Is Hatton One of the Top 30 Fighters of the Last Decade?

[Addison]

No, I didn't. But come to think of it, I can't think of a single white American boxer that's any good, except maybe Kelly Pavlik (we'll see on Saturday). There's lots of excellent Black boxers (i.e.,Wright, Jones, Brewster, Hopkins) and top notch Latin American boxers (i.e., Diaz, Arrolea) in the US, but white American men seem to be chicken**** in the ring.

Maybe that's why $iN hates Calzaghe and Hatton so much.

If I had read the thread I would know that..

Good stuff.

[Dorian]

hell no!!!

[Cletus Funk]

You missed off Duran and Foreman. LOL........

Seriously, at least 5 of those fighters shouldn't be anywhere near that list and there are probably another 10 that are highly debatable.

Ok ill do it, plus these 5

Antonio Tarver
Michael Nunn
Vernon Forrest
Fernando Vargas
Ike Quartey

There's 30

And there are many more we have forgotten also.

No. Niether is Kosta Tzyu.

Lmao, funny stuff...

[OptimusWolf]

What an awful thread, courtesy of $in yet again.

The Monk, you've summed it up perfectly, only after 4 months of ruining NSB, this guy is still making anti-Brit fighter polls on a daily basis.

Is Hatton top 30 since 1997. Yes, top 20....probably not.

Does Mayweather's narrow victory over an aged pro (DLH) warrant him claiming to best of all time?

Take a look at the records of the 10 men Hatton beat BEFORE Kostya. Because they mostly weren't Americans, you consider them bums. That seems a lot like racism to me...

narrow, racist - not in the least, don't let the media and that one idiot judge fool you - mayweather's performance was a dominating one over ODLH.

look, i've looked at threads in the past and i see how hatton catches a lot of **** on these boards by people who want to throw into question an entire people, the brits. i type to you that i'm not one of them, there have been greats from the UK and i recognize this, but with the maybe drought .... you may have some over-zealous fans that want to push hatton to greatness before he's even nudged a foot in the door, but you as a hatton proponent shouldn't default to this weak rebuttal, the race card.

i've never be-friended a "limey", personally, but i feel they're great people like the rest of humanity that still walk the earth. i'm far from a racist, and very near IMHO, to a boxing czar / enthusiast / nerd

you do ricky NO justice bringing up mayweather, they are not comparable, its a slap in the face to mayweather, a 5, READ IT, a 5 division champ that has BLASTED (most part) all of his stellar competition. no one in boxing has his body of work, well, its only rivaled by pac. no surprise there, they're interchangeable in the p4p rankings at #'s 1 and 2.

hatton had an EH performance against tzuyu, IMO, extremely boring non-tactical match up, however - hatton looked GREAT during his fights with tackie and showed some balls in not being overcome by collazo in the last stanza. i like hatton, hes a bit too ruizish for my tastes but here's to him clearing out the 140's

i love all of you equally.

No mate, never said they were the top 30, i said these were 30 fighters better than hatton, thus meaning hatton cant be in the top 30
imo.

The n word comes from the old Greek word "niger" meaning dark. The word became a racial slur when the spelling changed and it took on a condescending, derogatory meaning. Similarly, the word "limey" had innocent enough beginnings, but came into later use as a derogatory and insulting term.

First of all your a ****** for attempting to take down my rating, i wont do the same to you, you know ive had 4 brits come on my profile and give me a rating of one, you still couldnt take me down lower than four stars why?

Cos everybody else rated me a five, same with the karma bar, it took two guys htting it throughout the day to get it down to red. lol

And even though i didnt go and give you a one star rating, cos im not a ***** like you, you still have a two star rating LMAO, i admit, i was tempted to see if i could take you down to one star, keep being a *****, and you may find out.

No, calling someone a limey is not the same as calling a black person the n-word, and if you can't work that out, i suggest cognitive behaviour therepy.
