Are you sure this is right? I am sure It states in the British Boxing yearbook 2003 that Hatton was an ABA champion in 1997.

He did win the Snr ABA's.[/quote

Yeah, you become a senior at 17.

so let me get this straight...Cotto`s a p4p..what the Fu*k.

People talk about Hatton being overhyped.

Its just fuc*ing stupid.

and...........and.......Where`s Suger Shane?...maybe Cotto fighting all those rated lightwieghts has edged him out, eh?

As talented as Cotto may be, is it not a bit early to put him on this list.

There are plenty of other boxers who have actually won world titles who should be there ahead of Cotto!!!

Guys the boxiing supremo at Sporting life regualrly has me spitting feathers he recently had Gene tunney at number 4 all time heavies, me arse.
Also how is Barerra (and Im a big marco fan) be higher than Pacman when he just kicked his ass . badly.
I regulalrly take him to task on various bullshit issues and fictional p4p lists he comes up with, via the "contact us" line but nothing gets done, ho hum thats what you get for generic sporting sites I suppose.
Its pretty shit hot on rugby and cricket tho.
