fight Brahmer at 147 in 1996 because no 139lber in the world would fight Hatton.
Bernard Hopkins beat Freddie Pendleton at 139 in the Junior's in 1981.
Roy Jones Jr beat Vince Phillips at 139 in the Knoxville Golden Gloves in 1986.
Believe it or not Brahmer was going to be one of my picks.
Honest.
Brahmer - a tall lefty beat hatton twice by KO i recall - Hatton's only genuine losses.
He lost in Cuba by a ridiculous descision - 2 out of the 3 judges had Ricky winning by a big margin, but the 3rd judge had Hatton so far behind he lost.
An enquiry was launched and before the judge was interogated...he was murdered :-\
Tony Pepp fought both Hatton and Mayweather.
Mayweather took a points win...
..Hatton stopped him half way and broke his rib!
TBA ;DQuote:
