“He’s a decent fighter, make no mistake. I just wouldn’t rate him with the greats, not even among British greats.”
- Patrick Myler, a British boxing historian and author Completely reasonable and true
“I think he’s a good fighter. Is he great? I don’t know if I’d say great; probably not. Hatton’s style has served him well, but, honestly, when have you watched Hatton fight and thought to yourself or said, 'Wow, what a great fighter!'"
- Al Bernstein (Showtime Championship Boxing) Completely reasonable and true
“On the night Hatton beat Tszyu, he was tremendous. One great performance. He’s floundered ever since."
- Colin Hart, the dean of British boxing writers Reasonable. Maybe some will call it a little harsh.
"Aside from Tszyu, who has he beaten?"
- Michael Rosenthal (The Ring contributor) A tad harsh. Still not entirely unreasonable
Rosenthal is too harsh, the rest of them are a bit harsh. I mean he's got a great style and he's a great pressure fighter but hes not a great fighter. He's a very good one.
