And for the record, Pryor and Tszyu imo also didn't have too many great names on their records at the division also, just like Hatton. Like I said, historically 140 pound division isn't that strong.

just one comment on this daft post

for a time when hatton was at his peak in the LWW division it was considered to have a lot more depth than the WW division
Whatever makes you happy bro. Learn to live in reality. I know Hatton fans have a hard time with this. See all the excuses on why Hatton lost to 2 of the greatest fighters of this era.
