Matthew Hatton

'Kell and I are two of the best welterweights in the world' - Matthew Hatton

[Khaosai-Galaxy]

If the centre of the world is Hope Valley, in the Peak District, and its radius is about 12 miles, maybe.

Excellent.

I once met a man in Walkden who told me he had never been further than Bolton, some 3 miles down the road, in his entire life.

When asked why he said "because of the big Tesco's and my bad back"

I nodded in understanding and returned to my seat. "You meet some funny people in pubs at 10:30 on a Tuesday morning"*



























*He muttered to himself

[Coco]

Lynes would have too much for Hatton

[xXHAMMERXx]

He isn't even the best in the northwest !!

[marbles]

or manchester

[Horse]

Can anyone name 20 welterweights that would beat Hatton before they take the mickey?

[marbles]

i said hes not even the best in manchester carn,t be arsed wasting my time writing twenty names down who,d beat him but 1 lad from manchester has already beat him watson a fit and focused barnes would have to much for him and even vassell would have a great chance and i would back him twenty welters to beat him wouldn,t be hard 5 have already and hes been very well matched and looked after but he is a god pro and doesn,t deserve to be slagged off i agree

[stujones]

Horse, he's ranked 20 at Welterweight and below him are some fighters who have either all ready beaten him, or would be a good fight (e.g Lynes, Vassell, Malignaggi, Clottey etc).

[Khaosai-Galaxy]

I think Yassine El Maachi would beat Mathew Hatton.I think the paying public as usual are being denied exciting decent fights in the name of the old sorry cliches 'business' and 'what people are bringing to the table' The public are not interested in that crap and just want to see good cracking fights...

NOPE sorry, you are wrong there.

The public wants to see stars. Stars sell tickets, not fights.

A LOT more people want to see Brook V Hatton than Brook V El Maachi fact! El Maachi hasn't beaten anyone to deserve to be even considered for Brook

Were you the guy who said the day after Ricky Hatton beat Juan Lazcano in front of 44,000 people at COM stadium that "Ricky Hatton is driving people away from boxing"


Anyway, you are the worst poster in the world.

Nobody is taking the 'mickey' ......Just pointing out that Matthew Hatton's statement that he and Kell Brook are the best welterweights in the world is deluded

He said two of the best, which is arguably true.

I think Malignaggi boxes Matthew's brains off.... too quick handed. Brook would have too much strength and power at Welterweight.... don't think Matthew has the power.

[TJ77]

Fair enough im no fan of matthew and malinaggi has improved not sure hatton couldnt handle him though

[TJ77]

I also think kell by tko inside 8 rounds tough nut to crack hatton but kell needs to do a right number on him to get the public excited

[Horse]

There you go Horse - no indication of their ranks - but here is 20 fighters who would at least run Matthew very close.

But, you think Hatton might be one of the best 20 fighters in the welterweight division, right?

My point is that I don't really see any reason to jump on Hatton's comment and mock him, when what he said is fairly reasonable.

No - I've just named fighters who I actually think would beat Hatton. Some not forgone conclusions and open to debate.... but I would favour all of those.

There would be possibly another 10-15 guys on top of these 20 (maybe more) who you could debate could beat Hatton, below those you start favouring Matthew heavily.

He's definately wouldn't have thought there are 50 Welterweights who could beat him. But twenty - yes.
