He stepped up and tried to fight the best 2 fighters of his generation when he could have stayed home and beat nobodys. He deserves respect.
Hatton was a good boxer, He fought some good names, But the best fights of his career happened to late in my opinion, If he had fought Pacquaio and PBF earlier in his career instead of fighting WBU cans and shot to bits fighters like Castillo, Tsyzu he would have done better. But alot of that was down to Frank Warren, So you can hold that against him. That being said the Cocaine, weight issues dont help his legacy. Overall a good boxer.
I like Hatton as well man .He's a laugh as well .Remember the post Mayweather press .I was doing alright till I slipped. That was hillarious because of the ringpost .He's got his new sparring partners in for Floyd .Forrest Gump and Carl Lewis . [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XX695yh9FU[/ame]
Always remember the Hatton Mayweather build up as well .That was quality .All the press conferences and the 24/7
