    After being brutally KO'd by Manny Pacquiao how will Hatton be viewed?
    Hatton was known as a solid opponent, undisputed king of 140lb with only 1 loss against ATG Mayweather Jr. He had a few lack-luster performances but still managed to win and was still pretty highly regarded. After being KO'd so quickly & easily by a naturally smaller man, how do you think people will now veiw Ricky Hatton?

    He`ll be remembered as a beer and chips fighter who was a little over hyped whose only best wins were against faded Kostya Tszyu and Lius Castillo and he was lucky then.

    Good but not Great, and a legit World Champion.

    He has nothing left to prove and he can retire in peace now.

    I wouldn't be so sure about that anymore...Bradley would have a decent chance of outworking him, I think.

    Those two losses have severely damaged his reputation imo. People thought Tszyu was past his best when Hatton beat him. Now that point of view will be exasperated even more.
