Tszyu was flat footed and needed a lot of time and space to do his thing. I also believe that Tszyu was very overrated, the money was there for him to move up and fight the big names at 147 but he knew better.
That was a peak Hatton and that version was a force against anyone. If Floyd was in the opposite corner that night the fight would have been 50/50.
No Mayweather would have embarrassed Tszyu. Honestly it would have been humiliating for Tszyu if he’d have made it to Floyd. Hatton at his best was good but Floyd was great and he’d beat any version of Hatton on his worst night.
