Comments Thread For: Ingle: Hatton Put England on 147 Map, Now Brook Will!

The only thing that I back hatton on was that mayweather didn't fight him in 2005 at light welterweight were hatton was obviously better than at 147.

Lol on the map at 147?? If I remember he got whooped out by Collazo, got a gift and then went back down to 140. Then came back up and got ktfo by Floyd at 147. Smh

Hatton was a glorified domestic level fighter.

Hatton was good at 140, the reason he declined so badly was his out of ring lifestyle.

A boxer must remain a boxer throughout the 365 days in a year, Hatton unfortunately remained a boxer probably 180 days out of the year and spent the rest boozing and eating shit.

He is also one of the most polite mannered fan friendly fighters I have ever met, which adds to his popularity amongst the average working joe's like myself.

Yeah, that and the fact that he stopped most punches with his face!

[Nomadic]

He talking about the time he fought Floyd or Pac put him on the mat or map?

I wonder what made hatton so popular I've seen fighters with much better skill from uk that don't have the pulling power he does.

he was a white, working class drunk. he was the british everyman.

No one can come close to Hatton's popularity which once was in the Uk.

[Showtime..]

He was good at 140 but even then he ducked Witter for years and got absolutely wrecked by Pacquiao. He is overrated, with his only other big win outside of Paulie was beating a washed up Kostya.
