The difference in Pavlik and Hatton is that Hatton has already established himself as a champion. He beat JLC in dramatic fashion and the Hatton name has been around for a while now. Prior to the Miranda fight Pavlik flew underneath everyones radar . Not too many people even heard of the kid. So that being said what would be more impressive. A guy who has belts and may possible win another fight to the one of the p4p greats while he himself is one of the p4p greats. Or a long shot that no one really heard of scoring three ko's one from a guy who has never been knocked out of ever scene the canvas (Zertuche)
before. Then going on to beat the most intimidating guy(Miranda) in the weight class . Then in conclusion being a Cinderella story by being trained by a asphalt sealer and Knocking out the champ in 7 rounds. That is almost poetic.

Pavlik fighter of the year.
