    FOUR Ring Mag fights of the year, champion in 3 weight classes, fought EVERYBODY he could, a ton of fans win or lose.....I think that sounds like a hall of fame fighter.

      If he dominates 140 again.

      He is HOF'er.

      He would have owned that division. If doesn't, I don't think he is.

      Tszyu was a great fighter.

      Castillo was a shadow of himself but still a good win.

      Collazo is a good win but it was probably a draw.

      Urango,Maussa,Tackie,Magee and Phillips and Olivera are solid wins. But then there is alot of crap. He wasted his best years on reflection blasting out **** fighters in WBU title fights

        Haha like witter,malignaggi, torres, holt----these four all beat hatton in a fight....all the belt buls**** aside who has he beat

        -Kosta tszyu (lets not forget how busy and sharp KT kept himself prior to this fight)
        -JLC (a joke at that point in his career)
        -Urango (i cant even say his name w/o smiling)

        If HOF voters count popularity then fine he is one but they dont and with him talking about 3 more fights then he is done he needs a lot more big wins b4 he is worthy for HOF consideration.

          I know he got the fighter of the year award the year he beat Tzu but what are the 4 fights which got Ring Mag fight of the year? Also what are the 3 weight classes in which he is champion at?

          He is a 140lb champion and a 147lb titlist. What is the 3rd weight class in which he won a title let alone a championship.

          BTW with the HOF's low standards yeah Hatton is HOF worthy but he has a very weak resume.

                  Before we even discuss Hatton do you even know WHO is in the HOF?

                  I suspect you dont, or you wouldnt have started this thread

                      LOL @ all these idiots who think the HOF is only for All-Time Greats or something.

                      Get your facts straight before posting bull****, please
