    In Conclusion Hatton had no skills.
    He did pretty well with no skills, i mean you've got no skills and haven't achieved 1% of what Hatton has.

      Him and Randy Couture have a similar style of boxing.

        Btw the way it was mayweather who fought dirty in the fight, pushing his head down and forcing his forearms into ricky's face. He did it the whole fight.
        I'm sorry if i upset you so much. I'm English and thought Hatton was overrated. Great fan base yes. I won a lot of money in work when Hatton fought Mayweather and Pacman. Hatton was good at what he did, Elite no way. He got exposed and i won a lot of money. No hard feelings.

          I don't think anyone overrated him. He has the best loyal fans in the world, who will always think he can win any fight. If anyone overrated him it was the yanks trying to promote the fight and make $$$. I think most boxing experts and hardcore fans knew mayweather and pacquiao were better boxers and would beat him. But give credit where credit is due, he stepped up in weight to fight floyd and then took on the p4p king. No need to slag him off. Everbody including himself would admit he's a brawler, that is why so many people love him. Just letting you know your the minority and as a brit a disloyal one.

            He was the #1 fighter at 140 for 4 years that automatically makes him elite.

              You don't beat a guy like kostya tszyu with no skill, this is a guy who mayweather ducked for years.

                    Hatton held a lot, but he was a tough son of a *****. He had fast hands, a bully style, quick feet. While everything he does may not be entertaining, there is skill in what he does.

                    It took me a little time to really appreciate him. He was a fun fighter when you started to see the total package that he offered.

                    It was a very brutal style of boxing.
