    The Ricky Hatton of 2007 that lost to Floyd Mayweather against the Meldrick Taylor of 1990 who lost to Julio Cesar Chavez at Light/Junior Welterweight

    Who wins and how??

    Why would a ten stone Taylor fight a WW Hatton???

    Surely a more viable option would be the Hatton that beat Tszyu. And why are we picking a Taylor that lost a fight. Regardless of how brilliant his combinations were, that Taylor eventually succumbed to the pressure. Even if he had lasted, look at the state he was in.

    For what it's worth I think Taylor cuts Hatton up badly and stops him around the tenth (on cuts, no KD's)

    Hatton weighed essentially what he would after bulking back up for a LWW fight. And I chose the fighter's losses against the strongest opposition they faced just to mix it up really, as the losses were both against 2 of the best fighters in recent years and so I put 2 title holders together in a mythical matchup.....so shoot me!
