    He was a beast at 140, ridiculously srong for his size, and elite level footwork, and good hand speed. Despite being big at the weight he also had t-rex arms which meant he had to fight the way he did becuase his short arms wouldn't alow him to fight on the outside and that became more evident when he started to fight the bigger guys whom could match him for strength on the inside.
    His biggest flaw though was his lifestyle, he could've prolonged his career significantly, but then again it's what made people love him too.

          He was good enough to do us proud.

          At times it seems like he's forgotten that.

          But we haven't, and nor will we ever.

                I really didn't rate Hatton. He's adored in the UK, but, ultimately, he was face-first brawler. He never stood a chance against Mayweather; especially at 147.

                    I think Hatton was one of those fighters that was overrated by his fan base yet underrated by everyone else. Great body work, great foot work, decent hand speed, and pretty good power. Great motor and a very entertaining fighter to watch
