Is Ricky Hatton Hall Of Fame Worthy?

Certainly one of the best exports from these shores in recent times, and as Miles say's he captured belts in 2 weight divisions, fought the best that was out there, and was regarded as the MAN at LWW.

He didn't fight the best out there. LOL Sorry to crash your tea party mate but Ricky Hatton has a great following and they sure can cheer for him until he's face first on the canvas. If we let him in then lets just let in everyone.

Kind of like the Jeremy Lin debacle..... If Ricky wasn't from across the way then he would be another small tribal casino fighter. He would have been exposed earlier on and might not have got that golden opportunity to beat up on an old Tszyu

Troll right there, who the fuck is Jeremy Lin by the way...... your local binman ?

Jeremy Lin is an NBA player who has shot to stardom on account of being an undrafted, Asian-American, Harvard graduate, that now is the starting point guard for the New York Knicks.


Ricky Hatton gets in down the line in my opinion, decent enough record, only lost to some great fighters in Mayweather & Pacquiao. Beat Tszyu, beat Jose Luis Castillo...didn't really seek out a load of dangerous fighters, but at 140 he was the man for a while.

Interesting that Chico and Gatti were brought up to compare with Hatton as I wanted to see all those guys fight each other.
