    Hatton was a good fighter and he fought the best opposition at the time, unfortunately the 140 pound division has not been strong competition wise in history. There is a reason why so many great fighters like Whitaker, Pac, Mayweather, De La Hoya, Ray Robinson, Duran, Mosley just pass through the division with a fight here or there or entirely skips it, because historically Welterweight has been the place with the biggest fights and money purses below the HW division.

    And for the record, Pryor and Tszyu imo also didn't have too many great names on their records at the division also, just like Hatton. Like I said, historically 140 pound division isn't that strong.

    just one comment on this daft post

    for a time when hatton was at his peak in the LWW division it was considered to have a lot more depth than the WW division

    Whatever makes you happy bro. Learn to live in reality. I know Hatton fans have a hard time with this. See all the excuses on why Hatton lost to 2 of the greatest fighters of this era.

    To be fair Eric when Hatton took the number 1 mantle up it was hot, but then everyone left or Hatton didn't fight any of the other 140 fighters that made it a hot division, his fault or not but most of Hatton's run at 140 Junior Witter was number fucking two

    a lot of fighters left the division yes

    but as i said, for a time when hatton was at his peak the light welterweight division was much stronger than the welterweight division, and that is a fact (not a fenster fact tho because his facts generally arent facts)

    and no hatton didnt fight any of the big names, but we are talking about the ridiculous notion that fighters always skip the division

    its probably strionger than welterweight now is it not?

    That's right, it was only hot for a moment and then Floyd and Cotto (the 2 biggest names at 140) went up to 147. And at 147 you had Floyd, Cotto, Margarito, Judah, Williams, Clottey, CIntron, etc.

    Much better than Hatton, Malignaggi, Castillo, Witter, Harris, Corley, Ndou, etc.

    Ring ratings for 2006. http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Th..._Ratings:_2006

    Ring Ratings for 2007. http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Th..._Ratings:_2007

    Ring Ratings for 2008. http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Th..._Ratings:_2008

    So when Hatton reigned it was only hot for a moment, and then the other 3 years he reigned it was so much inferior talent wise to 147. As I've said 147 has been historically the strongest division below HW, and throughout boxing history it has given the most biggest fights below HW. Fact.

    you are moving away from the discussion point

    2 or 3 years ago for about a year or 2 lww was better than ww, then for 2 or 3 years ww has been better than lww, now lww is better than ww and probly will be for a couple of years, and then it probly wont be for a couple of years, and then it probly will be

    you made a ridiculous comment that hattons record is shit because he fought at light welterweight

    its a ridiculous comment dude soz
