    ATG hell no

    Great, not really

    HOF, yes, combination of ability and fanbase, impact for boxing.

    Yes, he is up there with the Greats of Boxing
    No, he is a mediocre brit who just had hype

    Neither, these options are very limited and poor.

    Hall of Famer with a string of really good wins, but he lacks a defining over an ATG.

    It's actual getting beyond sad the amount of time the op spends attempting to put down British fighters.

    I would disagree.

    The way Hatton outboxed and destroyed a prime Tsyzu, and Malignaggi really puts him up there. He took their souls.

    his best wins are Tszyu, Paulie and Castillo, lost to May and Pac

    solid fighter, for sure, but not ATG material, not voting, OP you could of given more subjective choices

    Urango was a better win than Malignaggi, even Maussa was better than the Castillo win, but you can't blame Hatton for KOing Maussa, Maussa held one of the belts.

    He's not being serious you only need to look at his post history to see his agenda, it appears he's hoping that by his overrating of Hatton everyone else will put down Hatton's achievements.

    He's one of the best at 140. It should be noted that I don't think highly of 140.

    He never would have been "great," but he definitely robbed himself of several more years as an A-level fighter at 140.

    It was Ricky's bad habits that cost him a place at the very top of the sport. He had the raw potential to be one of the greatest greats, but his personal demons ended up ruining him.

    That floyd loss destroyed him emotionally and the pac fight pretty much was the icing on the cake, am i wrong?
