    At 140, Hatton is NOT overrated. I don't even like the guy, but I can only tell you the truth. At 147, Hatton is very overrated.

    we all know he is good strong for his weight, but his fans praise upon him qualities that do not exist. he has decent footwork and he is not a counterpuncher. if he had great footwork he would be able to box more but he doesn't. dont give me that he likes a tear up, so does pac but he uses his speed and hardly holds.

    and hatton seems to have a delusional idea that he is one of the most exciting fighters in the world. what was the last exciting fight you were in?

    People weren't complaining that Tszyu was in the p4p lists. And he only ever fought at 140

    Hatton fought at 140 and 147.. and he's not a p4p fighter?

    Hypocrites are the best.

    No "boxing" fan has said he is fighting for the P-4-P.

    Stop talking wank.














    And I hate Hatton:deal
     
  7. Obviosly guys like Pryor and Tyszu don't deserve to be ATG because they only fought at one weight ???

    The truth is there is just as much glory to be had in Dominating a division than weghthopping picking up belts then dropping them

    Yes, and the difference being?

    Obviously a Hatton "fanatic", as opposed to some of his uneducated Joe Public footie fans, is going to be a boxing fan.

    Of course, if you are refering to the uneducated bystanders (who are not Hatton fanatics; if they weren't actually into boxing it wouldn't make sense that they were a fanatical supporter of a "boxer").........then who really gives a toss, they're not boxing fans anyway.

    I don't consider Hatton overated at 140, in that weight he is class. Sorry for this simple explanation, but, if you were playing Top Trumps Boxing he would score lowly for Weight adaptability but at 140 he scores high in most departments. That, for me is why the Manny fight is so appealing. It's fantastic to achieve at different weights, Hatton did ok in the step up, others do much better.

    If you take the main haters and the main nuthuggers i think most are about agreed on Rickeee

    I agree with pretty much everyone on this thread, I don't understand how someone can come on this forum and say a guy like Hatton is overrated. Everyone who says Hatton is overrated has watched one too may Rocky films.
