I'm sorry if you didn't understand my comments. Maybe this will help:
Lazcano - Pulled out injured so Hatton fought Collazo
Gatti - schedule to fight Hatton but got beat by Baldomir
Tszyu - Hatton beat Tszyu while Tszyu was by all accounts at the top of his game. Tszyu mecame "spent" after he had lost, not before.
Corrales - At lightweight until last year
Castillo - At lightweight until last year
Tszyu - You mentioned Tszyu twice, which is odd.
Malignaggi - Still fighting 8 rounders in 2005, famous to date for getting beat by Cotto
N'Dou - Once slated as an opponent, fight fell through
Judah - Would have been an acceptable fight
Cotto - No way was Arum putting Cotto in with Hatton at 140
Corley - An OK fight but not exactly stellar opposition
Witter - Perpetually two levels below in terms of career stage and a gob****e to boot
Mayweather (scheduled for Dec 8th, 2007)
Harris - Got starched by Maussa otherwise could have been an opponent for Hatton after Tszyu
Forbes - Ricky's sparring partner?
Mitchell - Decent option
Is that easier to grasp?Comment

Kostya was considered to be at the top of his game, the top of his division and nearly the top of the p4p rankings right up until the 11th round against Hatton. Hatton was given no chance at all of defeating Tszyu by almost every pundit. In fact he had fewer people tipping him to win then than he does against Mayweather in December. After the fight Hatton's win was being discredited by people who for some reason have a vested interest in discrediting Ricky Hatton, but even so there are very few respected commentators who refer to the victory over Kostya as anything but stunning.Bull**** !
KT was 36 , came off 3 rnds in over 2 yrs , had shoulder surgery and injurys for prior 18 mths ,, was talkng of retirement prior ,,, I saw him spar 3 weeks earlier and he looked not good ,,,,, KT at the time Rick fought him was faded and at the end of his career .
Suggesting that Tszyu was over the hill when he fought Hatton is rewriting history.
If you're a fan of Floyd Mayweather it's in your interests to accept Hatton's ability. He's a world class fighter at the top of his game. If you can't see the benefit of accepting that then you're really not even a fan of Mayweather, you just want to gloat.

Even in big letters its still absolute bull**** !Tszyu - Hatton beat Tszyu while Tszyu was by all accounts at the top of his game. Tszyu mecame "spent" after he had lost, not before.Comment

Hatton didn't beat Tszyu? Wow.Comment

Soooo, Forbes has been a sparring partner for ten years.
Vivian Harris lost to maussa every year for ten years.
Arturo Gatti was losing to Baldomir for ten years.
Witter was two levels below, but 40 yr old Vince Phillips and 38 year old Freddie Pendleton (25 LOSSES) was acceptable. Thanks for that perspective.
