    Really? So i guess Pac beating Hatton doesn't deserve credit huh? And what if Pac loses? Does this mean that Pac aint good enough to be called elite?

    Hatton is elite, his only loss came from PBF:deal and that was at 147lbs giving away his advantages.

    hey moron beating a 35 year old injury riddled tszyu is not elite. he is the best at 140 but that division sucks big time and we can all agree on that.

    Yeah such a long time, about 6 months before Hatton he's just KO'd Mitchell in 3.

    Try again.

    If Hatton isn't an elite fighter, why does Pac want to fight him?.....surely you are not accusing the little Pinoy of cherry picking are you? :yep

    He is the linear champion at 140...a top ten ranked P4Per.

    Of course he is elite. :patsch

    Everyone is now downplaying Hattons credentials as Pac has now thrown a spanner in the works. So if Pac - Hatton doesn't come off... ahh well it doesn't matter Hatton didn't deserve it anyway. Instead of Pac and his team are just being greedy.

    Its funny watching Pac fans trying to justify this.

    fighters with styles like tszyu obviously deteriorate faster than a fighter with a style like Hopkins. Hopkins is saavy and his style revolves around not getting hit. you telling me a 35 year old tszyu is better than a young hungry 28 year old tszyu. please!

    Thread starter is frantically creating as many aliases as possible to try to retrieve the position. Look out for a raft of "No" votes from members, all signed up today :yep

    6 months prior to the Hatton fight Tszyu KO'd Mitchell in 3. Do I have to repeat that? His age isn't in question here.

    Tszyu had trouble with styles like Hattons, both his losses were to people like this.

    Course he's elite, he's one of the few undisputed champions in the sport. Too much hate from too many jealous yanks.
