I guess it depends on your definition, but Hatton will never be an ATG IMO. If he had beaten Floyd, maybe, but not now. He simply doesn't have the skills or level of competition to put him in that category.

He will go down as one of the more popular fighters of all time though.
If he was to beat Oscar De La Hoya he would probably end up in the Hall of Fame simply for having a W over him and Tszyu and being a two weight world champ. Being in the HOF to me constitutes towards being an ATG.
