He over achieved IMO, still a great guy that earned it though.

Hatton had great skills but used them less and less after Tszyu.

Disagree. Imagine if you step up in the ring and you have to put it up against ricky hatton. Man that dude is a ragging bull. Only lost to p4p kings. Great fighter altough.

Disagree. He's not nearly a "bum" on any level.

He did "over-achieve" however, and that was due to his shrewd management and promotional team.

Completely disagree, you don't become a unified/lineal champ at 140 and titlist at 147 who went undefeated after beating several champions.

Whose only defeats are to the two best fighters in the world at any weight. You can only get so far with only heart and no skills, Hatton had good skills and a great heart. He over achieved certainly but thats just a testament to him.

I'd say it was more a testament to Frank Warren

he lost twice to fighters who are considered by most as atgs.

was a linear champ at 140. he had decent skills and had a respectable career to say the least.

GYGB Ep 6 - Hatton...

its a bit harsh, heart of a warrior is true, he layed it all on the line against the best when he could have stayed at home and took mandatory after mandatory. he is not a boxer, hes a brawler, and he showed against tszyu that brawling can be a under rated skill.

Everyone has awesome signatures

i wish I could have one of Collazo or Chris John.

I agree and disagree with it, he does has a heart of a champion, but he went far beyond what he could handle.
