    I think the reason he's rated so high is because he wasn't so favored coming into any of those fights save the Clottey one. I'd love to see him try Mayweather to see where his skills really stand since he's at the point where they're propping him up to be "the best". Maybe a fight with Mosley too depending on how Mosley does against Mayweather. We don't know what age has done to him yet.

    Uh no. Giving an ATG a good fight twice doesn't make you an ATG.

    Pac was favored against Hatton, Cotto, and Clottey.

    He just did better than expected.

    You are one dumb imbecile if you think Hatton has china chin.

    Watch his fight with one of the hardest hitter ever at 140 Tszyu, he took many of Tszyu's punches and did not go down.

    Hatton was completely shot when Manny PED'd him in the jaw.

    the shot that hit hatton will ko practically anyone @ 140. that was a solid picture perfect punch.
