You can minimise anyone's record that way if you want to. I've even seen similar posts about Pacquiao's and Marquez's records. It's called being a hater.
Fact is, he's beaten two fighters who were rated in the P4P top 10 at the time that they fought him. Castillo was rated #9 when they fought, Tszyu was rated #3. No one called either of them shot until after Hatton beat them.
Every one of Hatton's defences was against a fighter rated in The Ring's top 10 at the weight at the time that they fought him.
Two of his defences were against The Ring's #1 rated contender at the time they fought him.
He KO'd Maussa, and won most of the rounds in that fight.
He beat Collazo according to the scorecards, whether you agree with the decision or not; that fight was not in his weight division; and he does not carry his power up to Welterweight.
There is no shame in losing to the #1 P4P fighter, and it wasn't at Jnr. Welterweight in any case.
He won 10 out of 12 rounds against Lazcano, which is hardly struggling - you can reasonably say he didn't look good in that fight, but to say he struggled is ridiculous. Furthermore he fought so far below his normal standards in that fight that he sacked his trainer as a direct result and hired Mayweather Snr.
A lot of people thought Malignaggi would outbox him - 35% of people polled on this site thought Hatton would lose, and quite a few respected boxing writers did as well. More importantly, very few people predicted he would win as easily as he did, winning every round. Malignaggi, went the distance with Cotto, but not with Hatton.
Hatton has been The Ring and lineal champ for 4 years and is unbeaten at 140lb.
He's currently ranked #8 in The Ring's P4P list.
Pacquiao is still the strong favourite to win, but your post shows you up as being nothing more than a hater. Hatton has one of the best divisional records of any current champion, whether you like his style or not.
The irony is that Pacquiao would get no credit whatsoever for winning this fight if Hatton was as bad as you say he is.Last edited by Dave Rado; 03-03-2009, 09:16 AM.Comment

JMM is a much tougher challenge than anyone in 140 right now. He's proved how good he is.WOW!! hatton idolizes ODLH that much that he copies how oscar is picking his opponents. why dont you pick someone your own size ricky and fight those fighters in your own weight class. a real life bully alright, manny will beat your sorry little ass and sends you to retirement you bully.
Bradley? all he did was beat Junior Witter the day Witter dad died. Big accomplishmentComment

First of all, Hatton is unlikely to get past Pacman.
Second of all, even if he does, which he won't, when you've beaten the guy whom beat him and has nothing majorly different resume wise about him (in terms of divisions, belts) how is that a step up?
Hatton does like to talk bless him.Comment

I don't think Hatton is going to make it past Pacquiao, and Marquez would give him a boxing lesson, possibly a late round knockout.Comment
