If Hatton wins would you make him p4p #1?

no

 

Depends on how. If he goes out and whoops mayweather around the ring yeah. If he's getting beat and pulls off a miracle knockout then he would be top 5 maybe top 3.

 

Very good question and to be honest, I haven't given it much thought. Probably because I don't give Hatton a good shot at winning.

With a win over Mayweather, Hatton would clearly rise above Marquez, Cotto, Hopkins, and Vazquez.

There would be cases for Joe Calzaghe and Manny Pacquiao.

I would probably put him above Calzaghe because he would have become a multi-division champion beating Tszyu and then Mayweather - both of whom were top 4 or 5 P4P fighters. Pacquiao has a good claim if Mayweather loses, but I'm not sure I would put his wins over Morales, Solis, Larios, and Barrera over Tszyu, Maussa, Collazo, Urango, Castillo, and Mayweather.

So, while there is a case for others, to answer your question...yes, I would put him number 1.

 

I would say top three.

 

I would probably have it something like this...

1. Hatton
2. Calzaghe
3. Pacquiao
4. Mayweather
5. Cotto
6. Marquez or Hopkins

 

Great Post, totally agree with the way you broke it down also.

 

Nah that's not right . . . If Floyd loses to another Ring belt holder . . . he certainly must move down the list.

 

I don't even make him the best British fighter at 140lbs, so no. All Witter needs is for Ricky to grow the balls to finally fight him and I would be proven right.
So far Wicky has ducked him.

 

So if Ricky Hatton beats Floyd Mayweather, you will put Junior Witter ahead of him? Based on what? A perceived notion that Hatton is ducking him or his wins over Corley and Harris?

 

Had not thought about it. But this seems to make the most sense currently.
