talip, i never agree with ur post hardly...but you do have a point...i myself dont think hatton is a sure lock for the hall of fame....and he has the attitude again like the one he had going into the tzsyu fight...everybody said he "didnt belong with kosta tzsyu"....and then after he won...people said ok hes a star....then after he suffered a horrible loss to floyd, people are saying again "he doesnt belong with the pacman"....we will see
a win over MP boosts his credentials a great deal sir... i think if he wins, his bid for a place @ the HOF strengthens ten fold...
As I have said many times before now, the majority of Hatton haters will only have seen Hatton's fights from 2005-2007/early 2008, and these performances were not great - some of them pretty bad. Those who have followed Hatton throughout his career will know that he IS a great fighter, who is very difficult to beat when he performs to his best. The Malignaggi performance was refreshing as it was a return to the Hatton of old and he completely destroyed Malignaggi, who may not be a great fighter but was given more than a chance at beating Hatton by ALOT of people prior to the fight. Mayweather Snr is bringing out the best in Hatton and is completely revitalising him, so the Hatton we will see on May 2nd will seem totally different to all the Hatton haters..
u are totally correct... the tackie fight was the best version of hatton ive seen...

i agree with this as well...i think hatton cant out box pac...but i think people will be shocked how technically sound he is when it comes to the fundamentals....i think hatton just has reputation thats all
i think your wrong to some degree,Hatton is a great ambassador for the sport and hes gotta be the biggest ticket seller in combat sports !
I mean what other boxer or MMA fighter do you know that can take 30000 fans abroad to watch a fight on a hotel screen ???
God he got 56000 fans watch him fight lascano !
He fights anybody and you never feel short changed by him !
He will be a fighter long remembered when hes gone and sorely missed IMO !
i think hes been a great fighter!
Anyone who thinks a multiple belt double weight world champion who's been top 10 P4P for 5 of the last 6 years is a lucky journeyman is fcuking ******ed.
