05 Ricky Hatton VS Marcos Maidana @ 140

[FinitoElDinamita]

Who would you favor in this matchup?

[p4pking]

Hatton all day, giving Maidana a punchers chance. I suspect Maidana won't fare as well in these hypothetical threads after next week Really good fighter, but not quite an elite guy imo. Hatton would've hurt him to the body repeatedly and probably stopped him.

[FinitoElDinamita]

Maidana is far from elite and it'll show this weekend when he gets put in his place like a bum.

Hatton would ruin him..

[Max Power]

Ricky Hatton UD, possible KO in later rounds.

Just an all round better boxer.

I think Morales would have schooled him too in his prime.

[Gandalf]

Hatton in his pomp was too good for Maidana IMO. He would be in like lightning, rip those body shots and out he goes again with hands up high to parry Maidana's clubbing punches. There's a chance Maidana catches him, but Hatton walked through Tszyu and a slower Maidana would be walked through too. Hatton is underrated now.

[Max Power]

I've never heard Hatton underrated, he's one of the best!

I was big fan of Kostya Tszyu and was surprised with that result.

I think the Manny KO was a show stopper though. That and the drugs lol

He's still celebrated highly in the UK I believe.

I think Hatton was better with a bit of weight on him, he did not look good when he came in too light that sunked eye and cheek look could not have done him any favours, especially in the punch resistance department.

[Beanflicker]

I'd take Hatton.

Ricky gets extremely underrated ever since the Floyd and Pacquiao losses, but he was one of the most effective pressure fighters we've seen in the last 20-30 years. I think he would get the job done vs Maidana.

[Dark Lord Al]

Maidana by early ko

[FinitoElDinamita]

Hatton in his prime was just a different breed of animal.. Maidana is not in that class..

He looked like shit against an ancient Morales and dude couldnt even beat Khan. lol

[Hulk]

What is it with all of these threads aimed at disparaging Maidana?

He's a good fighter and a puncher.

He's not a HOF or elite guy n he's almost certainly going to be beaten soundly by Floyd.

Lets enjoy Maidana for what he is n hope he somehow lands a bomb against Floyd.

He aint got a prayer against Floyd.. He can't box for shit and he's too slow..

Maidana is boring..

[Master]

Hatton stops Maidana with a brutal body shot in the 4th round as he did JLCastillio.

[THE THIRD MAN]

Fatton easily...

[FinitoElDinamita]

Its unanimous. Hatton beats maidana's ass as if he flushed down his last 8 ball.

But let me just get this straight. Some of you who picked Hatton over maidana are the same ones who said that maidana beats Margarito. Lmfao

U mean to tell me that hatton beats Maidana but the bigger, badder, and the sturdier margarito can't do the same? Gtfo seriously

I missed some of your threads, you put too many up remember quality not quantity. I agree about Margarito too.
