If Hatton loses to Manny,

ATG status?

He is a long way from it. He is a definate HOFer but beating a past prime version of Kostya does not even go close to being enough. Given that his division is not very strong and he is shown that he is not capable of moving up to 147 and beating the top guys, I don't think there is any way he will ever get to be an ATG.

Hell No. He will never be a ATG, unless he beats Pacquaio,Cotto,Margarito and beat Mayweather twice, and that aint happening.

Hmm, I mean he has already proved to be a great fighter for what he has achieved, I mean winning even just one world title is a fantastic achievement in my book. But I am unsure about him going up with the top 50 All Time Greats... I'm not sure if he will make it there.

If he loses to Manny, I really aint sure what he would have to do to get an achievement like that.

I agree, but something tells me the whole UK would beg to differ.

He hasn't got the fighters available to be ATG.

The top four of his generation (RJJ, BHop, PBF, Pac) are not shoe in for ATG, lets see in ten years how each are judged.

If you had asked 10 years ago is tyson ATG significantly more would have said yes than they do now, time tends to take the nuthugging out of the situation and you get a more realistic viewing of boxer imo.

I think all four will be in but I think they will be lower than people put them now probably.

I'm a HUGE Hatton fan but he's not even close to ATG.
