    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.
    Okay here's where reading the whole thread instead of entering late is benefical.

    I know your Woman tells you its okay to Come Late, but it doesnt apply in this instance.

    The list for Miksterious was 30 FIGHTERS BETTER THAN HATTON, not based on achivements, but skills, aka, who is the better fighter.

    20 of those fighters are multi weight world champs anyways so there goes your above arguement.

    Ready? 1,2,3...........


    LOL.

      But nobody asked for that list. I said that I considered Hatton to be a top 20-30 fighter over the past 10 years. Your list was supposed to be refuting that not by naming 30 fighters who you considered to be better fighters, but by naming 30 who had been better over the past 10 years. I cant see how its possible to do that without taking into account achievements. Tyson fought in the past years and was undoubtedly a better fighter than Hatton, but no way was he a 'better fighter of the past 10 years', cos since 1997 Tyson has been effectively ****.

        Easy.

        If i can name 30 fighters in the last 10 years that are better fighters than Hatton.

        So can others

        Aka, he probably is NOT one of the best 20-30 fighters in the last 10 years.

        I never mentioned Tyson.

        Its relevant.

        Notice how the poll has closed in though, as more people are voting the gap has closed down.

        Parody did a list of 30 based on achivements anyways, so if you dodge my bullet, you'll walk straight into his.

          After re-reading your post, Mik it seems you have been confused

          1) My list contains greats from the last 10 years

          2) 20 of them are multi Weight world champs

          So i have taken Achivements into context

          Take any one of my 30 and lets match them up against hatton achievements wise, Eastenders is done now, i could do with the enertainment.

            But both of your lists are just as arguable as the argument that Hatton is above many of the people on the lists.

            You keep seeming to refer to your list as though its a nailed on fact that is not open for dispute. Some people have already disputed it. I dont have time at the moment to post a detailed analysis of which I agree with and which I disagree with and the reasons for it all. I've got a very busy week up ahead, remind me on Friday and we can have a lengthy discussion about it then.

                Let's see...

                In no particular order (off the top of my head, probably going to forget a few obvious ones):

                Lennox Lewis
                Floyd Mayweather
                Naseem Hamed
                Erik Morales
                Marco Antonio Barrera
                Oscar De La Hoya
                Shane Mosley
                Roy Jones Jr.
                Manny Pacquiao
                James Toney
                Wlad Klitschko
                Vitali Klitschko
                Bernard Hopkins
                Felix Trinidad
                Joe Calzaghe
                Chris Eubank
                Nigel Benn
                Julio Cesar Chavez
                Kostya Tsyzu
                Pernell Whitaker
                Winky Wright
                Fernando Vargas
                Diego Corrales
                Evander Holyfield
                Virgil Hill
                Jose Luis Castillo
                Stevie Johnston
                Joel Casamayor
                Genero Hernandez
                Zab Judah
                Ricky Hatton

                Maybe top 30, but near the tail end of it. Top 35 for sure. He needs another big win. Cause right now all he's riding on is the Kostya win.

                At least someone like Vargas has wins over Winky and Quartey

                  Yes, I have only two stars, because six Hatton Haters (including you and $iN) gave me a one star rating. If other Hatton Haters want to do the same, they are free to do so. But it won't stop me from defending him.

                  If you were an intelligent person, you'd understand that hating someone because of his nationality is both ****** and ethically wrong. If Hatton was of Caribbean heritage like yourself, you wouldn't be so hard on him, would you?

                    Hatton is in his prime, undefeated, and is a fun, energetic, exciting prizefighter....who is barely top-10 at this moment, let alone top-100 of the past 30 years....

                    Floyd, Margarito, and PW would all be betting favorites at this moment over the Hitman

                      Not interested, im done with you on this forum, you did what you did, i cant talk to people who give people one star cos they dont agree with someone elses opinion.

                      What you did to me, i did back to you,

                      And besides people have been very nice to me today, i have recived more Good Karma than usual today which is quite a bit, and some nice poster even donated me some points, which was a suprise,

                      So its over for me,
                      dont ever talk about my Heritadge again either.
