    I'm sorry, I'd like a quote where somebody has stated Hatton beat prime Tzsyu.

    Your ******ed, you lose an argument, then start to make things up.

    Hatton is elite. One loss to Floyd Mayweather does not mean a fighter is bad.

    That's kind of dumb; it doesn't have to be an 'either-or' situation. I think a fair definition of 'elite' is the 10 best fighters in the world, and for my money Hatton isn't one of them.

    so you agree his only one victory against a hall of famer was over the hill. you are the ****** i havent insulted anyone i have just tried to debate. you just fall into the hooligan dimwitted category that is stereotypical towards hatton fans. hope you are proud:hi:

    No, but to my way of thinking 10 best fighters based on quality and quantity of achievements is a fair way of deciding elite, and by that standard Hatton just misses out.

    It's impressive for sure, but I don't think being #1 in a weak division automatically makes one an elite fighter. Think Kelly Pavlik.

    calzaghe career has been protected for a long while. he has not been fighting the greatest opposition so ring deterioaration has not affected him as much.

    OMG, that has nothing to do with anything you total tool.

    People just cope with age better than others, in a physical and mental respect, jesus, I can't believe how stupid you are.
