    That's a bit harsh....2 losses to 2 #1 P4P fighters and all of a sudden Hatton is "one dimensional" and "a front runner".

    Ricky got knocked cold but it was by arguably the BEST fighter in the sport today.

    Nobody else at 140 has PBF/Manny's speed and power....I think Ricky is a title holder at 140, he could beat most of the young guys out there, he just isn't going to beat the tourists who are just passing through the division.

    I think he'd beat a lot of the guys at 140

    The problem is Hatton never fought the best challenges at 140 yet claimed he was the best in the division. The win over Tzyu was fantastic he fought the two P4P number one fighters and on both occasions showed that he was unable to changes his style when dealing with adversity.

    He fought fighters like Maussa, Lascano and malinaggi (Good skill, no power, little threat) when he had challenges from more capable fighters like Bradley, Witter, Holt, Torres! Hatton's camp (Not Hatton) did not want to risk him losing against anything over than the best as if you lose to the best your status diminishes very little. Hatton never fought the best at 140 bar a past his best Kosta and so I have little respect for his acomplishments or ability. And I am from the UK.
