It's a pretty convincing case tbh.
What people are forgetting is that you do not have to be the most technically gifted fighter to get the number one spot. You just have to be able to beat everybody in your weight class and for that weight class to be regarded as full of brilliance.

also, Hatton would be fighting above his naturally best weight, which gives him an even bigger shout for the number one spot if he wins.
So Hatton's weight class is "full of brilliance"(140) he has yet to fight some of the better WW at 147. And he would be fighting one weight class above his natural weight. Manny Pacquiao started about 3-4 divisions below where he is now,Floyd 5 weights etc etc.


I just don't believe wins over Mayweather,JLC and Tszyu would make him pound for pound number one.


JT has beaten B Hop twice when he was P4P number 1 and drawn with Winky.

Bernard has 20 plus title defences and beat Tarver and may beat Winky.

Winky beat Tito,Shane twice.

an uninspired, overweight tito, and winky lost to harry simon and vargas.. and drew to taylor

Rafa Marquez has beaten more RING top 10 than all of them and is a multiple weight champ.
?? name them!!!! R. Marquez has good victories over good opponents but has never ko a p4per and hasnt been in the ring with more p4pers than any of the above...

If hatton KO's Mayweather then that would make 3 P4P's past or current that he has ko'd........

Taylor hasnt ko'd any of his less threatening, smaller opponents the big wins over B-hop and all three bouts against Winky and b-hop was disputed....Hattons big wins Kostya, JLC was dominate KOs, and ko'd champ maussa in a unfication bout...

Benard-hop LOST TWO DISPUTED MATCHES RECENTLY... i like b-hop but you cant lose twice recently and still havent avenged the loss and have a claim at #1 p4p even if they were disputed... taylor won the second pretty easy IMO ..

none of the fighters you mentioned are undefeated.... like floyd and hatton

R. marquez could easily be #1 but winky, taylor, and hopkins are all about equal, none of them are clearly better than each other which in my view hurts them greatly.. i'm not sure they are better than kessler and calzaghe...

but pac, marquez, and hatton are clearly better than anyone in there divisions and would all have a good claim to #1, if hatton beats mayweather IMO..
