Well fighting the #1 doesn't mean as much as beating say a #4. And to finish the title of the post "...Pac will be beaten into the ER"
So Paq is the bigger guy even at the lower weight, if Paq got himself to 140, he'd be a lot bigger structure wise than Hatton.
Surprisingly, thats what the tape says yes.

Tszyu was top 5 P4P at that time, by consensus. Pac would be either flabby (ala DLH vs Sturm) or too muscle bound to compete with Hatton at 140, and would be blown away brutally. Hatton could make 135 without much trouble (140 isn't any grief whatsoever once burgers are off the menu) which would make for a better fight with Pac! He would just bully Pac constantly like he did with Castillo - even though JLC was the bigger framed fighter.
:good Hatton needs to stop asking smaller guys to come up in weight to fight him and start cleaning out the division as it is. Beating Witter will do more for Hatton's legacy than a win over Pacman.
Pac man isn't a smaller guy, hes structurally bigger then Hatton, he just fighting at a lighter weight at the moment.
I'll give you Tzyu and Floyd but he wouldn't get credit from me for pacquiao. Pacquiao is way smaller. **** if Wlad was to fight Floyd would you give him praises for fighting the p4p#1 guy?
Surprisingly, thats not what the tape says yes. Hatton has a bigger belly, thats about it.

but nobody praises or gives much credit to driving miss daisy for that win and rightly so. DLH had no business up at MW.
Yes they do give him credit. Beating up on ODLH and welterweight Trinidad are two of Hopkin's best wins and the two wins that made him P4P#1 at one point.
Exactly. If Pac's p4p #2 and challenges Hatton and he gets beat Hatton should be judged on the fact that he beat a p4p fighter. That's not even taking into account the fact that Pac is equal in frame
