That's a ludicrous and ridiculous statement. When they were allowed to fight on the inside, PBF was dominating Hatton. Ricky's mom could've been the ref and PBF still would've beat him. What exactly would've been different if Cortez hadn't been the ref?
And for the record, if he beats Malignaggi and Pac/ODH, I would still have great difficulty calling him an ATG. He simply hasn't faced (and beaten) the type of competition to place him in that category. I like Hatton, he's a HoF fighter, but not an ATG. If that makes sense.
