Is there a boxer, who achieved so little but is so popular as Ricky Hatton?

[CarlosG815]

Hamed maybe... even though he achieved awhole lot more than Hatton

his level of popularity still surpasses the greatness of his achievements

Hamed was far better than Hatton.

To answer your question I can not think of a fighter who accomplished less than Hatton. His claim to fame was defeating a Kostya who was far past his best and then being dismantled by Floyd and Manny.

Hatton is a C class fighter and will soon be forgotten by the boxing world. The hype created around him to promote his fights with Floyd and Manny will linger for a while, but once it fades away he will just be the guy that beat Kostya when Kostya was on his way out.

And the performance against Kostya wasn't impressive. At least what Tyson did to Holmes was impressive, and the same goes for what Holmes did to Ali.

I'd say Hatton is at 14:59 of his 15 minutes and we're on the cusp of forgetting all about him.

khan right now. whats the big deal about him his only legit 140 name was paulie other than that he calls out 140 greats but then trys to fight light weights...

Khan is much more skilled than Hatton.

his achievements seem to diminish with every passing day, yet some see the man as a legend.

has anyone done less to earn their status?

he beat the #1 fighter in his division.

he also won multiple paper belts.

the guy did accomplish something.

Khan is 23 years old and has almost as good a resume as hatton did at 30

but hasnt done **** besides pick on lightweights. i never said he didnt have talent but im sickened when i here his next fight is either old ass casamayor or easily outboxed katsidis. btw before any kat fans get hurt i appreciate his exciting style but he'll get massacred by khans badass jab. the fool needs to fight a decent 140 contender atleast.

[Kalion]

Most european fighters seem that way as of lately.

Hatton, Khan, Haye.

you gotta give oscar his props even though he lost most of his big fights he fought everybody. i never understood why most of the mexican fans didnt appreciate that about oscar its not like he fought taxi drivers he always took the biggest challenges.

tyson is a good one.

but in his defense , he beat practically everyone in pre-douglas days.

post jail , he was making a ton of money in comparison to who he was beating.
