Did Ricky Hatton deserved his 2 fights against P4P #1 boxers?

He was still moving down.

 

NO - Hatton is overrated, he shouldn't have been ranked in the Top 10 P4P

dont take my word for it watch the fights, no fellow p4per is meant to recieve to 1 sided beatdowns

pac and floyd made hatton look like a bum, simple

 

If not due to his popularity and money that he can bring he wouldn't have given a chance to dance with the p4p #1. his skills & resume can't justify his worthiness.

 

YeS

 

Dear God! Have you watched Pac-Barrera I, Forrest-Mosley I, Hopkins-Trinidad, Jones-Toney, Mayweather-Corrales? All pound for pounders and all lost far less competitive fights than Mayweather-Hatton.

I voted yes, clearly. Hatton was ranked top 8 p4p when he fought Mayweather and the clear #1 at 140. Whilst you could argue there were guys at 140 Mayweather should have been facing, we quite often see the champ at one division go straight up and face the champ at the next. If Hatton, at 43-0, linear champ and 147 title holder with 2 p4p fighters on his record isn't a deserving challenger then there aren't many who are. As for Pacquiao, he was the challenger for Hatton not vice-versa. Both guys have fought a hell of a lot of worse fighters than Ricky Hatton over the past few years, despite mixing in very good company generally.

 

I wonder when you're going to open a "Did Pacquiao deserve a shot at De La Hoya and 140 World Champion Ricky Hatton?" thread.

 

Maybe he was, but the challenger nonetheless. IMHO you're putting way too much store in this whole P4P thing. It is not, and never has been, a title which a fighter defends, an official status or anything of the sort. It is simply a subject view where one person's opinion can differ totally from another's though most people tend to use Ring ratings. My point was that both have fought for world titles over the last few years against many worse fighters than Ricky Hatton. Just as a few Baldomir, Judah, Gatti, Diaz, Solis.

Hell, you only have to go back to Diaz for Pac fighting a worse fighter whilst ranked p4p #1. Yeah, I know Diaz fight went longer, but his overall record and achievements are not on the level of Hatton's.

 

Yes.

He was clearly ill when he fought Tszyu.

Shot when he fought Mayweather.

Anyone who disagrees needs to study boxing.

 

Haven't voted because I don't like the options. I'l just say this, if all their opponents had to "deserve" a fight against either of them, they'd each have less than five names on their record.

 

Man you must really be and idiot to put Pac against Paul Williams if you are Pac manager. This is going to be one freak show haha

 

Ryan says..."hmm" is a **** lol

hmm says... coming from a disgruntled Hatton fan :|:|:|
You tell me if Hatton was or is worthy to hold the title P4P....:verysad
