Make a case for Ricky Hatton being in the Hall of Fame.

No thanks!

 

Khaosai Galaxy.

 

fame (it's not hall of greatness for some reason) and money. popularity goes a LONG way to getting there. think about all the great fighters who weren't draws. it tooks years for many of them to reach the hall

very good fighter+hugely popular=ticket to IBHOF

 

Unless you can get in there for being a 'nice guy'

However if his promotional company kicks off, he could get in for 'contribution to the sport'

 

galaxy has been getting trashed lately. i loved the guy! what's with the hate? he was exciting as all get out

 

Well...maybe the British hall of fame...but he should be left out of any hall of fame talk, if for nothing else, because he said he was winning the second round of the Pacquiao fight by a "country mile".

 

He's very famous.
His career record is better than some other people that are in there.

What more do you want?

 

Ricky Hatton will be in the hall of fame no doubt about.

Yes, Ricky will be in the Pacman section of the IBHOF in this picture.

 

Nope.

 

laugh all you want but think about all the people his induction will bring to the ceremony. it's still a business

 

Ricky Hatton 45-2

Key Wins
-Beat Kostya Tszyu for 140 lineal title, ABC belt(tszyu p4p #3)
-Beat Castillo(who at the time was p4p #8,number 1 contender at 140)

Notables: Was lineal 140 champ for 4 years, 2 division world champ, was ranked on the P4P list for 2-3 years....has one of most unique followings in the history of boxing, and was one of the best ambassador's for british boxing in the history of the sport...

Key Loses
-Floyd Mayweather P4P #1 at the time
-Manny Pacquiao P4P #1 at the time

Hatton was at first overrated, now I think he is getting underrated for his era....Hatton is a Hall of famer, there is people in there that have a worse resume then hatton....

No offense, but if gatti gets in who is not even close to the accomplishments of hatton, then hatton will most likely get in...

 

He once beat the greatest boxer of the 00's - Matthew Hatton in sparring.

 

I love watching Galaxy aswell...but his inclusion in the HOF over others is bull****.

 

It's not just based on how good a fighter you are, which is how Hatton can get in. Look at Barry McGuigan - Good fighter, not as good as Hatton and did less, but he is deservedly in there. Why? Because if the impact he had as a boxer, which was huge. Rate him or not, Hatton brought 30,000 fans, the majority of whom, didn't have a ticket, to be there for his fight against Mayweather. That figure is astonishing. Hatton has sold 3m PPV's and is a mainstream name.
