    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!'"

    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
    Second that!!

      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.
