Great Technical Boxers Limited by Mentality

[ICB]

Ricky Hatton is not a great technical boxer. He's a guy with above average speed, but not a ton of skill, who made the most with what he had. If Ricky Hatton had been born in say... Ghana, and didn't have the big marketable fanbase that he got in the UK, he never would have been considered an elite fighter at any point in his career.

(On this board, I'm sure this post is going to go over about as well as a fart at church).

Ricky is a complete natural...
Given the correct guidance and had he applied his own mind to the technical aspects of the game he could have been gifted.

Thwe man was a special athlete, but he was limited by his mentality which drove him to burrow forward with little in mind.
Is this not a fighter limited by mindset?

Don't really get what your saying here, i've seen plenty of Ricky Hatton fights and he has never been a technical fighter. And your comments seem to be assumptions IMO.

He's a good athlete with good speed, but how does that equal him being a technical boxer ? and even if you do consider him to be somewhat of a technical boxer. Was he a great technical boxer really ?

Technical boxers IMO are guys like James Toney, Mike McCallum, Marlon Starling, Winky Wright, ETC.

Ricky Hatton may of not had the best mentality, but he certainly was never a technical boxer and he never could be.

Ricky Hatton in his prime could be a boxer/puncher, and he could do it very well, but again he was never a technical boxer. And in his later career he certainly wasn't either. Just mostly coming forward and swarming.
