There is no doubt Prscott can bang. It's the likes of Michael Gomez flooring him late on in his career that showed Khans lack of chin to me.

Back to the point...Hatton is in serious danger of damaging his legacy. JMM is the wrong type of fighter for Hatton.
1) Hatton is mentally shot and lacks confidence, whereas JMM has shown time and time again that when he loses, he just comes back fighting physically and mentally.
2) Hatton cannot keep fluctuating in weight. look at him now...he's HUGE!
3) He needs a tune up fight like Lazcano. Get his confidence back a bit.
Yea Rickys defence wasnt the best that night ;D may have had something to do with Floyd snr not training Ricky on the pads for a southpaw as Floyd snr doest believe in that sort of thing ! Not once did Floyd snr offer pad work and show how to counter the southpaw, and this guy was reputed as the best trainor on the planet ! He's a bloody Joke !
marquez struggled to adapt his style to that of indonesian regulations when he fought chris john hence the reason he lost
Hatton will swarm on marquez all night and his superior body punching will slowly but surely wear down the mexican. The fight will go 12rounds and rickys superior work on the front foot will be enough to earn him a unanimous decision
Just hope that isnt que for ricky to go challenging the big boys again:mad:
The rumour is now up on Fightnews. I don't know what to think. :-\
I initially thought it is was an interesting proposal, but Hatton has ballooned up like an elephant. Marquez might be older and more shop worn, but you know for a fact he is in relatively decent shape right now. Hatton might well have gone all Vargas on us.
If the fight is to happen I am supporting Hatton, but I guess it is a case of lets wait and see. Hatton needs to face reality a bit if he is to continue or else he will get flattened like a steam roller over the face. Watch the Pac fight yer cretin!
technically JMM is a class above and if this fight were in america id pick marquez every day of the week.
But the crowd will be rapturous, the ring will be small and the ref will have no option other than to allow the contest to turn into an out an out fight.
Key factor will be whether ricky has it in him to produce a Tszyu like performance 4-5years on or is he wasted goods??
you mean to the 2 very fighters that are about to fight for the right to potentially call themselves the greatest of all time?? yeah real embarrasing
Marquez is the most tszyu-esque opponent out there. He leads in, throws punches in flurrys, looks to dominate on the front foot.
If he can beat tszyu he can more than handle marquez
:lol:
This guy is great.
I can see another Hatton highlight reel KO coming on.
JMM is not a front foot fighter. He's a versatile guy that can take little steps back and counter, he can come forward but its not his preference. I swear HattonTheHammer's just fucking with us sometimes ;D I refuse to accept any other explanation.
And JMM>Tsyzu
And Amir is not a big puncher. He doesn't sit down on his punches. Arm punches mostly.
