Does Hatton deserve to be in the HOF?

VG_Addict

Does he? I mean, his best win was against a faded Tszyu, and he got DESTROYED every time he fought a truly great fighter.

Very easy yes.

In my opinion, bringing in tons of money and fans isn't enough to be in the HOF.

As opposed to the other kind of FAME that brings no money and fans.

Ehhhh I don't know. I think others like Castillo and Corrales had better wins than he did.

People downplay the Tszyu win though. Tszyu had come back and beaten Mitchell, and moved himself right back to #3 P4P and hadn't lost in forever. That was a big win. Hatton also had other wins over Collazo, Urango, Lazcano, and Malignaggi, which were all decent/solid wins over Top 10 fighters. He also had other alright wins over Tackie and Maussa. Those guys weren't world beaters, but they were Top 10 at 140 when Hatton beat them.

Hatton's resume and wins really aren't that much different than Tszyu, who got into the HOF on his first ballot.

In short, no.

hell no.

his best win is a past prime kostya and he needed the help of a biased crooked referee to do it.
