    OK, what if he beats Hatton as expected and he fights Cotto next year and beats him. And then he fights Mosley maybe a year or two down the line where he feels confident that Mosley will have deteriorated a bit where he will feel good about fighting him and wins?

    And then he retires undefeated. Where does that rank him on your ATG list?

    If he beats Hatton, Cotto, and Mosley and retires 41-0 with 7 titles in 5 weight classes, I would rank him in the top 30.

    Would you guys rate him higher than Roy Jones Jr?

    It's close. Jones was the better fighter but with wins over Hatton, Cotto, Corrales, and Castillo it definently makes it hard to decide who's higher.
