How good was Rick Hatton?

[captainanddew]

His 2 loses were agains the number 1 boxer in the world at the time.

He could have gone on for many more years if he had wanted but made the right choise to get out when he did.

Also he gave a good 5 or 6 years of great action for British fight fans.

please don't only point to those losses. I'm a Yank and I enjoyed every his career. But he lost to Collazo. If you don' think he only won that fight because he is the MUCH BIGGER NAME, then you are very naive.

He was very good. I don't agree that he would have beaten Bradley, hands down.

He was a very good Lt Welter
