    Well thats not surprising considering you dont fight any of the other good and dangerous cats at 140.....like Torres or Witter no Kendall Holt or Bardley but yes to an old old lightweight named lazacano and a featherfisted MalianaggiOh yes he was baten By Collazo and received the ultimate gift. He did beat Tzsyu and he did beat Castillo who I thought would take him out. The big was Castillo that was worth at least 15 million, I swear.

    Hatton was a world class champion no doubt about it.

    However both Mayweather and Pacman are a level above.

    Id back Urango to beat any of those. Just my opinion of course.

    I wouldn't. Rabah made Urango look plodding and limited. I can't believe the judges gave it to Urango.

    That fight was ages ago and Urango has improved lots since then.

    By the way, that fight looked prety close to me... not saying that Urango actually deserved the win, but if you get past the biased commentary you'll find that both landed about the same limited amount of punches in every round. Some fans need to learn to tune out the commentating and quit letting it interfere with the way you score fights.

    Hatton is anotch below: Mayweather and Pacquia.

    Other than that, who at 140 could you say is a solid lock at beating him? Sure, you could say it now after he was demolished in two rounds by Pacquia, but before that, it was a certainty that he was THE man at 140.

    That isnt a bad resume at all considering the losses.

    :good

    Very close fight that could have gone either way. Like you say Urango has improved a hell of a lot since then, and that Hatton win over him, which was pretty wide, actually looks a decent win now.

    Be interesting to see how well Berto copes with him up at 147.

    Rafael you are a pure hater, I'd be interested to see which fighters you rate as I bet I could pick apart their resume in a similar way.

    Looking at the records of Pacman and Mayweather they are late 20th/ early 21st century greats, while Hatton has beaten ordinary fighters and fading greats... While Hatton did take a risk fighting at welter, he is just the best of the rest, he will probably seen as one of the best of the British...

    Class champion, just didn't have the tools or the brain to deal with the 'P4P'

    No, I think hes just using his limited boxing knowledge and even more limited IQ to discredit Hattons career!

    Spot on, he was THE world's best at 140lbs from the moment he beat Tszyu until the moment he lost to Pacquiao.

    3 years and 11 months as the best!
