he has everything apart from one thing...
his chin and how he handles a shot aint great and has shown a few leaks already.
see if you can find a copy of his fight against Laszlo Komjathi you'll see what i mean  ;)
i think his chin is fine how many times in 41 fights has he been down twice ?? cant remember how many times but hardly ever he is good fighter not quite great at moment he needs few more big names but he is still good solid fighter yea he gets shook up few times but who doesnt with his style u do sometimes get rocked and maybe u get floored but with his brawling style that sometimes happens but he has got through every test so far so i consider him good fighter but not quite great yet

Re: Is Ricky Hatton one of the All Time Greats?
Well Ricky Hatton right now is a good fighter, more than likely Hall of Fame material, he's won over 40 fights, he beat Kostya Tszyu, he's undefeated at the moment.....he's won a couple belts here and there
To consider him GREAT he either has to beat another great or fight a LOT of good competition and beat them soundly. Sure he had a bad fight vs Collazo but Luis would give ANYONE a hard time, he's a lefty with a good defense and decent punch.
My career advice for Ricky Hatton 5 fights (after the Urango one) then retire
1. Diego Corrales 140
2. Jose Luis Castillo 140
3. Arturo Gatti 147
4. Miguel Cotto 147
5. Zab Judah 147
and if possible a Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight but that is waaaaaaay outside of the relm of possibility if he loses to anyone.
Another fighter that may be decent for Hatton to fight is Shane Mosley, he likes to brawl, he stays in close every now and then, and he's getting older....and he'd make you a TON of money but it would be an uphill battle the whole night.
Ricky has the oppertunity to become great he just has to make it happen.
