I think if this fight is foughten without Cortez being the ref, and its the Hatton who fought Tszyu I think he wins this one. Meldrick's speed only counts for something he has room to use it, and he had good footwork, don't get me wrong, but he wasn't as elusive as Mayweather, and he couldn't counter of his back fought like Mayweather, Hopkins, Roy Jones Jr., etc.

Furthermore, Taylor didn't have the defensive skills of the ropes that would be needed to keep Hatton at bay, I see this being close, but looking like Duran-Leonard 1, with Taylor not being able to get off the ropes, and Hatton smothering him, being in too close for Taylor to get off those combinations, and Hatton has too good of lateral movement while his opponent is against the ropes for Taylor to get away.
