I do think Hatton can easily be one of the top 20 fighters since 1997, i dont hate on him or anything infact i watch most of his fights, he has had some exciting fights, and i think if he fights in the welterweight division he can achieve almost everything, Mayweather,Cotto, Williams,etc there are many fights for him there rather than light welterweight, but i dont think he will move up because of what happened in the collazo fight and he turned down Mayweather couple of times saying he wasnt ready yet.
Is Hatton One of the Top 30 Fighters of the Last Decade?

Ottke I dont like him, he always got ****ing gift decisions and to be honest I would even go on to say Hatton is more skilled than him, although i do admit i havent seen enough of him to comment further on skill, obviously hatton is a better fighter than ottke as well. but again the accomplishments were better, robberies or not W is a W, there were couple of robberies and couple of legit but he defended his title 20 times.
All 30 of those I listed IMO have achieved far more but Hatton can catch up, thats my true opinion.Comment

I said in terms of achievements, Collins beat Nigel Ben Twice, Chris Eubank twice, both of these legend he beat them twice, i know they were far from their primes but its still a better achievement.

How has steve Collins achived more than Ricky Hatton?Comment

It cant JUST go on skill. You can be the most skillful fighter in the world, but if you've got no heart then how can he possibly be a top fighter? If you've got no determination, no chin, no strength, no motivation etc etc etc.Comment

Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank in my opinion are greats. both good fighters, Collins beat Nigel Benn TWICE both by TKO, Then beat Eubank TWICE, both by decision, then beat one or two C level fighters and retired, the fact is he beat legends in eubank and benn, even though they were past their prime that achievement is better than Hatton's IMO.Comment

The more Skills you have the less heart and determination you need,
And besides heart is very subjective, right down your alley, you know how hard it would be to do a top 30 based on heart?
Of course i didnt mean that last comment literally, it was smart-assed, but you know what im about,
Skills pay the bills.
lol.Comment

There are so many variables to take into account, that basing your opinion of Hatton and of this poll, purely on skill..... makes it seem like your mind was already made up in the first place and is not likely to be changed.
Therefore, if you can't come into a poll of this sort with an objective frame of mind...... then don't come into it at all.Comment

That's just being extremely ignorant on your part then.

If you really wanna judge hatton on achivements, no, beating one class fighter doesnt make you top 30.
It was loose comment as explained above, you can pull your pants up now, i fancy a night infront of the telly.

Its wrong to come into a poll with an idea of how you are going to vote?

lol.
Again, Stop ending every rant of yours with some random abstract phrase and then ending it in a derisive "LOL" - It's annoying and just makes you look like a fool.Comment
