Surely not because RING says so.

Doesn't work that way...a win is a win...no matter how wrong it seems.
That can't be the case, or else we'd have Jermain Taylor high on our p4p rankings. He got not just one, but two consecutive "win is a wins" against a fighter that most had in the top 2 going into those fights. Yet Taylor is nowhere in our top 10. (Note that a single victory against a lower-ranked p4p fighter (than B-Hop was) was all it took to get the up-to-that-point unknown Chris John a spot on our ratings.) Conclusion: some wins count for more than others. This win from Hatton showed that he's on roughly the same level as Collazo--who's a good fighter, but not elite, and nowhere on anyone's p4p list.
I agree I personally never had him in my top 10. Top 15 yeah. I just feel hatton is high on a lot of lists cause tszyu but people don' t realize that tszyu had to do alot more to even be put on the list and tszyu wasn't even on a lot of peoples list before the mitchell fight. I just don't see how he can go from being nowhere near the top 10 to # 6 off just 1 win. Maussa don't count. If he does i guess cotto must be in the top 10 too huh.
