DLH Vs. Hatton (and no i don't mean it's happening)

[ElTerribleMorales]

Who would win between Oscar De La Hoya when he beat up Chavez at 140 and Ricky Hatton when he beat Tszyu?

IMO Hatton is a poor man's Chavez, and all though he wasn't at his best anymore, he still had a world title, so I'd pick DLH by 9th round TKO

Doesn't it ever get boring? The only loss which you could even possibly attribute to pressure would be his first to Mosley, who was a hell of a lot better than Hatton ever was. Aside from this, De La Hoya did very well against pressure fighters who came forward, not to mention the size and power advantage he would've had over little Ricky. It's truly shameless the way you ride the guys nuts, Oscar would have smashed him up BADLY at 140, it's practically a mismatch.

While ODLH was getting his ass handed to him against every single half decent opponent ricky was beating the likes of tszyu/castillo etc

You are such a clown. DLH has fought so many more quality fighters than Hatton it isn't even worth comparing, he only lost to guys who would have almost certainly KO'ed Hatton. The fact that you can only point to an old Tszyu and Castillo in contrast pretty much says everything... I suppose they were on par with Hopkins at 160, Trinidad at WW, Prime Mosley, Quartey, Whittaker, etc? Ricky wouldn't have had any problem beating those guys either right?

fought - yes, im not even debating that
beaten - not a single person that can match kostya tszyu and jose luis castillo

Remembering ricky just didnt beat those 2 he TKO`d the pair of them and sent both into retirement

The day i see someone who isnt a p4p great own hatton like ODLH has been so many times i`ll take this question seriously, until then

get the hell out of here........

Other than whittaker not a single name on there to disprove my original statement and any single SANE fan of this sport knows that a prime whittaker would batter ODLH and Hatton on his day

chavez, camacho, vargas, mayorga, quartey - can you seriously give me an argument for one of them at the time ODLH fought them remember beating a prime hatton...i could really do with a laugh (any of the others and im seriously backing out of this thread as your clearly not all the ticket)

[mattboxingfan]

I love both guys so ill keep this short, ODLH got was finished by a body shot against B-HOP....Hatton is the best body puncher in the world.

[Master]

People are getting their knickers in a twist and comparing their careers. A 23 year old green Oscar v a 27 year old peak Hatton would mean that Ricky wins. Simple as.

[Pugilistic]

De La Hoya by KO.

[Galaxy]

Is there even a need for a poll? DLH even on his worst day!!!

[TitoFan]

Neither is among the list of my favorite fighters (understatement), but I'd have to pick DLH over Hatton, hands down. No way Hatton is close to being in DLH's league (I can't believe I said that).

[CFH]

I really can't see any way Ricky Hatton beats De La Hoya.

[ElTerribleMorales]

especially at that stage, when Oscar was more of a mover, meaning he was always on the front of his toes and used that excellent sharp jab, IMO he'd just cut Hatton up with the jab and overwhelm him with flurries
