Originally posted by 4CornersKid View PostHatton did beat Kostya Tszyu when he was the #1 JWW in the world and won titles in 2 weight classes. Was the RING Champ at 140 for 4 years. Beat Tszyu (in the HOF), Collazo, Urango, Lazcano, and Malingaggi. Had other wins over Maussa and Stewart. If you seriously compare the resume's of Tszyu (who's in) to Corrales-Castillo-Genaro-Hatton, it's very similar.
Hatton only failed against the top fighters from that era. It's very similar to Floyd Patterson when he fought at HW. Patterson was the man until he ran, just failed in his biggest fights (Liston and Ali). Patterson has Archie Moore, Roy Harris, Ingemar Johansson, Tom McNeeley, Eddie Machen, Henry Cooper, and Oscar Bonavena on his resume. Solid but failed in his biggest fights.

Originally posted by straightleft View PostFloyd didnt beat the 140 Hatton who beat Tszyu at 140 and ring champ for 4 years at 140. Floyd beat Hatton at 147 who did nothing much in this weight division. So even if Hatton became a HOF fighter later on, Floyd win against bloated 147 Hatton will prove nothing.

Originally posted by straightleft View PostWell, which one is the better win?
After the Oscar fight at 147, Pac moved down to 140 and ko Hatton in 2 or Floyd ko 10 Hatton in Floyds own weight division 147?
Now the question is who had the better win?

Originally posted by straightleft View PostYou may wonder why Hatton retired after the Pac fight and so did Oscar? Because Pac gave them an ending career beating. Floyd cant do it in the course of 22 rounds while Pac did it in the matters of just 10 rounds.
