China Chin Hatton doesnt make it with any punchers.

SMH you must have missed a chest infected Hatton beating Urango to decision.

Weren't there rumours that he had a chest infection before the Lazcano fight too?

Whe I was growing up "infections" like that were called the Irish flu

Well of course Ricky who has called it a career would be a lot more accomplised at this point then guys in their early 20s and one of them in their mid 20s. (dont count Maidana because he isnt very good). With Khans, Ortiz, Alexanders, and Braelys talen, they have the abilty tobe a lot more accomplished by the end of their career then Hatton (maybe 2 of them will have better careers).

From my earlier post on page one:

"Urango, Malignaggi, Tszyu, Tackie, Collazo, Maussa and Castillo. So far that's a better resume than anyone of the current guys has. "

and IMO its not much of a resume and it can easily be achivied by the fighters from 140 in the next couple of years.

Only 1 guy will potentially have a better resume than Hatton in the next few years, and to do that he will have to beat everyone else in the discussion. That's not easy. Hatton's resume is solid.

Hatton getting knocked out by Floyd doesn't hold weight. He got knocked out because of his style and because he was getting hit with clean shots all night. Hatton fought Floyd more competitively than Judah, Baldomir, Marquez, Mosley and arguably De La Hoya. That says something. Out of Maidana, Ortiz, Khan, Bradley, Alexander & Hatton...Hatton has shown the best chin.

Hatton gets discredited because he fought ugly. He wasn't unskilled.

That's a really good point. I mean would anyone call Henry Armstrong unskilled? NOBODY fought uglier than that man.
