He's going to need to do A LOT

Castillo
Corrales
Witter
a couple others and cap it off with Cotto at 147

I'd like to see him fight Gatti as it would just be a hell of a fight

I'd say those would be good enough to consider him for all-time great status, nothing like top 10 or anything but it would place him well
So Gatti (who is beyond shot) is good enough for Hatton to beat but not Mayweather. Corrales is shot. No where near the prime Corrales Mayweather beat. Beating him now, means nothing. Castillo he's fighting. At least for now he is. Cotto is in his prime. So a fight with him will be ideal. As for Witter, didn't you post in a previous thread who was he? He's a nobody. So why fight him? It seems the standard for Hatton to achieve all time great status is a lot easier than Mayweather's.
