    Anyway I answered this a couple of a years ago, but I'll go with:

    Lennox - Holy, Tyson

    Arguably:

    Benn - McClellan, Barkley (arguable Eubank)
    Eubank - Benn, Watson
    Buchanon - Laguana (twice), Ortiz
    Honeyghan - Curry, Blocker
    Calzaghe - Hopkins, Kessler/Eubank/Jones

    Point is that the guy was an avaerage world level operator who got hyped up as the second coming, and the way people try to make out he is an all time great.

    I dont think Hatton would have a chance with many of the very best fighters on there best nights around 135, 140 and 147.

    If boxing was based on the UFC model......only one champion and fewer divisions........do you really think he would have been a champ.......in fact im always saying we should melt the 135, 140 and 147 divisions togeather.......make 3 into 1 and then you get the best of the best vying for the world attention.....

    Yeah Lennox, Benn, Buchanan and Honeyghan all have more impressive wins. Calzaghe arguably.

    Going right back Jack 'Kid' Berg probably has some of the best wins for a British fighter over guys like Billy Petrolle, Mushy Callahan, Tony Canzoneri and Kid Chocolatte.

    Still I take nothing away from Hatton hes done his bit for British boxing in his era.
