    He's #1 in his division and for me that makes him an elite fighter. It's not like it's an overly weak division or something.

    So that said I think ppl not saying he's an elite either have an oodly high benchmark for some terms like elite and great, or they just won't accept it.

      Im not quite sure what Elite means. But Hatton i would imagine is still top ten p4p by the skin of his teeth so yes he is an so called elite competitor if you can call it that.

      He was even stevens with PBF until PBF ran slight ly away with the help of the judges. ANd PBF is i heard an elite boxer. So until someone destroys Hatton, Hatton will be considered one like PBF.

      I just read Miks description of elite, so yes unanimous decision is that Hatton is still elite.

        I believe he WAS an elite, he's been looking terrible lately maybe his bad habits outside the ring are finally catching up to him.

          Elite is used for PBF, Pacman, Calzaghe people that have earned that status. Hatton with 1 elite win does not make him elite. He and Margarito need more wins against more good opposition.

              Hatton is an overhyped bum who made a name for himself by picking and choosing carefully selected opponents. He was exposed as a fraud by Floyd Mayweather and I wouldn't be surprised if Malignaggi schools him in his next fight...
