Will Hatton be an all time great?

[eagle]

lets b honest if hatton beat Pac and Paulie then he has been one the most dominant fighter at 140 ever.. and thats fact.. does that not make you an all time great

Why would beating Paulie and Pac ,ake him the most dominant 140 fighter ever. The other 3 great 140 fighters, Tszyu, JCC and Prior would have all eaten Paulie and Pac alive at 140.

Amen.

[Tysonbruno]

NO!

[CutMeMick]

Ricky has now said that its two more fights then out.. I think he will beat paulie easily to be honest, and then that leave Pac or Oscar... For me it has to be Pac, Oscar is too big and a win over pac now would do more for Rickys status...

Just wondered, if he fights and beats both Paulie and Pac then retires, would you consider him an all time great?

He has only ever lost once to the P4P no.1 so no discrase there, and has beat everyone he could ov at 140.. i think its a pitty that the 140 division has gone a bit dry since Cotto, mayweather etc moved up.. Ricky just cant cut it at 147 and i honestly feel that Hatton could ov beat cotto at 140 and certainly given Mayweather a better fight.

Well he can be ATG depending how long your willing to make a list in order to be able to list him.
I mean TOP 100 ATG

Thing is he burtst onto the scene like someone had lite a fire cracker in his arse since then he's had mediocre performances he's been flat. The one outstanding performance came against JLC and if you dig back I predicted JLC wouldn't make it past 5. JLC was a corpse then and if JLC keeps fighting it's shame cause if he was a corpse then he's probably just bones now.

If Hattons serious about 2/3 more fights depending on those fights will be how far his legacy goes.

He is most def. a UK All Time Great that is for certain and I'm sure he's happy with that.
As long as his people recognize him and treat 'em like one of the boys he'll be fine.

[Pugilistic]

Hatton hasn't done enough in my book to be an all time great, he is one of Britains finest though.

[Wayne]

No.

[No Contest]

I think after all is said and done, he will be up there, if he hangs around and keeps fighting the top guys at lww, you can't deny him. Not everyone can be multiple weight division champs, come now his only loss was to "Money" Mayweather.

[No Contest]

He could clean up LWW and retire unified, now that would be a nice cherry on top.

[Daim]

Don't think so.. His resume ain't that good to be called an ATG.

[Mark TKO]

I agree - no way an all time great. Not had enough significant wins against other main guys in their prime.

Even if he beats Pac it won't change anything. A win over Mayweather is only way he could get back to be considered for that status - and that is not going to happen end of - even if a rematch takes place

Had he beaten Mayweather then maybe - but then again Honeyghan beat Curry didn't he...

An all time British great ? Yes Hatton is definitely that. Hall of fame without a doubt.

But sadly not an ATG.

Calzaghe....?

[antimoron]

How many fights he fought at top flight? and who are they? Then that will define his status in the ALL TIME GREAT LIST.
So now lets take a look at Hattons record..

1- 45 fights (44 wins,31 by KO, 1 loss only)
(loss to FM for the WBC WW)

2- who's who in those 44 wins? How many championship level fights?
Championship level (title on the line or eliminator)
WBC,WBA,IBF,WBO,lets include RING

top level opposition:

-all started with the IBF eliminator Michael Stewart(36-2-2)LWW
-Kostya Tszyu(31-1-0)IBF LWW
-Carlos Maussa(20-2-0)IBF WBA LWW
-Luis Collazo(26-1-0)WBA WW
-Juan Urango(17-0-1)IBF LWW
-Jose Luis Castillo(55-7-1) LWW
-Floyd Mayweather Jr(38-0-0) WBC WW
-Juan Lazcano(37-4-1)LWW

3 - How long has he been in the top flight? 3-4YEARS
4- How many fights since? 7fights
5- record since? 6 WINS , 1 LOSS
6- How many sure future hall of famers he fought? 2 maybe(tszyu&fm)
(for more see his record at boxrec)

The C.V. of Mr. Hatton speak for itself. Now judge if he is an ALL TIME GREAT. Please don't argue with reasons of conspiracy like PAST THEIR PRIME or MOVING UP DIVISION or ETC ETC... A win is A WIN and A loss is A LOSS. Now compare his C.V. to all other active fighters right now. look at lightweight-l.welter-welter fighters.

Are you impress with his record and consider him an all time great or not?

PEACE

Thanks mate for the list. That's why im still not impress with Hatton's record. He was a little overhype to my opinion... im sorry but that's what i see... He's not yet there but he can change it by taking significant fights.
