Tszyu was never P4P number 1, and as for Hatton beating Mayweather he will go to number 2 or 3 i believe.
Can't see how you can say he was never P4P No.1 as pretty sure he was at the top of the rankings in most respected magazines.
To my knowledge Tszyu was never in the top 3 p4p. Before Floyd assumed the spot Bernard Hopkins was p4p number 1 and for years before Hopkins took the slot Roy Jones was number 1 according to the ring rankings.

When Hatton beat Tyszu, Kosta was just about in the top 10, bottom end.

Hopkins, Barrera, Morales, Mayweather, Coralles, Castillo etc were all rated above Tyszu in the p4p rankings at that time as I recall.
Kostya was The Ring p4p no.3 when Hatton duffed him up.
