Ricky Hatton can beat 99% of the fighters out there, but he's treated like a bum

Good point. I don't dispute that fact.

But to me, saying Hatton is below the rest of the guys at 140 because of this lose is insane.

nah, he shouldn't be BELOW any of the other guys at 140......he'd probably still be a betting favorite against anyone not named pacquiao, mayweather, or marquez at 140.....but against the B-C level fighters there, sure he can hang.

hatton can still make some good fights against limited fighters but his elite status is over now.

cosign. it wasn't losing to manny that did him in.....it was the way he lost.

Ricky has always avoided the best at 140 and was keen to fight the P4P number ones he only ever wanted the money.

yeah, sure thing.
So aside from the fact he fought top level opposition, belt holders, or ring #1 contenders, he only fought p4p #1s for money, when he could sell out 50,000+ stadiums in England fighting me? stay away from crack man, its frying your brain

I said this on a thread the other day after the fight - Bradley, Nate, Marquez, Witter, Holt, all those guys can get at the 2008/09 Hatton.

I thought it before Saturday night, too.

he didn't land 79%. It was 57%.

He got the percentage and connect figures mixed up. Manny's connects were in the 70's.

No...Hatton does not have a good chin. Why because he took Malignaggi's punches lol He would have been down in his tune up fight against Lascanzo if it wasn't for that pathetic showing of favorism by the British ref.
He showed he cannot adapt. As soon as he was hit by manny he reverted back to his instincts which is running in with his hands up not using any defense That style doesn't work too well if you cant take punches. I still think its hilarious that people and him thought he would be p4p king by beating the p4p king at his own weight. How could you justify labeling someone that, that can't even move up 7 pounds.
And im not calling him bum, but I am calling him overrated and no I wont miss him. And you know why alot of people probably criticize him is because of his lack of discipline. Gaining 40 pounds between fights because of bad drinking habits and eating habits which is why he is a shot fighter at 30. I bet he wishes he could take that all back. He is a good fighter, but not great.
