no, to be honest I think Tszyu is a bit overrated when you look down his record....but it's still better than Hatton's. Hatton has an old and rusty Tszyu and an old and shot Castillo.....what else is on there? Not much at all.
we await the day Hatton fights an elite fighter near or in his prime.

Tszyu's dominance as a junior welterweight champion and all of his title defenses surpass Hatton. If Hatton beats Malignaggi and cleans out 140, he could surpass Tszyu. If somehow he beat De La Hoya or Mayweather, it would seal the deal. But for right now, I think Tszyu's resume is better.

Is this a genuine question or a lazy trolling attempt?

Ali beat an old and rusty George Foreman.............................Oh wait, Foreman wasn't British. My bad - Ali rules.
What?
Foreman was 25 and in his prime.

This is like comparing Barry McGuigan's resume to Eusebio Pedroza, (although Olivares wasn't as far past it as Chavez was).
Hatton beat Tszyu, but Tszyu has the superior resume when you look at his whole career, much of it spent at a very high level of the sport.

both are overrated, hatton for beating tszyu, and tszyu for knocking out judah and beating guys like sharmba mitchell.

Yes. Tszyu doesn't have a top 30 lightweight on his record either.

hatton only has 2 good wins both past there best
before Hatton fought Tszyu people were saying that Tszyu was gonna kill him, now Tszyu was "well past it"...their resumes look very similar at this point and i'd call it even...Chavez was indeed SHOT when Tszyu beat him, so Tszyu's best wins are Mitchell and Judah...Hatton's best wins are Tszyu and Castillo...i wouldn't complain if someone said Hatton actually had a better resume...

Tsyu was not shot when he fought hatton but well past his prime.. and gave hatton a hell of a fight...So that is the only real name other then a SHOT castillo. I mean we will see about Castillo. We will see what he does his next fight...but he got outworked by the dude before hatton and looked horrible..Rust just falling everywhere..

Nobody knows whether Castillo is shot (except the Hatton haters obviously), he's past his best but we'll have to see.

Both great fighters..Mayweather's name on hattons win sheet is the key to this whole topic...
Im a kostya fan(surprise surprise) and think at the moment tzsyu has more of a legacy..AT THE MOMENT....
Kostya is a garunteed hall of famer in both the pro and amateur ranks, something few fighters achieve...
