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
