Anyone can be beaten. Hatton imo would lose to 5 or 6 current welters.. I don't think his mentality is really what it boils down to.
The thing is, fundamentally Floyd Mayweather jr. is not a Welterweight. Nor is Ricky for that matter...
He is preparing to face Floyd Mayweather and in doing so he will be preparing to face a man who unlike most Welter's is naturally 147 (or under) who will not put on 9-10 pounds before the fight and who come fight night will be lighter than he is himself.

Mentality in boxing is crucial. Coupled with the obviously great physical condition that Hatton is in, it becomes even more of a benefit.
