Even though I'm no fan of Ricky Hatton I will say this, and this is not just about him, but all current fighters and particularly about all hypothetical matchups between all time greats and current fighters. I think many fans, especially ones on this board, are misguided in thinking that an all time great fighter will simply steamroll fighters of today. It's not the case. Duran is no doubt better than Hatton, and would certainly win because he was better in all phases, but he was not light years better in all phases. He is light years ahead in terms of greatness, and I think people on this board let that incorrectly influence how they see a fight like this playing out. Duran's resume has nothing to do with him actually getting in the ring and fighting. Each fighter can simply take one fight at a time, and it only matters what happens on that given night. I think people also need to realize that if magically 20 of these hypothetical fights between all time hall of famers and current top p4p fighters took place, I'm willing to bet that many on this board feel as if the all time greats would win all 20, but in reality it would probably split somewhere near 10-10. Just as people always defend all time greats as saying they trained the same way as current fighters so science and nutrition of today would not help today's fighters, you need to realize the same is true for the opposite. Fighters of today train just as fighters of yesterday, and all time greats hold no advantage either. They simply hold the illusion over some fans that they're for some reason untouchable by today's fighters, and it's ridiculous.
