Prime hatton vs Pacqiou at 140

[Snakey]

The Ricky Hatton who showed up at the Tszyu fight would have given any 140 fighter a hard nights work. The MEN was an electric atomospehere that night and if you had put Hatton in the ring with any fighter that night he would have won. A truely special night in British boxing history IMO, even a 140 version of Manny Pacquio would have been tested that night. Would Manny have beaten Hatton that night? I don't know...but that was Hattons Prime in a nutshell, it was a truly memorable night for any boxing fan.

He sure would. That Hatton had Dave Paris with him.

Hatton had Tszyu number that night, don't even try and deny him that.

Yeah he had his number coz Tszyu gave him his number after the fight, but Ricky definitely had Dave Parris's number before the fight

ooooffff bitter

Referee or no referee in the ring, there's only so much an outside influence can do and even if he was in Hattons favor it doesn't matter because Hatton put on his career best performance and nobody can take that away from. If Tszyu was as good as everybody said ( I know prime Tszyu would have beaten that Hatton on that night) prior to the fight then he should have handled Hatton pretty easily. However Hatton was highly motivated and looked unstoppable and it was enough to make a legend quit, the referee didn't stop it, Tszyu wanted no more and that speaks wonders for Hatton that night. So don't BS me about the ref, because that wasn't a factor in the stoppage. Hatton was a bull that night!

Tam, I wouldnt let them two wind ya up, they are primed and love it, especially VD, he loves Ricky secrectly

Ive been use to it for years, if he's a British fighter VD will do anything to have a pop at him.

Pfft First fight ricky wasnt allowed to hold in - Floyd Mayweather and look how many times he landed on ricky at a distance...you dont think Tszyu would of timed Hatton more often if he had more space? Your being naive, Hattons wrestling helped him big time in the tszyu fight.

Its funny how every is like hatton went down hill after the mayweather fight...no he went down hill when he wasnt allowed to wrestle. The end.

Also I noticed in the PAC fight how tentative Hatton was on trying to close the distance. Ricky wasn't aggressive in his pursuit of PAC like we seen in other fights.

PAC is real quick with nice footwork and in an exchange on the ropes where Ricky could maul he let PAC slip out the back door without much effort...

hang on tho one min

are you saying cortez's reffing was good in the hatton mayweather fight?

[ono]

This fight has already happened.

[roberto duran legend]

Have many great memories watching Hatton on the rise and when he was champion , lovely lovely guy and a very good fighter , but Pac man is on a different level , would be same result , a very bad KO win for Pac Man early.

[Master]

If hatton could take the right hands flush from Tszyu then he could take the power punches of Pac Man too.

[Andre]

I agree with that if it was a war he would win on the night.

I also agree with he had Tszus number that night.

But i got a theory and Im sticking to it. Kostya was feeling great and he was talking up this fight saying he'd fight the fight Hatton wanted and test him out etc. We all saw a war style fight that night.
I recon when its a real war, you see shots coming even though you get caught with them but your not fukkin movin cause you both know its a war and a test of heart of determination.
Tszyu was made for Hatton by Tszyus own mindset months before the fight and the timing was perfect, he would have eventually won that kind of stalk and shoot fight against another doing the same that night even if Gus Mecurrio was reffing the fight in Melbourne.

Then theres all the mixes of other skills in fights in between pure boxing unorthodox moves to all out warfare, but when a fighter is thinking 'war I'll take it to this bastard" and a great boxer is skilled and cool enough to be more evasive then catches him blindsided as he is throwing it has a different effect on the brain.

Cause Manny slips out on more angles and runs around in a manic style he is hard to pin down by a stalker who likes hitting whats right in front of him.

I think Kostya fought the wrong fight but fought a very brave one and his ego got in the way of what he could of done instead and he was out gunned, I know he had better pure boxing skills in his earlier years, but maybe his legs were more suited to it back then .
Anyway he got beat at his own game and like he says, no excuses.

I honestly don't remember him taking many (if any) flush rights hands from Tszyu. Pacquiao's power punches were different because he walked on to so many of them.

Not bitter, facing the facts. Even americans think Dave Parris was rooting ricky hatton. And yes I do think Cortez reffed the Mayweather fight well. He stopped Ricky from holding, you wanna hold and wrestle fuck off to the ufc.

Facts don't lie. From the start was Hatton holding and hitting and getting away with it. But despite that it was a close fight. Everything changed in the 7th round I believe it was when Hatton hit Tszyu with one of the most dirtiest, intensional low blows ever. It made Golota cum in his pants when he saw it. And Paris did nothing. Tszyu was pretty much done after that

29 Yr. old Pacquiao kayoes 29 Yr.old Hatton in 2 .


Hatton (Tsyu version ) would most likely last longer maybe up to 8 rounds.


Hatton was seeing stars before he can even try to hug againts Pac because of Pac's quick Feet and combos. Againts Tsyu he was a lil successful because he's within reach for holding.


-Same move every time

LOL Ricky Hatton (Kostya Tszyu Version) - Comes with amazing wrestling strength, Dave Parris and the super low blow.

The above Ricky Hatton knocks Pacs balls into the second row and riot ensues due to Pac nut huggers trying to literally hug his nuts

I was incredibly surprised seeing Tsyu unable to continue. All i remember about the fight is how loud the Hatton fans are .

I had Tsyu winning comfortably before the fight

[Dia bando]

Ricky 2 point's ? SOUTHPAW'S Magee and Collaz and Pac as a amature, i think he was KO by a southpaw I dont think he could deal with southpaw's.? Also he did fight with his face he took a lot of, stick yes good to watch,got hit too much I do like Ricky.
