Right. At the end of the day, if I had to take my chances as a fighter, I'd pick being multi-dimensional as apposed to one-dimensional.
And there is PLENTY wrong with being limited. Nonetheless, it wouldn't make me hate anyone. But, it can ruin your career, get you hurt, also make you just get embarressed with an unknown fighter. All of which is bad/wrong.
Limited fighters can become great, I never denied that it can happen. However, you compare to two great fighters from the same division, throughout history. One is limited and the other is an all around fighter. The all around fighter beats the limited fighter.
Some Hatton fans make it like he's unbeatable at 140, all time. He's not even unbeatable at 140, right now.
His fans as you can tell, also annoy the hell out of me.
Nonetheless, I enjoy watching him fight. Fun at his best, decent at his worst. Nothing wrong with that.Comment

You admit that he is a rather limited fighter? At 45-1,a two time 140lb champion,lineal 140lb champion,former welterweight champion,top ten p4p fighter,and one of the biggest box office draws in the sport....If thats the mark of a limited fighter then I am sure almost every fighter to have laced on gloves would crave such limitations! LMFAO!

Maybe that's true, I believe it to be true. Tell that to his fans and British commentators. It's those type of people that ruin it for fighters like Hatton. Same reason people hate Floyd Mayweather SOMETIMES gets hatred for his fans antics.
Margarito might be an even better advantage.Comment

I have noticed on this board that everyone seems to either proclaim their dislike towards Hatton, or simply hide it behind comments and disrespectful posts.
EVERYONE? Are you paranoid? Blind? Hatton has a good amont of supporters here.
Nobody on here gives Hatton credit for anything.
Nobody?
Hatton is a good fighter and would not be in the situation hes in right now if he wasnt. Yet nobody seems to think hes done anything of any worth.
Nobody?
He has only lost ONCE to the best P4P fighter at that time, and he was actually not THAT bad if you watch the fight again - he just got aggravated by the ref, lost his cool and it cost him the fight.
Hatton wasn't that good bro.
Prior to the Malignaggi fight, people on here were questioning whether or not Hatton would win, and many people on here thought that Malignaggi would win. Yet after the fight when Hatton destroyed him, NOBODY gave him credit for the win.
Nobody? You're wrong. I picked Haton to smash Malignaggi all over the ring, which is what he did.
Malignaggi was a much tougher opponent than ODLH was when he fought Pac, and yet people give Pacquiao more credit for that win, even though Hatton could easily have beaten that Oscar - heck even Amir Khan could have beaten that Oscar.
The difference is, Pacquiao was supposed to lose that fight, and probably by KO, according to 90% of the boxing community. Again, I picked Pac to beat Oscar up. It's easy to pull down a victory after the fact, but did you pick Pacquiao to beat Oscar? I bet you probably didn't. It's a great win and it was an awesome performance. End of.
I also saw an improvement in Hattons boxing ability in his last fight, more jabs, head movement, faster etc, and also if you watch the fight he didnt do hardly ANY hugging. Malignaggi was the one hugging Hatton so as not to go down. YET people on here dont see this, and still think that Hatton is the same old boxer, who hugs all the time, cant box etc.
I saw him being a little more patient. That's a good thing, and the only real improvement I saw. he didn't need to hold because he was fightng a lettuce.
Hatton IS stronger than Pac as well. I have seen people on here say that Pacquiao is stronger than Hatton, which is just not true.
How do you know he is stronger? Have you been in the ring with Hatton and Pacquiao? There is absolutely no proof whatsoever that Hatton is stronger. People assume he is stronger because he has fought at 140 forever and Pacquiao came up from the lower divisions. And basically, strength does not win fights, skill does.
There is hardly any difference in their size and measurements, but Hatton IS the harder puncher, and you can tell this from watching their fights, and the amount of KOs Hattons had in comparison to Pacquiao, as opposed to TKOs.
Sorry, this is garbage. "You can tell from watching their fights"? That's ridiculous. Let's not get into KO ratio's again. We've been through this all too often before and there's a 1.6% difference between the two.
Pacquiao will not trouble Hatton until the later rounds in their fight, as Hatton is very tough and will only wear down from an accumulation of punches. However, all Hatton needs to do is to land a few solid punches on Pacquiao early on and its lights out for Pac.
Who are you, Mystic Meg?
You are a COMPLETE FOOL if you think Pacquiao will not get hit in this fight. Even Oscar managed to hit Pac, and HURT him in the process.
No, he didn't. Oscar didn't win a single minute of any round. Oscar claims to have hurt Pac, but we all know he's bull****ting. Pull the other one, Oscar. You are a COMPLETE FOOL if you think Oscar hurt Pacquiao.
Hatton IS improved under Floyd Snr as well, and so you can guarantee that Hatton will be hit less and be able to cut off the ring and resultantly hit Pac more often. I know im the only one that thinks Hatton will win quite easily, but thats the only way I see this fight going.
Hatton fought Malignaggi -- a fighter he could walk right through because he was unable to be hurt. This is no sign that Hatton is improved, although yeah, he might have improved a little. It's too hard to tell anything from the Malignaggi fight.
I know I'm going to get flamed to death for my opinions, but I don't care at all to be honest.
Nah, you're entitled to your opinion. You seem a bit angry, though. Don't get too sensitive about it man.
So, anyways, why does everyone on here appear blind to the achievements and abilities of Hatton?
They're not. Don't tar EVERYONE with the same brush. It ain't cool to generalize.

As for the bold, Arturo Gatti was a big draw. He's a limited fighter, too.You admit that he is a rather limited fighter?

Once again, I didn't say that a limited fighter couldn't be great. If you read all my replies, you would see that I said just the opposite. Nonetheless, nothing you mentioned has ANYTHING to do with his style of fighting. It means he's been successful within his limitations. Nothing more, nothing less.
He has a mauling style, CAN box FAIRLY decently, has very good footwork, decent speed, an OKay chin for the most part and a good body attack.
His defense can be lacking, cuts and bruises too easily, jumps in when he's going in on the attacks, doesn't adapt well when being confronted with a problem within a fight, MOST OF THE TIME.
Sounds pretty limited to me. Honestly, I'd prefer to just say he can agree to disagree. Because you sound like the type that will never admit he has any flaw, ever. At all. And I see this conversation getting pointless.Comment
