Re: How good was Rick Hatton?
He was very good. Tenacious is the first word that comes to mind to describe Hatton. He would have had a tear up with Bradley, but beaten him. And I think he could have gotten to Khan as well. Hatton was a ferocious body puncher and dogmatic pressure fighter with a champion's heart. Those qualities led him to fight above what his talent otherwise would have afforded him to. His only losses are to the very best of the best in Mayweather and Pacquaio, although I think he lost to Collazo as well.
