Paper Tiger my ass. typical bull**** being said after a fighter loses.
He was a very very good fighter, just not truely great. Does that mean every fighter thats not gonna be a top 30 ATG is ****? I dont think so.
There is a middleground between **** and greatness. Hatton fought pretty much all (bar Witter) the top fighters that he could. And he had the guts to do it outside of his own backyard. Boxing would be better of if every fighter was willing to do what he did.

Paper Tiger because of all the hype. Deflated in 2 rounds.
Then there is the terrified running from Luis Collazo who caught him bad in the twelfe round, hatton ran and held on for the rest of the fight.
As a Brit Ive seen all Hattons fights and other than the two old men of Tszyu and Castillo (took a dive imo) Hattons record is painfully average at best.
I didn't know about Hatton and KT. I'm not saying he's a bad fighter, there was so much hype, that when he fell both times in the 1st round it was like, what's going on. He caught him several times on that chin. JMM was caught, but he got up and rallied back, learned from his mistakes.
you MUST either be a new fan or playing a role because your posts lack knowledge
hattons never gonna fight on an undercard, he could still sell out the MEN arena back here in england easily. boxing is about money and hatton would still sell enough in england to easily top a bill
Agreed, Hatton would never be anything less than a main event fighter.

Must have been really tired after running for such a long period of time
Yeah cos Castillo was known as a the type of fighter to take a dive wtf? Shot hell yeah, dive, hell no.
He was much better than average, just not great.

There's no point in arguing that, he's favored and adored in England. But in the US, I believe he's fought 3 times. MAyweather, Maligininni, and Pacman. Mayweather and Pacman top in thier class. Maliginini overrated with a great promoter, that's it; he has no power.
Hats off to Hatton, but unless he makes a comeback, he's done.
I think he should fight Juan Diaz. Both just came off a loss to great fighters.
