Ricky Hatton has two legit losses on his record to two hall of famers. He loss to Mayweather and Pacman when his PED levels was at an all-time high. So why is it when people talk about Hatton, they talk about him like he is a nobody? Record 45-3 Wins: Lazcano, Malignaggi, Castillo, Urango, Tszyu,
No one talks about him like he's a nobody. People on this forum respect him. He was actually a very good fighter and on the same sorta tier as Miguel Cotto.
Wasted talented .. If he spent as much time in the gym as he did guzzling beer and bacon, we would be still be debating on his accomplishment now.
People become annoyed when Hatton fans say that he "only lost to the best two fighters of this generation" as if he was much better than actuality. He was a decent fighter at best. He is overrated by many on ESB.
Competitive against one and stylistically trumped against the other. Ricky was a solid fighter and should be remembered for his number of quality wins and ability as a fighter. PED levels at an all time high atsch looks like we got an omnipotent chemist over here.
he was a bulldog brit who could punch and not much else some of us here appreciate other aspects of the sport, you know like skills
Hatton didn't have the heart of an ATG. He lets a single loss destroy his whole career. ATG's always bounce back from their loss and go on to make history.
I can agree with the Cotto tier thing. Slightly lesser, but comparable. X 2 Often times they don't. But most try. You can say he didn't have heart outside the ring and I'd agree. But inside the ring I think he showed a good bit of it. Well, competitive thru 6 rounds with one until he got overwhelmed. As for the other, as many on here say about other fights, "he was winning except for the KD's."
