    Nobody said Hatton was the future of boxing. Nobody said he would beat guys like Roberto Duran (and anyone who did was either ****** or trying to hype him up, like they do with ANY top fighter). Did a few people pick him over Manny and Floyd? Sure, why not? We hadn't seen Floyd against a come forward brawler with that much heart since Castillo, and he gave him hell. Pacquiao is also a midget, and aside from that meaningless win over DLH he hadn't done anything good above 130lbs. But overall, both were favored over Hatton!

    The guy had power, heart and came forward with everything. He'd beat everyone at 140 right now aside from Khan and Bradley. So how does that make him overrated? Nobody aside from a few idiots made it seem like he was the next greatest thing. He completely dominated the JWW division for years. Cotto-Hatton would have been a great fight at 140. But he sucks because of his chin? So I guess Khan and Hearns suck too, right? No, obviously not.
    There is noway to explain it he's not..Hatton was a dangerous fight plain and simple..

      1. he clearly ducked Witter. idc about Witter losing b/c he was on top when he was calling Hatton out. Hatton refused to even speak his name.

      2. his best 2 wins are over a washed up kosta and castillo

      3. got a gift against Collazo

      4. got his ass whipped when he stepped up.

      5. he was not who you brits thought he was

        He blocked punches with his chin. He fought in a weak era against a 35 year old Tszyu and Malinaggi.

        Amir is already better than Hatton ever was.
