In 39 fights, has Hatton fought anyone good?

[bfg]

While Hatton hasnot fought top competition, aside from Tsyzu, he is young and has plenty of time to build a legacy by fighting guys at the top now...if you carefully examine the records of most fighters these days there are more than a few fights of questionable value...Roy Jones and Hopkins are considered greats and both their records are not exactly loaded with the most challenging competition, especially considering the skilss of both fighters..Hatton has a chnace for career defining fights in the next few years..

I don't know what you're talking about. The guy is planning an early retirement.

i'm saying...........what's the point of the question........if the guy holds the title by dethroning the champ (however controversial in hatton's fashion), then he doesn't need to prove anything to anyone .....except that he has the belt!

Eamonn Magee was good and he dropped Hatton's arse. Almost beat him.

The f**K yout talking about. He only lost by like 2 rounds. Did you even watch the f**ing fight?

Hatton was not hurt in the least...the knockdown was a flash knockdown, which everyone, no matter how sturdy their chin, is susceptible to...I thought it was a great fight for Hatton since he never seemed fazed in what was a tough fight..

He was hurt. The shot was flush right on the chin, perfectly timed. The fact Hatton took recovered so well, is quite something.

That is what Hatton says but it seems unlikely that he will retire without the big fights he wants so he may stick around longer if the fights wind up being tough to put together...also, saying you will retire in three years and actually doing so are two different things...
