-Before Tszyu, he beat no one of note.
-He beat an over the hill Tszyu who retired after the fight. Not only was Tszyu old, he was coming off of some major injuries and had fought a handful of rounds in 3 years. This is his best win clearly, but far from impressive considering Tszyu's age, health, activity, and fight location.
-He followed up the win over Tszyu by beating Carlos Maussa, likely the worst beltholder in the history of the 140 lb. division. Maussa is so terrible he has gone on to lose to a journeyman coming off a 5 year layoff and then got knocked out in 1 round by a prospect. This is particularly embarrassing for Hatton when you consider that he struggled for 9 rounds with Maussa before finally ending the fight.
-Hatton moved up to welterweight and received a gift decision against Luis Collazo. Hatton struggled the entire fight and was out on his feet in the final round.
-Hatton returned to 140 to hit and hug his way to a win over a prospect Juan Urango. Why is a world champion still fighting prospects with 19 fights?
-He followed that win by beating another over the hill name Jose Luis Castillo. Anyone who knows anything about boxing could see from the start of the first round that this version of Castillo clearly was damaged goods and nowhere near the fighter that fought an epic with Chico Corrales or gave Mayweather all he could handle 5 years earlier.
Hatton has been fed nothing more than a steady diet of handpicked opponents through 43 fights and he is now cashing on his popularity with a Mayweather fight. Hatton belongs nowhere near the P4P and he will be exposed as merely an average fighter on December 8th...
