Is Ricky's power underrated?
A lot of people say that Hatton is a decent puncher but not a big puncher.i tend to disagree
He stopped Kostya Tsyzu who had only ever been stopped once,i kno he quit but the power of hatton's punches made him quit,as well as the volume......
Ricky knocked out Carlos Maussa who had a granite chin,big punchers like Vivian Harris and Cotto couldnt do that,although cotto did stop him on cuts...
Castillo was knocked out wit a Body punch,i know chico stopped him but that was on his feet......
Destroyed Ray Oliviera who had never been stopped....
Also look at wins over Mike Stewart,Justin rowsell,these were tough guys getting bombed out,most of the guys who went the decent wit ricky...Eamon Magee,Vince Philips,Juan Urango,Ben Tackie were some of the toughest guys in boxing wit granite chins..
So for me Ricky is a big Puncher,im not saying he's a Julian Jackson,Nigel Benn type but he is a big puncher...

Was meant to say guy's who went the distance.......
Re: Is Ricky's power underrated?
He's a solid puncher - not really the one punch KO danger guy, but he can hurt you. That shot to Castillo was beautiful, though. I know I winced more than once rewatching it...

Hattton punches hard. He isnt a knock out artist though.
Its the accumulation in general that gets to the other guy.

When his stamina suffers. So does his KO % ;)
