This is one of the response on the said column that made me "you obviously are in love with hatton, but not in love with common sense and reason. Also your knowledge of boxing is terrible to think hatton would win any of the two rematches??????"
"I am sure if the two fighters that beat him would dare accept a rematch ; he would be victorious." wow, how does this guy get published?
Hatton is a glorified club fighter, product of an excellent match making machine with an awesome personality. At his prime he wasn't more than a b- fighter. His greatest win was the benefit of poor refereeing (Tzysu)
Not so much...no. He was wildly popular but outside of that he was limited skillwise and came up short on the 2 biggest challenges of his career. Looking back, I still think his biggest mistake as of late was to take on Mayweather Sr. as a trainer... Other than that, he was fun to watch I guess...
:huh are you for real???????? maybe the best clincher/pusher, or skelator lookalike, but not the best boxer, the last two that beat him are both better this decade !

More like bull**** refereeing... That ******* should be banned from boxing period... First time I've ever seen a ref take heed on when to break from one of the fighters...
