just out of curiosity, if hatton did beat floyd last december, would you all have considered him the p4p?
Considering he would have beat the p4p number 1 outside of his best weight division, you would have to.
Depends on how he won. I don't think I would take the crown from Floyd unless he was clearly outboxed for at least a few rounds. If he were to go down from an early flash KO, early stoppage or ref intterferance (similar to how Calzaghe beat Manfredo) I wouldn't knock him out of P4P #1.
he'd go in the top 3, but the didn't get close to winning and never would. So why even ask this? what about if Baldmomir had beat Floyd? That's about the same thing.
These lists mean little to me. So I will say, "There or there abouts" In other words, if not "there", not far behind.
To be fair - at least people had reasons for believing that Ricky could win - I certainly did, though it was more hope than expectation. Baldomir was hand picked if you are honest.
