    Hatton was very good, just not good enough.

    Like @Master just said, at least with Hatton there are no unanswered questions, he pushed and found his limits.

    Whereas Joe left us with a lot of unanswered questions.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I think Hatton gave PBF his toughest fight other than 1 round with Mosley.

    Overall, he was a bit overrated because some fans forget fighters are human and have limitations. He should have stayed at 140 and he would have had a few more years of dominance. I think he would have stopped Zab and he really didn't have much in the division at the time he went to 147.

    Ricky was a really good fighter , he pushed himself , and could have avoided PBF etc , but he wanted to at least try to beat the best, and for that he should be commended.
    He should have lived the boxers life a bit more , but he is what he is , all round hes a good egg.

    He should be commended for fighting 2 prime p4p boxers.
    Not criticised for 2 losses.

    Far better than fighting bums , corpses , and O.A.P's , are you listening Calzaghe ?

    Credit to Hatton for getting into the ring against the two p4p fighters today. I just don't think his resume warranted getting those shots in the first place. I think it was more of a popularity issue that carried Hatton to those big paydays.

    Where Hatton DID rub me the wrong way was when he dared to imply he was fighting for the world's p4p when he was going to face Pacquaio. The nerve. And just bypass all other, much better fighters than himself in the process? Sorry... that's not the way p4p works. You WORK your way toward a p4p fight by beating the top contenders out there. And convincingly... not the way he got the nod against Luis Collazo.

    As it turns out, justice was made in the ring... and any talk of world's p4p disappeared with one vicious left cross from hell.

    how does beating the worlds p4p champion not make you the new p4p champion ?
