    Besides PBF has Hatton fought a "GREAT" fighter?

    Tszyu or no one.

    Kostya only had one loss at that point though, and was P4P #3.

      Tszyu actually said he was the best shape in his life before the Hatton fight, Tszyu could've been 28 and still would've lost to Hatton in UK.

        Tzsyu, Castillo and Collazo are the big ones.

        But even in the 9th round against PBF the HBO commentator said,

        'When Hatton gets to fight the way he wants to fight in patches, he gets the better of it'

        But the ref wouldn't let him fight his fight.

          Tzsyu & Castillo are both great fighters. Hatton KOd both of them. He landed brutal bodyshots on both that basically finished their careers. But when he fought PBFM he was beat at his own game by another great fighter. Hattons corner was seen throwing in the towel as he laid on the canvas at the end of the fight.

            He beat Castillo, who should have beaten Floyd. Castillo landed more punches against Floyd, more power shots, tossed more punches and had a higher connect percentage. He was cheated against Floyd.

            Hatton stopped him.

            Hatton is a really great fighter, Floyd's style is just to much for him. Styles make fights.

                He fought great fighters, three of them. Mayweather beat him and he beat an AGING Kostya Tszyu and a BASICALLY shot Castillo.

                He still has plenty of time to rebuild a bit of his career though. He could help make 140 slightly exciting. Malignaggi, Hatton, Hopkins, Torres, Holt, Witter, Juan Diaz at any moment. Things could be A LOT worse.

                  That's not altogether the story though. You can flick out hundred ****ty jabs in a fight and land them all and your opponent can throw half as many that were effective and still win.

                  Floyd won the first JCC fight easy. All the judges had him winning by miles (4 and 5 rounds) and so did TV. The JCC/Mayweather first scrap is just a crap argument Floyd haters use to pull him down. He never lost that fight at all.

                    Tszyu was rated P4P number 3.
