With a win, does Hatton become one of the all-time greats?

[THe TRiNiTY]

I'd say "no." However, he's a HUGE step closer.

[moy22487]

i say no. it will make a better case for him. his biggest wins are againts Castillo, kastya and if he beats floyd(big if).
i wont say anything about castillo being a shot fighter because the record books will only show what matters and thats the W.
beating floyd will put him closer. maybe top 50 all time greats

[rambov]

Yes, if Ricky beats Floyd then he is that good! plain and simple. No one else has come close and people almost get ******s when Floyd gets hit once!

So yes. If Ricky can do what nobody else could, then I would say that he is a GOAT.

[THe TRiNiTY]

If floyds the best,and he beats him...how he does it does'nt matter....he'll no longer be p4p and Ricky will be guarenteed to be one of the all time greats.

Not true. If he wins a dubious decision, then it's really not even an issue. Furthermore, this would be the second great fighter he beat. The all time greats have more than one or two GREAT names on their ledgers. Kostya Tszyu and Mayweather would be a great start. (Not to mention th TRUE title at 140 and 147 at the same time)

british fighters will get more respect, I'll tell you that much

Not from me. Unless more of them start fighting the best fighters in the WORLD and not just those willing to go to Britian.

[hotshoes]

yes.if he beats floyd yes.

and thats a very big IF my friend

[baya]

no.

ATG - is reserved for, well, ATG's.

he'd have to beat floyd, cotto and and another REAL threat i suppose.

[kayjay]

It would make him a legend, though we'll always be able to say Floyd was just a good style matchup for him. Cotto, DLH, etc., would be tougher for him.

[Wiley Hyena]

nope.......not in my eyes
he would then have to challege,
dlh, cotto, pacquiao or diaz @ 140 win or lose,
if he fight these oppoents after floyd, no question

Then you really have a low opinion of Floyd. That makes sense.
