    naw Pacquiao wouldn't have fought him at least at 140

    Mosley, Cotto, Margarito, etc. would have chased for a fight with him. This was actually before Cotto lost, so that would probably be a pretty big fight Arum would want.

    There would be a rematch vs Mayweather, and Floyd would of won that... if no rematch

    then Cotto vs Hatton..

    Who knows, counterfactuals are pointless. Too many variables. /history degree

    He loses a rematch with Mayweather and the rubber match. Lighting dose not strike twice.
    It would have made Mayweather more active. Mayweather would have fought Hatton twice more. As well as Berto and Mosley. The Marquez fight probbly dose not happen.
    Berto/Ortiz would have been for a vacant WBC championship.
    We would still be looking at Mayweather/Ortiz in September.
    Hatton would be rembered as the guy who on one night put it all together to beat the best guy of his era.

    If Rickey would have won then Joe Cortez would have retired to an undisclosed location because all of his efforts to swing the fight to Mayweather would have failed. But as you see Rickey lost and now is retired, and Cortez is still corrupting good fights.

    I think De La Hoya would have jumped on fighting Ricky at 147 instead of Manny. I vaguely recall hearing that he was looking at doing that before he picked Pacquiao for that 2008 fight but on the other hand I'm sure Mayweather would have immediately rematched him and won. So basically, same **** but everything shifted a few months.

    it probably be one of the best things to happen to boxing this generation. Mayweather would be much more active, we would have the fights we want to see. I do believe Mayweather wins a rematch.

    if hatton won against mayweather, then we won't be reading ridiculous and trolly posts from *****s.

    boxing won't be affected by it at all.. however, hatton would have cemented his place in the atg circle

    a pacquiao and hatton fight would always be inevitable considering that pac was moving up..

    if he has beaten pacquiao, then he wouldn't have retired by now and kept on fighting. and a khan-hatton fight would give a very big boost to UK boxing
