Arguello was a truly great fighter - but if you want to see how tough Aaron Pryor was, look at the right hand he takes in the 13th round (second last round) of that fight. That right hand would have KO'd just about any other guy who ever lived yet Pryor shrugged it off and came out and stopped Arguello in the next round.

Toughest, most relentless guy I ever saw was Aaron Pryor.

But let's not forget that Hatton isn't even 30 yet - he still has time to improve and put on career defining performances. But it's my fear that Hatton's best years may already be behind him - and he spent too much of those toiling against sub par opponents.
One man who may cause Pryor some trouble at 140 is a prime Kostya Tszyu. Hatton beat a vey old Tszyu but WOULD mark my words have been KTFO by Tszyu in his prime.

I think this would have been a better fantasy match to have, all due respect to Hatton who I do like but he isn't in this league.
