    Yes he is. By the HOF standards, he should get in.

    There is no question Hatton is going to the hall based on his career! There is really no need for debate because its inevitable.

    Yes, I think Haton will make the hall of fame. No, I do not think he was an all time top 10 great at jr welter or welter.

    The question is whether he deserves to be in there, not if he will get in!
    He will get in but he is not a hall of fame fighter!:patsch

    I think if he gets in he is a hall of fame fighter :)

    In all seriousness though i think he is a hall of fame fighter IMO. He is someome who defended his belts many times against good opponents and fought outside of his home turf to take on the best and won titles at 2 weight divisions (albeit yes i know the Collazo one coulda gone each way, but it didn't) and only fell short to the best.

    That is deserving of the HOF.

    Lol...He doesn't deserve to get in? Why not? Because he only was a 5 or 6 time world champ? Because he was the 140 lbs champ and dominated? Some "boxing fans" kill me! He's not an ATG but you don't need to be a legend to make the Hall, just a really good champion and Rick was!

    I'm not voting because there is not an acceptable option. No where close to being HOF should be any option, I would select that.

    Why in the hell was he a good champion? Who did he defend against, Maussa? Are you serious. Lazcano. LOL. URango when he was extremely raw? LOL. The man was a joke of a champion just like Calslappy.

    Yes, he's already done more than some in there.
