People can take digs at Hatton all night long, but he deserves a lot of credit. In recent years he has always tried to make big fights happen. He lost the two big ones, but he has beaten other fighters with strong resumes.

Hatton getting blown out like he did was always going to lead to revisionism regarding his credentials. But Hatton has been a very solid fighter for a good seven years now. It's too easy to say someone is crap after they lose. Hatton fought crap, but he isn't crap at all. And his record shows it. He just isn't Floyd Mayweather, but there is no shame in that.
