people wernt saying he was over the hill before they fought alot of people thought he would take hatton kostya was considered a great and hatton beat him how does that make him overrated ??
People should have been saying he was over the hill. He was old and had fought like twice in a four year period. And he had an injured shoulder going into the fight. And it was still very close!

Plus, while Kostya was considered quite good (at his prime), I'm not sure he was ever considered "great," and he was not rated as high p4p as people currently rate Hatton. How beating a #5-10 guy proves that you're capable of beating the #1 guy is a little beyond me. Kind of the definition of "overrating" someone.
