who else thinks gatti would kayo hatton after seeing collazo fight?

it would seemingly e an easy fight for arturo (even easier than baldomir) ----its a fight where gatti has the much better boxing skills and can use his jab, right hnad over the top and then crack the left hand to the body......under mcgirt gatti has been committed to the jab and good strong body work--it should be enough to slow ricky down and finish him in the middle of the fight..

any thoughts?

I think Hatton would pummel Gatti's body and stop him mid-late.

errr no. anyone who had seen the hatton collazo fight and no other hatton fights may think so. but anyone who knows anything about gatti and hatton should dissagree. and the better boxing skill statement is bollocks aswell. i see hatton stoping gatti in the late rounds after wearing him down with too much pressure.

no way gatti would beat hatton at this stage in the game....

have you ever watched Hatton before that fight?

There is no doubt that Gatti is entertaining and a fan favourite but he simply has no defence. He stops punches with his face.
hatton is undefeated for a reason and he wouldnt lose Micky Ward or get exposed so easily against PBF.
He would suit Hatton down to the ground, a come forward brawler

Your obviously a hatton hater comign out with a statment like that. Anyone who followed both careers would know Hatton would win easily.

easy with the hatton hater damnz
what a load of crap
is that the only thing people can say these days
hatton hater hatton hater give me a break people

In Lawhoops case - he is without doubt a Hatton hater - and needs to find a new topic to bore us with !!!

...the collazo fight was just one fight out of many for Hatton. Whatever his reasons wer for not fulfilling his potential are his problem. based on all the evidence before this fight, Hatton would have a brilliant chance against Gatti, n judging by the hammering Gatti received from Mayweather, i think u shud be questionin how he would fare against Hatton tbh. Hatton and Gatti alike haven't had the best of things lately, besides Gatti fights completely different to Collazo.

Gatti used to fight at 130 and 135 didn't he? I think as far as P4P goes Hatton would rough Gatti up, and the fact he hasn't been at welterweight his whole life means he won't be so big that his body punches are ineffective like they were against Collazo.

Look Hatton is WIDE open. A fight with Hatton v Gatti/Mayorga would be very entertaining.

I really cannot follow your logic in Collazo------>Gatti, but Gatti struggled against Thomas Damgaard (the garden gnome) and I would think that Hatton would stop Gatti mid rounds.

I would have to disagree with you on the defense statement Ricky Hatton is a very awkward off balance fighter sure he brings the pressure this fight will be a war NO DOUBT!!!!!Since Buddy has been training Arturo he has really revamped his career he has showed alot of improvement he good boxing skills that are often overlooked by his ability to brawl..Its not fair to compare the old Gatti to thecurrent one....PBF gave him a royal beatdown no doubt it wuz a bad matchup for Gatti...Floyd is the best and outclasses and punishes most

Hatton relies on his ability to punch and then get in the opponents chest right afterward to take away his opponents chance to counter punch. The problem is that Gatti does have good power at 147, Hatton's style is going to get him caught sooner or later right on the chin. But while I think Hatton is a little over his head at 147, I think that his body work will wear down Gatti towards the end. Gatti isn't the best conditioner boxer, so Hatton will wear him down and maybe score a body shot KO in the 11th.

i actually think it would be a tough fight for either fighter, and either one could win, Hatton would have the edge at 140, while Gatti would be able to move Hatton around at 147, Gatti has IMO better speed, power, and skill, but Hatton's defence, chin, and stamina is better, well defence at 140 anyway it sucked against Collazo, the Damgaard fight, apparently you all forgot Gatti was fight primarily with one hand, and with only one hand he was still able basically to shut him out and KO him with only that one hand, both swell and cut up pretty easy so the guess on who would get the TKO is just a toss up, Hatton can and will be outboxed in the future, and it most likely will be as bad and devastating as Gatti/Mayweather was, or if you want it to be more styilistic, it's gonna look a lot like Calzaghe/Lacy. Hatton is good, but the Collazo fight was no fluke, it showed that he can be out worked and outboxed, although i felt that cause of the knockdown Ricky pulled out the win, but just barely

No way!!! Hatton will stop Gatti late on and it could be a mini war, but Gatti doesn't have the tools. There is no way that Hatton will look as good as PBF, but thats just down to different fighters different styles.

