He's always used that fight as validation that he belongs amongst boxing's elite but I think that win was a little overrated. Ricky's competition @ 140 has been average since Tszyu, Maussa was garbage (Victor Ortiz proved that), Urango was given a horrible gift decision in the fight before Hatton that proved he was one-dimensional, JLC was completely washed up and just looking for a big check to pay off his many debts. Hatton is a good fighter but anyone saying he's an ATG is a fucking idiot.
Tszyu was p4p#2 fighter in the world
Castillo was top 10 p4p in most p4p threads i saw on here.
Just because a fighter is old in boxing terms, doesn't mean he is washed up
And your last point makes no sense whatsoever seen as tho he only got 40k for the fight.
