    I feel like Hatton's chin would let him down if these two were to ever meet.

    Unless it's in Manchester with Parriss reffing, Pambele destroys Hatton. Not even close. And a prime Pambele beats any version of Kostya as well.

    In the history of this forum, has Hatton ever won a matchup?

    Only when I am picking....but Hatton is admittedly one of my favs and it was watching Hatton vs Tszyu that I got back into boxing after a few years away. I do think more highly of him than many, but hold no illusions that he is an ATG, but he was very good to great at 140 IMO

    Khan, Gatti, Bradley, Haugen, a few others.

    There's a lot of matchups you can put Hatton in that he wins. But do I think he could have beaten any of the junior welterweight greats at their primes?

    No. I think guys like Cervantes, Pryor, Chavez, and Benitez would have stopped Hatton. Just to name a few.
