Just been watching hattons greatest hits. Hattons UK popularity was off the scale and he delivered some fantastic nights of boxing, culminating in that legendary night against kostya tzyzu. Hatton was the most popular fighter in a period where UK boxing scene was not of the standing that is today.
Although the hitman has fallen on hard times recently, he will be remembered as a great in the UK. In his prime, only mayweather and pacquiao were able to best him, two P4P level fighters and two of the best fighters of the 21st century.
So, how would prime ricky hatton have got on against the current welterweight crop? And how do people rate rickys career in general, was he an elite fighter? What grade would people give him in his prime?
