If Hatton beat Pacquiao is he P4P No1?

[Bomp]

This fight looks as though it will now happen. After last nights performance it definitely wont be an easy win for Hatton as so many on here thought this time yesterday.

I'm a huge Hatton fan but the two things he always says that does my head in are: referring to himself in the 3rd person and saying his dream of being P4P number 1 will come true if he beats Mayweather/Pacquiao.

The top P4P spot is not like the Ring belt, that said though, is Hatton correct in this instance? Pacquiao clearly doesn't lose anything at the higher weights so if hatton were to win then it would hold a great deal of credibilty

You're right about Hatton, he does treat p4p like the ring belt. A win over Pac would be huge, but Iwouldn't put him p4p no.1, after all Pac only this year struggled with JMM, and beating a faded Oscar doesn't make you an invincible superman overnight.

It's what I hate about Hatton, he likes to portray himself as an 'anyone anywhere' type of fighter, but is the most selective fighter out there. Fights with Floyd and Pac are low risk for him in reality since he can claim he only lost to the very best, when in fact he'd be a huge underdog against the top 5 welters, 50/50 with Bradley and something similar with the smaller JMM - which isn't the reputation of a p4p no.1.
