    I always laugh when he says he's the best ever because I never thought he really meant it.
    now I know he really believes it, and every fight he moves past another on my list.
    ot saying that a win over Hatton is big, but when a man keeps beating whoever he gets in there with in big fights that's about all you can ask.
    He is definitely past Leonard, Duran, Hearn,Chavez, and many others that some consider greats.
    Again, I'm not saying Hatton is great or good enough for MAyweather to prove anything big against, but I will say the Hatton fight proves there's no one answer to how to beat the man.
    Hatton's camp with help from Oscar De La Hoya, and Floyd sr could not put together a plan for a tough guy like Hatton to even make it a close 12 round decision.

    Mayweather is a great fighter, but let's not get too excited here..I would pick most, if not all the fighters you mentioned to beat him prime for prime.
