If Hatton beats Pac would that make him the P4P best?

    According to Oscar it would. On "the scene" there is a new article in which Oscar is quoted as saying "I think Hatton will dethrone Pacquiao and become boxing's pound-for-pound king."

    No. End of story.

    Don't think Hatton is being arrogant though, he is just stupid thats all.

    He stated he was going to watch Pac vs DLH who 'are fighting for the P4P championship'....

    Chump!

    No, but Hattons resume isn't questionable......just not good enuff for p4p no.1.

    Beating Pac would imo get him top 5 p4p. If he were to beat FM after tho, that would be enough to secure 040 no1 for sure.

    I think Hattons just using this mythical P4P belt you can win in one match to talk up the fight.

    His current ranking of #8 isn't even justifiable...!

    If Hatton beats Pac then that should put him up to number 5 at the very least. Question is where does it put Pac and who goes into top spot?

    The no# 2 gets the No#1 position with Pac slipping to no#4 and Hatton at no#5...

    If Hatton destroys Pac inside 3 rounds, then yes.

    In any other scenario, then no.

    A win should take him Top 5 easily, perhaps Top 3.

    No..simply because beating a naturally smaller fighter shouldnt impact that greatly on your p4p ranking. Defeats the purpose of the term p4p.

    Defo should move up some spots at least to no 5..I think 3 would be fair.
