    All four are deserving for me. Congratulations!

    I wonder if any Hatton fans travel over.

        All 4 were very good and had excellent careers. Hatton was a rugged fighter that had an excellent win vs Tyszu. Moorer was a dominant lhw and went on to beat Holyfield at hw. Calderon is arguably a top 2 defensive fighter of his era next to Floyd, and corrales was one of the toughest ever and had a win in arguably the greatest fight/come from behind win ever. Not sure they would’ve been considered hall of fame worthy in the past, but with Gatti, Hamed and Bradley in, a very strong argument can be made for all of them.

            No complaints about the picks. Hatton brang so much buzz about boxing in the UK just use to pack out arenas constantly and getting 10-15k fans to travel to America was just unheard off. Micheal moorer probably a all time great light heavyweight and was a solid heavyweight fighter and champion aswell and had some quality wins. Calderon probably one of the greatest straw-weights ever and was such a talented defensive fighter. Chico corrales was just what people loved about boxing aswell just excitement when he fought and he had fantastic punching power and gave the fans so much even tho he passed away at 30 boxing fans still talk about his fights especially the one with castillo.

              Rest In Power To Chico Corrales. Great Fighter Hatton Too. Can’t Remember The Last Time A UK Fighter That Was A Non-Heavyweight Have Such A Massive Buzz!
