Ricky Hatton's Greatness?

[CarlosG815]

A little absurd to think Hatton should have fought any elite fighters in the 90s, don't you think?

Did I say he should have? I said he's been around since then. That means he has 6 years by 2003 to be experienced enough to take a shot at Mosley, DLH, Trinidad, etc...

2005 but not 2003.

Why would he be fighting welterweights when he hadn't even yet won a title at 140?

And FYI, Trinidad had already moved to 154 at the beginning of 2000. In fact all three of the guys you mentioned were at 154 in 2003, so I'm not sure what the hell you're talking about.

You clearly have no idea what you're even talking about.

Why would popular light middleweights/middleweights fight non-popular light welterweights?

Don't tag along to the people who posted before you, dumbass. Those are fighters who were still capable of fighting at WW in 2003.

Oscar fought Manny at 142 in 2008, Mosley is still fighting at 147 today.

There were many contenders in the early 2000's that Hatton never went up against, for whatever reason. He fought a lot of European fighters, and American nobody's. Kostya was his claim to fame and that's when he made a name in the US. Once he had his shot at the big time, he lost.

I don't tag along. When I see ******ity, I call it out. Which is what I did with your little theories.

At the time, Hatton was an unpopular fighter who fought two divisions below the other fighters. He hadn't even won a world title, yet.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Boxers make weight all the time, and when you're talking about differences of 5-10 pounds for a big fight, they do it. We all know Hatton doesn't have any problem putting on weight.

Wow. You not only have no idea what you're talking about, but you're delusional, as well.

Go back to school.

Care to explain that, kid? Or are you just repeating what you hear from grown ups?
