The Ring: "Hatton's Record Simply Isn't Hall Of Fame Worthy"

hall of fame criteria includes mainstream popularity...he deserves to be in the hall of fame for what he has done for the sport as a boxer

 

Definitely a HOF...:good

 

hmm says... damn this poll is even still.

 

I'll agree with most of that, only thing that's wrong is that Castillo was most definitely shot in the Hatton fight, and there was plenty of people saying it beforehand, you only had to look at his previous performance against N'Goujdo where he was gifted a decision. Hattons definitely HOF worthy though, and i don't even like the guy

 

so many people get into the HOF these days I would say yes.

Is Hatton a top 100 fighter no.

 

If that's the case i am going to vote yes.

 

Nope

 

my rankings would be this way..

corrales
castillo
hatton
casamayor

-all hall of famers imo

 

That let anyone in now anyway...so I couldnt care less. That particular organization is gradually losing creditability with me.

 

its the hall of FAME
not the hall of VERY GOOD
hatton- NO

47 fights

5 actual legitimate world title fights

NO

 

better way to put is that they induct 4 modern boxers a year...and

 

If McGuigan can get in so can Hatton

 

Borderline on record alone but who knows if he'll be helped by his popularity?

 

if Only the best of best got included in the HOF Hatton wouldnt have a chance in hell but its not so he will probably get in.

 

As has been said; his accomplishments are borderline, but the fact he brought real mainstream interest when boxing is becoming an alternative sport is not insignificant.