CC, agreed. But remember that the hand thing with Gatti is not just an explanation/excuse for him getting in some trouble in the Damgaard fight; it's also a liability going forward. If he fought Hatton and broke his hand early on, I am sure that Hatton--with all his pressure--would make Gatti pay far more than Damgaard did. I think that hand is potentially a MAJOR problem in EVERY fight for Gatti going forward.

I think McGirt knows how to beat a style like Hattons.

Collazo deserves a shot at the winner of Gatti/Baldomir and in y opinion will beat either one then he will get clobbard by Clotey or Margarito.

I would love to see, Hatton - Gatti. I think if they are both on their best nights it would be a great fight.
I'd have to give Hatton the edge based on one factor HEAD MOVEMENT.

I don't know that it will happen, I just think it would be a great fight, I think Hatton should fight the winner of Gatti /Baldomir regardless of who it is

yes he should fight the winner and then mayweather-margarito should happen and the winner of that should fight the winner of gatti/baldomir/hatton and have the unification fight of the welter divison.Then we will see is p4p champ

maybe its just me but i like gattis chances against floyd at 147.....gatti is much better conditioned for 147 as he doesnt have to drain and melt himself down as much to make it and floyd is more hittable at 147 and not as slick-------i know the first fight was a washout but i think it was an an anomaly...

as far as baldomir he has no shot to beat gatti in a million years......judah was just being judah and he paid for it again...just like almost did against chop chop and rafael pineda

I will personally give you 20-1 odds on up to $1000 on that one. Gatti is not a world-class fighter, period. He's great to watch, and he's better than average, but he will get KTFO every single time he steps in the ring with PBF--not that he's eager to ever go there again.

:oooh:

I can't speak for everybody but I would assume that it is just you

Gatti did bad against Pbf because his corners strategy sucked. He had a poor strategy. How many times do you see Gatti throw so few punches. I don't car if pbf is a great counter puncher. You ain't going to win the fight without throwing a lot of punches. Now am i going to be accused of hating Gatti because he sucked so badly, offensively, against pbf? His defence was good but he didn't throw enough punches to slow pbf down.

You have just confirmed you are insane..
It was embarassing to watch the first fight and no hope in hell it will happen again.

hey Jtrock, hows it going.
wasnt buddy mcgirt on board with gatti when he fought PBF.
Listen im a gatti fan like most people but he honestly wouldnt cope with Hatton at 140. Id bet m house on it.
Gatti is up there with the best toe to toe brawlers in history but any fighters who bring skill to the game can punish him bad.
Ricky has 41 fights and unbeaten, callazo is a very underated tricky southpaw who hatton beat in his over seas debut in a weight division he never fought before

Keep his ass in 147.

Larry I think what most people are seeing is that Hatton is there to be hit and that's why the fight with a puncher like Gatti is so intriguing. Gatti should stay clear of slick boxers like Floyd but Hatton is no Floyd.

Missy Im not going on about it
I hope Hatton gets it on with PBF or another american title holder.
I find it funny that its all americans putting Hatton down
Im not brittish but i know PBF wouldnt whoop Hattons ass, it would be close but no ass whooping

yeah most people are taking into consideration that hatton is capable of way more than what he showed in the collazo fight. but lets not judge gatti on the mayweather fight alone, cos i don't know what he was thinking on that night ut he can do a lot better aswell. the gatti who thrashed jesse james leija would be a handfull. but i still think the hatton that beat collazo would still win. and that wasnt really hatton.

Gatti aginst Collazo would settle this

No Hatton v Gatti would 8)

well of course but baldomir will probably beat gatti

gatti would knock collazo TFO inside 5 rds

We say this time and time again,BOXING IS ALL ABOUT MATCHUPS!!!! Gatti vs Hatton bad matchup for Ricky's style..Arturo is a skilled boxer and a HELACIOUS BRAWLER as well.. I say this all the time "The DEVIL is scared of Arturo Gatti" Arturo has a concrete chin a superhuman heart....He is a freak of nature point blank!!!! Hatton is not a better boxer than Gatti and he is not a better Brawler than Gatti and does not have the same power as Gatti...I dont see a blow out but I see Hatton punished and in for a long nite.... Gatti gets the nod

The way i see it Jtrock is that your supporting your man Gatti.
Hatton is undefeated
Calloazo and Kosta are better than gatti and htton beat them
The only fighter who could beat Hatton is PBF and I still see it as a tight match up

no way collazo is better than gatti and the tzyzu that showed up to fight ricky last june would have been flattened by gatti

a focused fresher zoo punishes hatton
