Hatton was a Fluke!!

[CGM]

Downplaying the career of Hatton's biggest name victim doesn't look good for Hatton.

So whats your view on it then? Am i wrong or have i missed something, everyone could see Kosta was a class act and a very very good boxer/fighter, but he lacks names on his resume.

Valid question, IMO Tszyu's name victories stack higher than Hatton's, but not by a huge amount. More name victims on Tszyu's resume. I don't really want to have a debate on why TSZYU's victims were better than Hatton's, but I will if you want. Also Tszyu ranks higher by virtue of the length and # of defenses in his reign.

I wouldn't say Tszyu & Castillo were totally shot, but they definitely were on the downside, especially Castillo. And it doesn't mean a whole lot to me to say things like "Hatton only lost to the best" Cause I think you judge a fighter by who he beat, not by who he lost too.

I would have been much more prepared to give Hatton credit if he'd taken a serious run at welterweight. But the consensus of his fans seems to be that Hatton wasn't competitive moving up a microdivision in weight, in which case he had no business fighting PBF in the first place.

So yeah, he's a decent fighter, you might even call him a good fighter, but great? nah not by a long shot. And I never really consider him as top ten p4p material.
