I mean like people forget what people wanted at the time it was a huge fight at the time and they were building the fight before those guys were top people. I mean maybe i give you Willaims but even that was a stretch at the time and then Mayweather retired after said he was done with it. I mean Cotto and Paul were coming up really were not top guys yet the ww divsion was kinda all around and Hatton had off fight still won and was consider a top 10 pound for pound at the time not bad choice for Mayweather.
Hatton only got that P4P recognition from beating Tszyu who you said was over-rated Like I said originally that I didn't mind him fighting Hatton because he was a champion at a lower weight, but at the time all I remember on the forums was for Floyd to face Cotto or Williams

So he beats Hatton and then retires but instead of coming back against the top guy (Pacquiao) like Leonard did against Hagler (two weight classes higher I might add) he came back against a lightweight
