I've always been a fan, but never a fan boy, I've always known and stated his limitations (and predicted every single one of his fights I have seen correctly - god I'm amazing )... but I think everybody is going to far with condemnation of how good he was. He was never going to beat PBF or Pac, they are in a completely different league, but Hatton was a very good world champion and clearly the best fighter in the world at 140 for a good few years. He had a whole lot more than just stamina and workrate. As for now, he is shot to pieces and should retire.

Gotta say though, If I were him I wouldn't be able to retire ona defeat like that either
Nice post H, I reckon he was up there just was never going to be legendary. I do hope that he isn't being fed a line in BS about how he was beaten by a cheat blah blah, and then comes in less than 100%

Still reckon he should have called it quits though.
