IF Hatton beats Pacqauio does that mean he will be P4P #1?

[ono]

I can cerainly see the argument for putting him at number 1.

He'll have beaten 3 top ten fighters in the last 4 years (tszyu #2/3, Castillo was at number 10 when the fight was made, maybe slipped down a few places when the fight took place and Pac is number 1)

The problem with saying he'd be outside the top 3 is the fact that you'd be hard pushed to put 3 fighters ahead of him. Pac would lose stock with a loss, JMM has lost and drawn with Pac, Hopkins has recently lost altho he looked exceptional beating Pavlik and Tarver, Mosely deserves props for his win against Margarito, but has lost to Cotto who lost to Margarito....argh! Vasquez has been inactive, so has Rafael Marquez.

At the minute i think a lot have him anywhere between 7-11 but that's with including 2 inactive fighters in Rafa Marquez and Israel Vasquez.

When i compiled my p4p ratings i ommited Marquez and Vasquez due to inactivity so in turn Hatton moved up a few places. A win over pacman would most likely move him up another 2/3 places.

I'd probably side with Mick who has him at #2 behind Marquez but again i wouldn't argue with anybody having Hatton at #1. Techincally he is probably a level below the guys around him but the fact is he has wins over Tszyu, Castillo, Malignaggi, Urango, Collazo and if he were to win he'd have one over Pacman.

what difference does it make? if all goes as planned and Mayweather does come out of retirement, he'll be #1 again by the end of the year lol

I was actually thinking that when i was typing it. I was also thinking i think pac will win anyway.

I haven't done a top ten in ages, I'm not totally sure Hatton would be in it right now if I did one but either way if he was he'd be bottom third so a Pac win would move him top five probably but definitely not number 1.
