Ricky Hatton's place among the British greats?

Wales in England!!!!! It most definitely is not

 

Technichally i agree that Conteh was much better than Hatton, but when you consider everything i think They are equal. The way you guys think i overrate Lopez, Well i think you guys overrate Conteh:yep Yey Id put Calzaghe over Lennox. Calzaghe was never KTFOD byless than A level fighters and Lennox was kod twice. Maybe if Calzaghe never got up against Byron Mitchell, or was kod by Charles Brewer id consider putting Lewis ahead of him.
Also they seem to have a lot in common they both beat ATG who were past their best,but Calzaghe wins the Tie breaker cause no one ever beat him.

Im guessing that Freddie Welsh is yank etc etc? I thought he was raised out there and only fought in the US.

 

Fitzsimmons. I'd count him as English though.

 

I heard you guys arguing about this for days on the Lounge forum, and i heard 2 sides to it.

Well im very smart thank you for thinking so highly of my intelligence before this post OK im not an expert on the Geography of England.
To Americans Wales and England are the same thing,but thats good that just makes your boxing talent deeper right?

 

Well being 1/4 Scottish I consider myself British

 

Also,taking into account how small the Britishisles are I'd say the talent pool is pretty decent

 

What is the population like 50 Milliion in England right? What about the UK?

 

i know this is not a head to head fight thing but honeyghan for me is at least a level above hatton and a head to head fight would of been a murder and lloyd would of been the one doig time


i am english not a taff or a mick or even a jock ,my great great grandad was apparently a italian jew but at least he ws not a taff

 

what is your top 15 ,yiddle.british fighters

 

:goodi'm british too
english/scottish
irish granddad
welsh surname
**** me !!

 

Well at welterweight i have to agree that Honeyghan would have kod Hatton. But we all know that was not Hattons best weight. If you look at their resumes though id have to give the edge to Hatton.

 

i think you'll find hatton is at least a rung below ken buchanan in most peoples eyes.our, britains gravy days were perhaps the peaks of benn and eubank and later collins, calzaghe and reid.
not forgetting glen cattley ,henry wharton, michael watson and the bomber.hatton never had domestic rivals like these and perhaps suffered because of this.

 

i am not a hatton fan as you might of guessed but honeyghans win over curry tops any win of hattons .and apart from the zu win i think honeyghans win over rosi tops any of hattons other big fight wins remember honeyghan ko'd rosi in devastating fashion

 

i dont make many list's but on boxing ability is hatton more skilled than graham,laing or walter mcgowan
