Ricky Hatton vs Meldrick Taylor

[Taeth]

Meldrick Taylor for sure.

Taylor pushed Chavez to the brink. Is there anyone here who actually thinks Hatton is in the same league as Chavez?

Its not about being in the same league or not, but if Hatton had Chavez's chin there is very good chance he would be that good, he is a lot faster then Chavez, he cuts off the ring better, he isn't as good to the body, but he throws very accurate short punches. Whereas Hatton would smother Taylor non-stop, Chavez let Taylor stay off the ropes, and Chavez didn't get in close against Taylor like he normally liked to. You didn't see him pin Taylor to the ropes which he should have done.

Taylor would of embarrassed Hatton

I would say Taylor.


Great boxer with fast hands and feet.

At his best on the outside but coud also fight on the inside if needed.

I think he would out work Hatton and stop him late.

It isn't? Why not? Chavez is in a different league altogether from Hatton as a fighter.

but if Hatton had Chavez's chin there is very good chance he would be that good,

big IF

he cuts off the ring better

Debatable. Chavez was no slouch at cutting off the ring. Ask Edwin Rosario.

he isn't as good to the body

that's an understatement

[BIG H]

I'd say Taylor would do a similar job on Hatton as PBF did.
