Hatton vs Marquez

[HattonTheHammer]

Hatton has never come close to replicating the Tszyu showing, two of the worst knockouts in recent memory belong to Hatton. And you want to suggest he can roll back the clock.

you mean to the 2 very fighters that are about to fight for the right to potentially call themselves the greatest of all time?? yeah real embarrasing

Marquez is the most tszyu-esque opponent out there. He leads in, throws punches in flurrys, looks to dominate on the front foot.

If he can beat tszyu he can more than handle marquez

Unless JMM is now well past it.

JMM is a better boxer than KT ever was.

Now i know your on windup

[Fenster]

This guy is great.

[OumaFan]

JMM is not a front foot fighter. He's a versatile guy that can take little steps back and counter, he can come forward but its not his preference. I swear HattonTheHammer's just fucking with us sometimes I refuse to accept any other explanation.

And JMM>Tsyzu

And Amir is not a big puncher. He doesn't sit down on his punches. Arm punches mostly.

Either that or he's the new TM. Serious.

Ok so style wise, JMM and KT have nothing remotely in common??


riiiiiggghhhtt!!

ok, in what ways are they similar?

[Kirkland Laing]

I'm with everybody else here. JMM beats Hatton like a gong (something I'm looking forward to seeing) and HTH is an idiot. Hatton would have been better off trying to beat Diaz, he's got no chance against JMM having been badly sparked last time out then having to come down from 200 pounds yet again, without Kerry Hope to do the weight properly too. I don't think it'll go the distance.

If Hatton carnt get him out of there by the 2nd i fear Marquez will just be to sharp of a counter puncher for him and stop him around the 8th.

A prime Hatton would be to big and strong for Marquez at 140 based on the Marquez - Daiz fight imo.But at this stage Hattons punch resinstance has dropped very low and confidence has gone.

In my opinion he gets a far worse beating from Diaz. Juan doesn't have Marquez's punching power and will extend Hatton's beating by several more rounds before Ricky can't take anymore. I guarantee you Marquez was sorer than Diaz after they fought. Diaz does very well against brawlers. His two (three counting Malignaggi) losses came against slick fighters, guys who reduce an opponents capability to hit them in return. Sure, Marquez soaked up a lot of punishment first, but when he turned on Diaz didn't know what to do with himself. Ricky's style is tailor-made for someone like Juan Diaz.

You just described Marquez as a come forward flurry punching fighter - you plonker. He is an expert counter puncher, versatile enough to adapt to his situation/opponent.

Hatton is perfect for him to pick apart. On the bridle to boot.

[JonnyFolds]

I think Hatton is out of his mind thinking he can win this fight. Marquez cannot be stopped, and Hatton blocks punches with his face. Unless the judges go blind Marquez can take the fight to his playground (backing up on and off the ropes throwing flurries) and win on points. Hatton would have been an exhausted mess if he lasted those first 2 rounds against Pac. I think he looking too lean to fight. It must really feel terrible.

I have no pity for him, he's won millions of $$$ and had a great career. Now he should step aside and let other people get hit in the head and box like an amateur in pro fights, DAMNIT!

[JonnyFolds]

And...

Tszyu made a career out of one weight class more or less. So it's a little defficult to compare his with Marquez. I think that Tszyu beats him well. He had great timing and was very patient and Marquez likes to counterpunch. Tszyu would walk him down and give him nowhere to punch from.
But, I consider Marquez a better fighter in history, because his opposition level was harder.

Tszyu si nothing like Marquez, though!
Tszyu - come forward offensive minded
Marquez - side to side conterpuncher

I think they had one big thing in common.. The ability to finish a fight
