Whens the last time Hatton beat a world class fighter in his prime?

[RodBarker]

Quite impresive that a fighter can be number 3 on the pound for pound list when he is "way past his prime". Says a lot about the guy.

Shows alot about the rating system and how all you got to do is keep winning dont matter if its against not much ,,, KT was a very good fighter but ATG is a joke , look close at the resume it aint much and his Phillips fiasco was a joke , he never fought anybody and got beat by a journeyman and stuggled against another in Lopez and finally quit on his stool , good fighter but over rated .

So was Kostya past his prime when he lost to Vince Phillips? I think he must've been he just didn't look too good.

Same goes with Malignaggi, he must've been past his prime cause he got his butt whooped. How about Urango? He wasn't elite yet because Hatton shut him out for 12 even though it's his only loss.

How about Bhop when he lost to Taylor, he was past his prime right? He didn't look too good. Then he beats Tarver, shuts him out. Then he loses to Calzaghe and he doesn't look too good, he's past his prime again. Then he beats young Pavlik, shuts him out for 12. So is Hopkins really past his prime, cause his best victories are against Tarver, Winky and Pavlik who were all elite and prime fighter as big and even bigger than Hopkins. All three top 10 p4p fighters at the time.

I could go on and on.

The past his prime debate is absolute bull****. Just look at Toney's wins and losses.

Tszyu was in and around his prime

tszyu was like 36 at that time and yet you consider erik at 29 primed?

What's your definition of world class?

Hatton hasn't beaten any P4P elite fighters, But at least he's willing to fight them!(Mayweather and Pacquiao), unlike most fighters today, who shy away from fighting the best.

If you think Hatton is a fraud for losing to Floyd Mayweather, then you should find the nearest cliff and jump off it!

There is a line a mile long to fight Floyd and Pac for the name and the pay , once your on top everybody wants to fight you , Hatton is world class no doubt but he aint elite ,, I dont think Hatton is a fraud just not as good as he is hyped to be , when they say he is this non stop beast that dont slow and is this great body puncher I dont see it , Floyd made him look second rate in every department .

Think you got me mixed up with someone. I wrote a post explaining how Morales wasn't in his prime which I think you comented on
