it's at boxingscene. i think hatton has better chances at 147

If that's the case then Marquez should not fight him, I don't want to see more of this catch weight nonsense. If he's going to be a WW then he should stay there and beat some proper WW's.

I think Marquez will win regardless. Hatton doesn't have anywhere near the blistering speed that Mayweather has; that was the main problem for JMM in their fight. He took most of what Floyd threw without too many problems (other than the one knockdown). On the other hand, Hatton was hurt, knocked down and knocked out by Mayweather...

[DatsiK]

Well, it was timing more than speed which allowed Floyd to keep on catching Hatton as he came in. I don't know if JMM has the timing anymore.. but it's a good fight nonetheless, but I wouldn't take it if I was JMM, especially not at welterweight.. junior welterweight maybe.

Exactly.

I think if Hatton were to win this it would be as much an acheivment for his boxing as beating Tszyu, Marquez has shown he can take what the best in the world has to offer and Hatton will take more punches than Mayweather.

To be honest I see hatton getting stopped again but if he wins that would be very good for him.

He hasnt fought in a long time and didnt do many rounds in his last fight, he needs to get back with Graham, shiit or bust

Graham had him giving Mayweather more trouble than anyone else has up until he got sparked

I'd be surprised if he did fight again at 147 as i dont think hes anywhere near as effective as he is at 140. Having said that, hes got some junk to lose but he should go the whole way down to 140 if hes fighting again IMO

I wouldnt be surprissed if Hatton stopped Marquez in 4 but the longer it goes the advantage leans towards Marquez imo.

Marquez is too small for Hatton. I agree on the early stoppage. It might be a bit like Castillo. Everyone is saying that he can't stop him and then he does. Of course, he is shot after that. Marquez, I mean.

Marquez is too fast for Hatton in my opinion. Ricky has disappointed his followers (not to mention himself) in his big fights. No reason here to believe he could rise up and beat a fighter like Marquez.

What sort of statement is that ? Get a grip.

His fans, or followers as you so inaptly put it, take great pride in the fact Ricky actually reached that level. To be able to follow a true British home-grown fighter to the dizzy heights of head-lining in Las Vegas is something a true fan can never be disappointed about. We can only thank the fat little fucker for giving us the amazing opportunity. Also, to lose to the two best fighters of the modern era is unfortunate, but certainly not disappointing. Hatton was hardly the favourite in either fight. His fans give him props for taking these fights, putting his unbeaten record on the line, and testing himself against the best his era had to offer. He fell short, but he gave it his all, as fans you simply cannot ask for more than that.

I also dont think Rick or his fans will have felt too disappointed with the result in his "Big Fight" with the legendary Mr Tszyu.

And rise up and beat a fighter like Marquez ? Are you kidding me ? Which version of Marquez do you think he would be up against ?

Kostya was the pinnacle for Ricky as we know. I think he got handled well considering who he fought to get KT and KT fans interested (who Kostya listened too and liked to please). When Ricky re fought Phillips for Tszyu (who wouldnt) then followed his footsteps onto Oktte Urkal another real tough boy, you could see they were paying their dues and their aim.I think they did great getting where they did the way they did.

You really think he can relearn at this stage to not to be a fighter first and to out box Marquez?

Even a declining Marquez will outbox him Im sure of it. Its a hell of a big call for a come back fight.
