When did Hatton become a shot fighter?

After he had that kebab at 3:00 in the morning on a Saturday night two years ago.

His Fatman alter-ego finally caught up with him.

 

He has been on the decline since the Kostya Tszyu fight although I wouldnt have called him shot until I seen how easy he was beaten by Pac. His punch resistance was starting to go over the past few years and the Paulie fight was a bit decieving coz Mallignaggi is know as a light hitter

 

lets be realistic, he was never great to start with, he was a good fighter with an exciting crowd pleasing style

Before the Kostya Tyzu fight he hadn't really beaten anyone of note, but he dealt with everyone he fought pretty handily (except Magee), all the while building a much deserved fan base.

Since KT, he beat Mausa who was pretty much a no one, got a gift against Collazo (who had Hatton going several times which showed his punch resistance levels then) beat an over the hill JL Castillo, a green Urango, struggled with The Hispanic causing panic, lost the plot (and nearly his jaw) against Mayweather and beat a one handed Paulie Malignaggi, before being decimated by the Pac Man.

He isn't shot, he has just learned that his level is decent champion, not elite fighter.

I thionk he still has some fight in him, and some crowd pleasing performances.

H deserves all of the success he has had over the past few years and has lived the dream, earned money most fighters only dream, of, headlined vegas, sold out his football teams stadium and earned the respect of fans, fighters and writers across the world.

Whatever he does now, I ish him well
