Oh I totally agree, and even in that fight he was very much in it.

Im not trying to knock Tszyu, Im just making the point that it didnt matter that the fight was in England, like that other poster said!!!!!!

Defintley a hof'r don't know about an atg.Take your hat off to Hatton he's supposed to be the most popular fighter from the UK ever i've read.He should be inspired by the greats I think is what they mean

This article points out the exact things which make a great fighter great and a good fighter good. Hatton is a good fighter. He had some major flaws exposed badly by a great fighter and he then did nothing about them. His next fight the same thing happened without the brutal KO, but it very nearly was and we wouldn't even be talking about Pac.

Nonetheless, the difference between these fighters is that the great one has that desperate desire to improve and fix his obvious flaws and he will come back better no matter what. Hatton has already had these pointed out to him by a better fighter, but he didn't change a thing. He will only ever be good because he doesn't want to change.

Hatton? A HOF fighter? I don't think so. You've got to be better than Hatton to make it to the HOF. Kostya Tszyu is a HOF fighter, Hatton is not. Compare their records and you'll see why.

He only defended his IBF twice, and never his WBA title. Those defenses came against some decent fighters but nothing special. To get into the HOF he would have had to beat both Pac and Mayweather. He got knocked out in both, so there is no way he's getting in to the HOF.

WITTER? you serious that dude did nothing to deserve a shot at hatton he is a punk and gave up with his fight agaisnt bradley...ya ya ya he lost by split decision but still his performance was far from amazing...who has he beat that was on a world class level? hatton fell short twice but still be tszyu, castillo, urango, (while it was a gift) he still beat callazo he is a GREAT fighter and no one can take that away from him
