    If Hatton beats Manny Pacquiao convincingly, is there a case for him to be placed, alltime, above any of these guys?

    If so, which ones, if any?

    Ricardo Lopez
    Winky Wright
    Shane Mosley
    Joe Calzaghe
    Félix Trinidad
    Marco Antonio Barrera
    James Toney
    Erik Morales
    Juan Manuel Marquez

    I wouldn't put him above any of those fighters from that performance alone.

    To rank above those guys - I would want to see him develop further with Mayweather Snr and take on some welter challenges and be convincing at that weight as well.

    His Welter performances hurt his all time status IMO.

    Only Winky, possibly Toney & arguably JMM. Wins over Kostya Tszyu & Pacman are very impressive though.
