Can anyone beat Hatton at 140?

[The Monk]

Just to clarify, when I said no one beats a prime Hatton at 140lbs I meant of the boxers who campaign there at present.

Mate, I've read a lot of your stuff on here and think you're a decent poster, but strongly disagree about Hatton destroying Malignaggi.

Thanks for the props mate ... i guess i have an inbuilt dislike of Malignaggi that clouds my judgement ... i agree he is a decent boxer but still feel that Hatton will be too much for him, especially on his last showing which was farcical IMO, the only way Paulie beats him for me is to stay on his bike and take a decision victory, i just feel (HOPE!!!) that if Hatton catches him with a few body shots he will fold.

Malignaggi will beat him and Lovemore n"dou would beat him as well.
If Lazcano can stun and almost knock him out Malignaggi and N'dou would soundly beat Hatton.

See above for my opinions on Paulie and im not even gonna justify the N'Dou comments, thats just ridiculous
Being mates with the cornermen of several of the Manchester boxers i am aware that Hattons chest infection was more serious than he revealed to the press which left him a little drained and out of shape, rewatch the fight and you will see that yes Hatton was stunned but nowhere near being KO'd.

I think Hatton still gots a couple years left but he isn't exactly the same as he was before as the amazing body puncher his lifestyle messed him up

Agreed

I'd like to see Hatton v Torres. I think Torres would give him one of the hardest nights he's had.

id like to see that fight too, Torres is a bit of an unknown and underrated here in the UK and i reckon it could deffo be one of Hattons hardest tests to date.

the question is who cant beat hatton if u ask me. the top fighters at 140 would all beat hatton imo. btw i dont regard paulie as one of them tho. witter, bradley, hopkins, holt and maybe forbes would beat him.

[The Legacy]

Personally I can't see anyone beating Hatton at 140 at the moment.

I never thought Witter would have the ability to and I haven't changed my mind. Ricky might be slightly past his best and as others say his lifestyle away from the ring hasn't helped but I still wouldn't bet against him in any fight at 140 pounds.

[Hagler★]

Yes. Any of the top 135 would beat hatton at 140. Pacman Marquez Cassamayor Guzman Campbell. And at 140 Amir Khan. I know of at least 8 fighters at 147 that could beat hime if he dared to go to 147. So he should stay at 140 where his lack of skill is not taken advantage of.

this is officially BO-LAX

If Cotto stepped down I think he would take Hatton, along with Zab Judah and Margarito. Hatton to me is an overrated fighter, anyone who can take his shots or box would beat him imho.

[Rafael Benitez]

'Great'? I don't think so. he is good, not great. People throw that word around too easily nowadays. I would say even Floyd has two more fights to go before making that grade (Margarito and Cotto). If Cotto came down he would kick his fat ass. If Malignaggi kept his hands together he would have a slim chance. Witter also has slim to no chance. They all have a chance.

Hatton talks so much **** about wieght and makes excuses about not being natural at Welterweight. Floyd started at 130lbs! He was a super-featherweight! If anything fat boy is defo more natural at that weight. I think he got battered against that tattooed hispanic dude too. WHat a bum. Can;t wait to see him knocked out on his arse again.

I agree that if Cotto came back to 140 he would almost certainly be too much for Hatton, as for the rest @ 140 ... Hatton beats them all IMO
