Is he more deserving than Chico and Gatti bruh?

That's like asking if Shannon Briggs should be in the hall.... he beat an old a$$ Foreman

So Ricky beat an old a$$ Tszyu. Doesn't make him hall worthy.

Of course, he had a very good career. People hate on Hatton because of the two losses, but he had a long and active career and beat several very good opponents. The man was a two weight world champion and was the man in his division for several years.

no, people "hate" on Hatton cause of his opponent selection for the vast majority of his career aside from Tszyu (depending on who you ask) and the two guys he lost to, after winning against Kostya he fought the likes of Maussa, was given a gift against Collazo, a good win against a then undefeated Urango, fought a shot Castillo, then got his ass whooped by Floyd, looked like crap against Lazcano, beat up Malignaggi, then got his ass KO'd again this time by Pacquiao, it's not that stellar of a title reign if you really break it down

you lost me when you said 2 weight. He did not beat Luis Collazo. He lost that fight.

IMO not really, but people will say that he accomplished more, IMO though Chico and Gatti both should get in

Sure, why not?

Cracking exciting fighter with a nation behind him


100% not too many recent fighters that deserve it more

All three fought Floyd so.... let Floyd decide. LOL

I'm a big hatton fan and went to most of his fights but are'nt sure on this 1. He did dominate the divison and was a 2 weight champ but he never beat an elite fighter KT was still a v good fighter but a little old when Hatton beat him. He had some good wins against decent fighters but there wasnt many fighters that Hatton could of fought that he didnt there was Cotto but at that time when people were talking about this fight Hatton wasnt ready then there was Witter. Hatton only lost to 2 outstanding fighters in Mayweather and Pacquiao but beat all the rest in a very good career.<br />
<br />
He will always be remembered for his army of fans that followed him everywhere and the good fighter that he was.

He may well get in just because of his huge fan base.
