I think Hatton may be a little overrated.

    Castillio is better than anything else in 06/07, who you going to put above him? Harris? don't make me laugh.

    malinaggi was better than anothing in the Division in 08, who else is above malinaggi? Holt or Torres maybe, Rees? I mean seriously who is he avoiding?

    if you bring up Junior "****ter" Witter i'll laugh in your face, the guys a Joke battered by the first talented boxer he stepped up against, hatton would have him out of there inside 4 rounds, Witter is on the Stewart/Oilivera level of fighters, look at his resume, the one good performance in his entire career was against Harris and he got KTFO by Maussa!
    tzsyu fought twice in a yr and a half span. let alone fought ricky at 1 in the morning.

    castillo bro are you serious. he was a seriously shot fighter just fighting for the money.

    malinaggi who has he fought? ndou!! the same ndou who got his ass kicked by witter

    just so you can laugh in my face i will bring up witter. hahha if you put him in the same sentence with stewart and olivera your crazy. ive noticed a lot of people in the UK have a lot of harse words to say about witter. can i ask why

      Because we Brits have had to watch him **** fights and god awful performances, then listen to him run his mouth.



      Remember that famous clip? he was fighting Alan fcuking Temple and he was 3-1 down against a guy 12-13.

      "i'm the best light welterweight in the world" Fcuking prick.

        As a proud Englishman who loves American boxers in general and who is not biased in his analysis of boxers' skills, I have to admit that some of my fellow countrymen do over-rate the world champion Ricky Hatton.

        Maybe they do it because he is such a nice guy and does a huge amount for charity etc.; I don't know.

        However, his resume is not that bad. He TKO'd Castillo (a man who has been a world champion in several weight divisions, has defeated Junior Witter and who has never been knocked to the canvas) after moving up a weight division to defeat Collazo and before that he beat the great Kosta Tszyu.

            Hatton was overrated until Floyd knocked him out, he was then very underrated... he's probably just little underated from his true worth at the mo' imo...

            He's perhaps one of the few big boxers rated around his actual real level at the mo' - for the time being anyway.

              It sure is funny how it is conveniently forgotten that half the people on this board picked Castillo to beat Ricky. And Ndou didn't get his ass kicked by Witter. It was a competitive fight.

                Witter looks like he's off to sweep the roads in that jacket.

                  To be fair, the vast majority of the people on this board said that Ricky Hatton would get his arse kicked by the speedy, Brooklyn hard man Paulie Malignaggi.

                    35% did. The surprising thing about that fight is that hatton outboxed Paulie, I don't think anyone expected that.

                    After the overhand right in round two, Paulie wanted nothing more of that fight and just wanted to protect himself from then on.

                      I think the commentry on the castillio fight has influenced alot of the Castillio is shot thinking, I think it was lampray said Castillio was shot and took a knee cos he was only there for the money.

                      Then it turned out Hatton busted four of his ribs.
