Is Hatton's resume padded?

No

 

I think 'pretty padded' is the correct option but I was being awkward....

 

It was padded until he left warren.

 

He has a very suspect resume for the amount of professional bouts he's had.

 

Hatton has defeated, at 140, Ben Tackie, Michael Stewart, Kostya Tszyu, Carlos Maussa (post-Harris) and Jose Luis Castillo. Five contenders.

Arguably, he has done more than Wilfred Benitez at 140. Benitez only defeated Cervantez, Emiliano Villa, Tony Petronelli and Harold Weston -and I think this last fight was at 147-.

 

I am a big Hatton fan, but I voted pretty padded. This is because he fought a lot of #15-30 level fighters before moving up to the big stage with Tackie, Tszyu, Maussa, Urango and Castillo. However, having turned pro at 19 and fought pretty frequently early in his career, he had time to have those learning fights. He stepped up to win the legit title at 26, around when he should be hitting his peak years. A padded resume doesn't necessarily mean a guy can't turn out to be a hell of a fighter (ask JC Chavez or Barrera).

 

Another American who thinks that anything that happens outside their own country doesn't count?

 

WBU :deal

 

also the collazo fight was a hatton win.

collazo lost the early round until ricky tired and collazo just tried to out punch him.people might question it but hatton win the fight just not convincingly...he knew that.

 

was a very close fight, hatton will never ever fight as badly as that again.

 

Hatton has a great resume. The man was a unified champ at 140, made one of the greatest 140 lb.'ers of all time quit and went up to 147 and beat a very underrated Louis Collazo. Hatton is one of the 10 best JWW's of all time and his resume reflects this. Mayweather will have his hands full in this fight, it will be interesting to see if he can come out of this fight victourious.

 

:roll:

 

Warren's padding probably helped him be ready and sucessful at world level though.

Hatton was cherry picking them before Mayweather though.
