Where does Ricky Hatton rank among the all time best JWWs?

[dans]

Much is said about how Ricky Hatton never quite lived up to his billing, but accomplishments wise he can still be considered one of the best JWWs of all time. Going by boxrec's points system (which I feel is underrated), if Hatton retired today he would be the 5th best JWW of all time with 844 points, just ahead of Kostya Tszyu, and right behind Antonio Cervantes.

You guys are tripping. Take the man for what he accomplished, not your perception of him. Here's boxingscene's top 20. They have Ricky 8th. http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=18632

pryor and tszyu are two guys who have done more in that division and therefore should be ranked higher on the lists imo.

i just think there was alot of hot air about hatton, looking back its hard to see what people were so excited about. hindsight is 20/20 but does anyone really think that prime for prime hatton would have done well against sweet pea, duran, tszyu, chavez, pryor, arguello etc.

imo he might squeeze into the top 10 but i dont think he should be ranked in the top 5 by anyone.

I just have a difficult time rating him above Antonio Cervantes, Aaron Pryor, Nicolino Locche, Julio Cesar Chavez, Kostya Tszyu, Barney Ross, Tony Canzoneri, Jack "Kid" Berg, Eddie Perkins, Duilio Loi, Wilfred Benitez, etc. The likes of Henry Armstrong and Jose Napoles could very well be rated at 140 as well since they weighed in between 135-140 for many of his fights.
