is holding hatton even the best fighter at 140? or just the biggest draw?

[Diego Corrales]

someone said that hatton was the best at 140 and i disagreed

i say clottey would make hatton look worse then he will vs floyd, because of his power and combinations...

clottey has quick hands like floyd but doesnt pot shot and isnt afrid to exchange... he was beating margarito badly until the hurt hand....


if its a healthy clottey


clottey 7th round TKO

Nah Hatton is head and shoulders above everyone at 140 lbs. If he wasn't then he wouldn't get a whole bunch of abuse for not permanently moving up to 147.

We have another certified Hatton hater, Diego Corrales! Is he a Diego Fuego alt?

Clottey is a welter. Hatton is recognized as the best in the 140 division, but he really hasn't fought anyone who is ranked high in the 140 division. Witter, N'dou, etc. check the ring stats if you want proof.

Hatton is the best at 140, but 140 is clearly the worst division in boxing today...

Hatton fought the guy who was rated number one challenger by the Ring in his very last fight. Castillo has now dropped down to sixth following his knockout loss but the week before the fight he was rated at the top.

You might be right. I didn't look at the ratings before the fight. My bad there, I guess it would make sense that anyone in any divison wouldn't have beaten the #1 rated person in their division, because that has a tendency to make them drop.

but he beat the #1 in the division to become the best at the division and if i aint mistaken he was rated the best in the division when the p4p king wsa there
