Fantasy Fight: Josh Taylor v Ricky Hatton

Post by Stuarty »

One of these daft hypothetical fights but what a war this would've been @140.... Both vicious body punchers. How would you see this going?

What a fight mind. Maybe taylor might have a bit too much of everything, he'd also look huge. Taylor might still prove to be even better than he is now so i'd just give him the edge in a war. Imagine Taylor v cotto at 140......!

Cotto was a beast at 140. Pity him and Hatton never got it on!

We’ve probably not even seen the best of Taylor yet. Very adaptable fighter in often difficult circumstances.

What a scrap that would be, think the Hatton who beat Kosta would nick it

Don't like Hatton but IMO he would beat Taylor by UD.

Already after not even 20 fights Taylor is getting close to being a candidate for britain’s Best ever 140-pounder, among Hatton, Marsh & Khan.

If Taylor keeps on doing the great stuff he's delivering...…..then he wins this match-up.
But right now, I just edge it for Hatton.

Worth taking a fresh look at this one in 18 months time I'd suggest.
