What do ROY JONES JR and RICKY HATTON have in common?

Of course. What happens in the ring is completely irrelevant, after all... :roll:

 

Yes,Roy never fought Hall of Famers James Toney and Bernard Hopkins,as well as older Mike McCallum,who was still good.Oh wait,not only did he fight all 3,but he beat all 3.Convincingly.And he beat the first 2 when they were young and strong.And who exactly did RJJ duck?Does anyone out there realize that Hatton has never come close to beating 3 fellows anywhere in the same league as Toney,Hopkins and McCallum?And what about all the top welters-only 7 pounds heavier than Hatton-like Mosley,Cotto,Clottey etc,etc. that Hatton refused to even consider as opponents?To say Hatton fought the best available opponents is simply incorrect.He ducked the top fighters just 7 pounds heavier.He hasn't even fought the best in his own division-Bradley,Torres,Holt.Hatton is actually the bigger handpicker.
