Judges had Hatton ahead after 11 rounds, 105-104,106-103,107-102. Remember Tszyu lost rounds 9, 10 and 11 due to low blow that effectively ended the fight. Hatton would have won a decision. The fight was even IMO after 8 rounds and could have gone either way but the low blow finished Tszyu off and he was easy pickings after that.
It's ancient history and is of no consequence to the upcoming fight with Mayweather, yes Tszyu hits harder than PBF but all that means is Floyd won't knock the Fatboy out but he will win a tough UD.
105-104 is close to what I had it. Tszyu was clearly more and more bothered by Hattons style though. Your right that it has no relevance to Mayweather-Hatton though. I want Hatton to win and its possible he can win but any logical boxing fan should see that Floyd is the smarter, more well rounded fighter. And I hate to say that cause im not a fan of his.
