    Looking at your other posts, you're not kidding, huh?

    I'll break it down for you: Hatton is a good fighter, but highly flawed and most certainly not an all time great or anything close to it.

    His best wins:
    Kostya Tszyu - very good win against an old/inactive fighter
    Jose Luis Castillo - good name on his resume, but Castillo was completely shot
    Luis Collazo - controversial win against a guy most don't regard as a top 10 welterweight
    Ben Tackie - decent win in which Hatton showed versatility, electing to fight a tactical fight from a distance. But Tackie isn't a great fighter, not even close.
    Freddie Pendleton - old and shot
    Vince Phillips - old and shot
    Juan Urango - C level fighter, unimpressive performance from Hatton
    Carlos Maussa - C level fighter whose claim to fame is a freak win over Vivian Harris.

    My conclusion: Any list with Ricky Hatton as number 1 shouldn't be taken seriously (unless that list is titled "Rough-housing maulers with limited boxing skills that have somehow made their way to the P4P lists")

    And I'm a Ricky Hatton fan:good

    Thanks , i know your'e a fan of his , but another list that should have him highly is - 'top ten snakes who talk bull**** about being genuine and not being arsed about money, but who totally changed when they started making mega-bucks' - sorry of the harshness

    :lol:

    Hatton is also number 1 on the list of 'light welterweights who blow up to heavyweight in between fights'
