No clear-cut answer. Nobody possesses the same combination of charisma, likeability, and skill like Hatton. There may be some truth to the song: "There's only one Ricky Hatton..."

Pavlik would have been without the Hopkins loss and may still be providing he comes back to string together a few wins. Pwill isn't there yet. Dawson may be the truth, but isn't quite there. PBF is disliked by most people. Arreola is far from there and to be honest, no matter how talented or likeable he is, I'm not convinced Americans are ready for a Mexican American to be the US-version of Ricky Hatton. I am, of course, but the average American may not be. I'd love to be proved wrong. Although not on the list, Jermain Taylor, assuming he can beat the competition, could be the next big American star because he already has some notoriety.
