Who did Hatton ever beat?

[KostyaTszyuTeam]

Your wrong btw........

Just after Tszyu Unified, he was talking of going to 147 to fight Spinks, possibly Forrest, same guy he stylistically owned in the world amateur title fight Right before Both went Pro.

Interms of going up the weights, he should've started at 135, since he fought at 140 for 12 years. He maybe couldve fought at 130 if he so tried, and his comparitive power would have been INSANE.

Anyway, NOT MANY know of his earlier half of his career before Phillips. And no, he got tkoed to Philips in a close fight, below his best. There is a story of the court case in the middle of his training, but he lost, so cant use that as an excuse. Sometimes you just underperformed, and for him he came back.

But yes, he wanted to fight Spinks, Mosely, Forrest, and especially De La Hota at 147, possibly even 154 for the right price or opponent. He still hits harder the De La Hoya two weight classes below, ask a common opponent lie Gonzalez.

He did lose in his prime, story aside FACT. You dont know his career nearly as well as I, therefore im not surprised you say he avoided going up in weight. The time he was supposed to, he was injured. The the challenge of Mitchell was there, a guy some say had given Tszyu trouble fight one in both guys primes, same winner twice though..

He was injured for nearly two years. Therefore when returning, the fight he wanted first was Gatti. Alot of money. Gatti chose PBF. Then Tszyu was talking about Mayweather if he beat Hatton, a guy he underestimated, assuning he'd win easy enough. He was proven considerably wrong that night.

Tszyu also changed his training and fight tactics after Phillips, as he used to have a more basic preperation, and fought a style more gung ho. Against Phillips the ended up trading bombs, and Tszyu is such a powerful puncher p4p, Phillips MAY HAVE BEEN MORE POWERFUL.

Actually, the slating Tszyu received in the U.S. after that, really damaged his reputation that the U.S. media didnt know much of in the earlier part of his career fought in Aus. It took charcter to cop it sweet and return taking out everyone to reinvent himself with a more cautious style so as to never be caught like that again.

His reign, again, whether he lost once in his prime or not, was a great accomplishment in boxing terms. Therefore, if as you say he beay no great opponents just good ones, being wold champion 10 years is a great achievement and that makes him great by defacto standards by your criteria, as that is a great accomplishment,. and reinventing yourself when down, and he was sued down to his underwear broke took charcater..

He came back from adversity, and Canastota only inducts guys who did great things in boxing, and what he did was a great achievement. Good fighter to you, who realised a great accomlishment by my understanding world champion 10 years. Therefore to a more harsh appraisal, he has defcato rights to greatness.

Alltime in the 140 pound division, by top 3 greatest 140 fghters alltime, whether you think he's overated or not. He still achieved great accomplishments.
