Hatton's last 3 fights

[onourway]

Pac
Then Marquez
Then Mayweather rematch

According to the man himself.

What a resume he'll have, win, lose or draw.

[Cobbler]

Can't argue with the awesomeness of that should he pull it off.

[brown bomber]

Yeah but Calzaghe beat hopkins

[TommyV]

He'd definately lose to Mayweather again. He's gonna beat Pac. JMM I'm 50/50 on.

Yep I agree there mostly. I reckon i'm 55/45 in favour of Hatton over JMM though :good

[Flea Man]

I actually think Marquez would lose badly to Hatton, and I'm a huge Marquez fan.

His power has turned right up at 135, but at 140, if he gets pressurised by Hatton like he did against Juan Diaz, he would get stopped. Hatton hits 10X harder than Juan Diaz.

If Marquez catched Hatton with one of his terrific uppercuts it could be lights out, especially if Hatton has been in a war with Pacman beforehand.

Personally, I think Pac takes the Hatton fights on cuts or TKO. I'd rather see Pac then fight Marquez a third time, but Hatton winning and fighting Marquez is just as intriguing.

As long as these boys stay away from Cotto and Mosley, which I think are stupid fights for any of them, I don't mind. I think Pac is the only one which a reasonable chance of beating Money May, but that's down to styles IMO.

His resume won't really look any better if he loses. People will say "Ricky took on the best", fair enough, but losing won't elevate his status one bit. In fact, taking into account the manner of defeat, it could really hurt it.

Yeah, never really understand those people who think that a fighter's resume gets better if he loses to elite fighters.

If I appply for a job and get laughed out of the interview, I don't include it on my CV...

And think of the number of prospects that come through boxing in a particular division, and you all see them fighting the same journeymen on the way up.

Some of these journeymen have quite a few opponents on their records who have gone on to be become world champions; the fact that they lost to these fella's doesn't make them any better though, and doesn't mean they'll be remembered any more fondly.

[cityofgod]

Goo trilogy to go out on.

I bet he's got 40m already in the bank.

[TFFP]

Why would he look great if he lost them all?

He'd look like a fighter that was just short of elite if he loses to Pac, and then somebody like Marquez. That's 3 losses against the best p4p talents, 2 of which were smaller men.

It's not a flattering achievement, but he'll have had great fights and a lot of money so from that point of view its all good.

[Fat Joe]

Yeah he's been whining about Cortez again, that's why he wants the PBF rematch.

[punchdrunkgench]

i read the interview where hatton lined out his plans finishing in a match with mayweather at wembley what surprised me was hatton said if i beat pacman, the word if hardly inspires me with confidence and alot can be read into that, hattons not looked the same since being beat by mayweather and i think all this talk is premature, i belive after losing to manny he will come back to manchester and take a couple of easy fights before retiring as he and his backers know that his loyal fans will pay to see him fight dot cotton...
and before i get criticsed for knocking ricky consider i have laid out a good few quid waatching him fight in vegas and ny

So you're saying that he isn't arrogant enough?

That's not a view that will go down well here.

For Gods sake, whatever you do, just don't say that he doesn't talk about himself in the third person enough...

Good post. I agree.

[Guy]

Ricky needs a bit more self belief.

I believe in him.

Do you?

Losing to Mayweather has, in general, decreased Hattons stock. If he was 46-0 now, talking about breaking Marciano's record, or retiring undefeated, he would generally be regarded in a better light. That is wrong IMO and bad for boxing - but that's just the way it is.

In an ideal world, imo, a decisive loss to an elite fighter should neither decrease or increase a boxers stock from what it was before.

As far as the question about getting credit for a loss goes, on some occasions it's valid: take Duran's efforts against Marvin Hagler for example. You also get close matches such as Tito v Oscar (where Oscar deserves some credit there) or Castillo v Mayweather 1.

Unless it's a very close classic fight though, I shouldn't think Hatton will get any credit to losing to any of these guys. It's not like he's doing a Duran weight moving feat.

[GazOC]

I think Hatton could be given something of a "freebee" for losing to Mayweather but losses to either of Pac or JMM will put a big dent in his legacy.

[icemax]

He'd definately lose to Mayweather again. He's gonna beat Pac. JMM I'm 50/50 on.

Hatton - JMM is the only fight that i'm interested in...as you say 50/50

[Beeston Brawler]

Hatton vs Cotto is a fight I wouldn't mind seeing.
