    Yeah he is an elite fighter. He's the man in his decision being the lineal champ, undefeated at 140 & a top 10 p4p fighter.

    Well this is surprising but in hindsight I hope people keep this poll in mind. Hatton is a good fighter but in my eyes not elite. If it wasn't for the big size difference, I wouldn't be excited about Pac vs Hatton at all.

    that don't mean anything the last thing to go with boxers is power, and tzyu was prob still good enough to beat most fighters, but dont tell me a 35 year old fighter doesn't loose his speed reflexes or stamina. a prime tszyu beats hatton

    'was prob still good enough to beat most fighters' well there you go then.

    You've basically just admitted it was a good win.

    he is top of 140, but not convincingly, he beat the weakest link in malignaggi so for me he still has to fight desert storm,
    elite??????? i voted yes but could have gone the other way

    shows how delusional hatton fans are when they think Hatton beat a prime tszyu. are you guys realy saying that hatton is a better fighter than zoo. if so shouldn't he have went staight to p4p no 3 in the world. the ring didn't put him their because they know the deal.

    the guy was ranked number 2 in the division. Some ****ing weak link, he just couldn't adapt to Hattons style simple as. Everyone was saying Paulie would do this and that to Hattons face.. now he's a 'weak link' ffs.. no credit here whatsoever.
