Why was Hatton ever rated as P4P fighter ?

[Sam Donald]

Anybody who beats Kostya Tszyu is a P4P fighter.....coupled with a few more belted champs like Collazo, Mausa and Urango seals it.

Agreed and great picture of pac

Hatton was a very good fighter. He has 2 losses to elite fighters, maybe ATGs. Anybody who ****s on Hatton's career is a ****head.

[RagingTheBull]

He was and he deserved to be.

No question for me that at the time his achievements merited inclusion in the P4P list. I am not saying that he did not have limitations, but then many fighters have taken a place in that list without being the complete package. Hatton had some great wins over legitimate champions. He was a victorious challenger so often, and a two weight champion, that I don't think his inclusion in the P4P list remotely controversial.

interesting fact about Hatton

he fought and won someone else's title four fights in a row

Tszyu
Maussa
Collazo
Urango

IMO that's pretty stellar to me and could be one of the reasons why people thought of him so highly

Thats pretty impressive.

Hatton was a top 10 P4P fighter for good reason.

I hate how people overlook the fact that Hatton's only 2 losses came to

1. Prime, Undefeated, #1 P4P fighter, Champion in 5 weight classes from up to 154, Floyd Mayweather Jr

2. Prime, Unbeaten in 9-10 fights in a row, Fighter of The Decade, #1 P4P fighter, Champion in 7 weight classes, Manny Pacquiao

He lost to the two best fighters of the 2000's. Not to mention he ruled 140 for a long time. He was unbeatable at that weight class that's why he was P4P top 10. He also won a title at welterweight.

his only 2 loses were to p4p#1 guys

Hatton pre Tszyu was a really great fighter. He actually used a Jab, and with good effect. He definately stopped using his skill's after he realised he could just bully the Junior Welter division.

yes.......
