    1) Overrated because of HOW he lost to the best. Again, running into a ringpost (I have posted this before) after being check hooked is a pretty embarrassing way to go down.
    2) Dunno where I stand on that.
    3) If it was hype, by your admission, then someone, somewhere overrated hatton since you are lording it over Airforce that he lost money.

    By a lot of counts, hatton was not favored to win, but he was overrated. He overrated himself, most of the British fans and 'pundits' (save one Brit) overrated him and even some people not native to Great Britain overrated him. If he had gone 12 rounds you might have a sound arguement, but he lost in a way that made him look even worse than when he lost to Floyd. He was 'brimming with confidence' to the point where he petitioned people to mortgage their houses and empty their banks and bet it on him. That's not overrating? What is overrating a fighter, then?
    Hatton is overrated by Hatton fanboys, and hated by Hatton detractors. I'm not in either of those groups and do not take their opinions seriously.

    Most British fans don't overrate Hatton. That is a terrible generalisation if ever I have seen one. Most of the boxing fans in the casino I watched the fight at, believed Hatton had very little chance, but they cheered him on anyway.
