Did Hatton beat anybody better than Lamont Peterson?

[p4pking]

Yea I'm not certain on this either, good question. I'd say Collazo was at least on par with Peterson at the time Hatton fought him... I will also say though, I think Hatton would have beaten Lamont Peterson quite handily on a good night for him. Feel Khan vs Hatton couldve gone either way, I'm more comfortable picking Hatton after the weekend though. Khan really needs to develop some kind of inside game.

Peterson fought the fight of his life against Khan, but Jesus Christ people...

He was dominated by Victor Ortiz and given a very corrupt gift draw which I thought was an outrage at the time.

He was soundly defeated by Tim Bradley.

Hatton STOPPED Kostya Tzyu, Castillo, Carlos Maussa (who one on one I think could beat Peterson), Paulie Malinaggi, and decisioned Juan Urango and got a very close controversial win over Lou Collazo. I thought he lost that one.

Khan overlooked Peterson, and fought stupid, but yes Hatton beat a fair share better men that Peterson.

lol Are you really gonna use a washed up Castillo as reference?? c'mon Hulk.. Carlos Maussa is a vacuum seller and beating him isn't something to brag about.. Same goes for Urango..
And besides, many people felt Collazo beat him...

Best thing he ever did was beating an over the hill KOstya Tszyu with the help of a corrupt referee..
If you remember, the referee let Hatton do whatever he wanted and it was a dirty ass fight... Hatton wrestled and rabbit punched his way to a disgraceful victory...

Khan > Hatton

I thought the Victor Ortiz fight could of gone either way, outside of the 2 knockdowns and maybe a few of the early rounds. I think Lamont Peterson won most of the rounds after the 2 knockdowns.

To be honest i did refresh my memory on Lamont Peterson before the Amir Khan fight, and didn't think he was overly special. He seemed like decent boxer with good technical skills, but very mediocre in alot of area's.

But maybe what i underestimated was his heart and will, he showed that in coming back vs Victor Ortiz. And he showed that in his actual life aswell living on the streets as a kid, i was very shocked the way he performed. Never thought he had that kind of aggressive fighting in him, he fought like Antonio Margarito who would of ever of thought that ?

Yeah, that's a bit of hyperbole isn't it?

Ortiz probably should have dominated Peterson. He had all the physical advantages and badly hurt him a number of times. But Peterson just outwilled him, and because of that he got won rounds and got back into the fight.

[Mattyhitman]

The fight showed comparisons to Hatton v KT. The hometown fighter raising his performance by that additional 10-20% than what he's showed in his career to date.

Wheather Peterson can replicate that performance again is to be seen.

My bet is that if this fight was re-matched in Vegas then Khan would win a UD by a few rounds.

In answer to the original question, then yea Hatton beat many better than Peterson. Urango, Castillo, Paulie i reckon beats Peterson, prime Tackie even, Collazo etc.

Time will tell, but if the rematch gets made, which would make sense for Peterson, get it in Vegas at the MGM grand, big payday for him, probably a bigger payday than any other fighter out there in the division, but ultimately loses the belts.

I think you're under-estimating Peterson a fair bit.

Jesus wept.

Even the Castillo who Hatton beat looked incredibly shop-worn, as his performances directly before and immediately after the Hatton fight show.

It's all about opinions, to be honest I would give the MaGee and Phillips that fought Hatton a chance against him, anywho you mentioned Urango in your war and peace post

Tszyu was better even at that stage, probably no one else at that weight but Collazo would have been better than Peterson at welterweight.

Oumafan ! Its good to see you again, even if its only to contradict me

I only had Peterson winning 3 rounds in that fight, so Ortiz was pretty dominant I felt.
