10.Aturo Gatti

Don't see how you can rate N'dou above Hatton, he's lost to Cotto and Mitchell, I can see the reasoning though, which is that he has at least fought those two, but I think the losses should rank him lower.

Also, how come Gatti is always rated to highly on the basis of three fights against Mickey Ward, and what a win over Branca? Do me a favour.

very good im more inclined to agree with ur list

By going the WBU route after winning the British title, Hatton didn't prove himself the best fighter in Europe. That's why, yes, I would rate Urkal over him.

Very Very true.
Also
The Harris v Urkal decision is apparently very close.
Be interesting to watch.

Yeah. Really good win for Harris. Can you imagine Hatton beating Urkal in Germany! I can't.

I wish i could post my full rankings here, but i made a promise not to speak about one of the fighters that would make it onto my list. I suppose i could manage a top 5 or 6 though.

Tszyu
Mayweather
Mitchell
Cotto
Harris

Judah fits in at 5 if he comes back down.

I wonder how long before my goodly nature is corrupted by you cheeky wee boxrec rascals?

Fair comment but do you really think Hatton would get Ko'd inside 2 rounds if he fought Zoo, I think not. Although his management are not doing him any favours dont forget he is still as strong as an ox, dont write him off yet.

Vince Phillips told me the other week that Hatton wasnt particularly strong or a hard puncher. Just durable.

He reckoned Zoo would spark him and Judah would slaughter him.

I reckon he might be right. I think Hatton may come badly unstuck against a mover that can bang, like Judah. It would be nice if we could actually find out, mind you...
