    Both have equally padded records but I would just about favour Hatton as Pacq is p4p much better than 'Nard or the robotic Kessler.

    Both deserve a top 20 place although right now Hatton is more 30 if he is lucky.

    I don't think so but a decent argument could certainly be made.

    can i just say that JC was an underdog in many peoples eyes for all his big fights bar the RJJ fight, hatton was the underdog for the tszyu fight and thats fair enough, but manny is naturaly lighter and it could be a case of a beatdown, just a theory

    ps pacman to win

    No, and it's probably better for your agenda that you keep the record comparison to a mere two names.

    No chance.

    If he goes on to beat Marquez though he definitley has an arguement.

    I would have to say no.

    However, it will propel him past Audley Harrison.

    I think Jeff is overly critical of JC and his stable but everyone is entitled to their opinion and that's what makes this forum.
