If Hatton wins vs Pac, will you rank him ahead of Calzaghe in P4P rank?

    I disagree. I don't need to feel validated by having others agree with me. Paul Williams was no.10 in the p4p rankings the month before Hatton beat Malignaggi. Had Williams (6'1" ww) beaten Pacquiao at 147 that month, Williams would not have displaced him as number 1 due to the obvious size disparity even though Pac is making the weight for the fight, so your theory falls flat. Every situation is different.

    I'm not on the defensive, I just have a different sense of humour to you. If you think it was funny then laugh, you don't need me to laugh as well, do you?

    So in Dinamita's hierachy of boxing the smaller guys who win deserve far more credit than the bigger men.

    Never fight someone smaller you cannot win...

    Yes, obviously. He won his first world title at 112lbs, he spent the majority of his career at 122-130. He is up at 140 only because the superfights are there, he is 30 now, if he was a natural lww he would've fighting there years ago all through his twenties, not just a couple of big money fights at 30+.

    I have to log off shortly, but I'll leave you with this:

    Thomas Hearns was 6'1". He started his career at 147lbs, and won his first world title there. When Hearns was fighting Iran Barkley at 175lbs in 1992 or Uriah Grant at cruiserweight (around 190 at the time), do you think he was being viewed as the same size as them - even though he was the taller man against both?? No. He was a naturally smaller man who was good enough to compete at these weights, but the losses he incurred were not as damaging as if he had been beaten by guys this standard when at his natural weights of ww and lmw.

    I'm with you on the fact that Hatton winning does'nt put him above the JMM, JoeC and BHop but if he beats Pac and Pac is stays at 140 then Hatton has to be considered the better fighter. Pac obviously use to be better but things change. People retire, get old and get beaten. They dont hold on to there positions due to what there skills were in the past.
    Hatton number 4 P4P
    Pac number 5 P4P
    in the event of a Hatton victory.

    I disagree, but fair enough. We do not yet know that Pac will not fight JMM at lightweight in the near future. We do not know this. I suspect it will happen because I don't believe JMM can get up as high as lww. We'll have to agree to disagree.
