    I`m shocked by the high regard Hatton is held in by a lot of users of tis forum, I never considered him an elite fighter, was he ever one of the P4P best fighters in the world at any stage and did he ever crack the ring mag`s top 10 P4P ratings?

    Yes, he was at #4 after beating Tszyu and remained in the top 10 until his loss to Pacquaio.

    That's crazy. Beating men past their prime shouldn't be given so much credit.

    It may have made more sense at the time. But yeah, it does look a bit odd for him to be ahead of Pac, Morales and both Marquez brothers on a p4p list.

    He was a huge underdog against Tszyu ...who himself was # 3 in the world at one time...he deserved credit for pulling off the upset

    To be fair, tszyu still looked like a beast before ricky beat his balls like a drum and made him quit

    P4P top 10 rankings are actually very real and other posters have already given Mark a comprehensive list of what he was seeking. I'm sure he will greatly appreciate your contribution tho.

    It’s impossible to know, when fighters are different weights. It doesn’t make sense. He specifically referred to some magazine writers - who cares? Subjective nonsense.

    At no point did Ricky Hatton have some of the best boxing ability in the world.
