They both were extremely light hitters, although Hatton isn't a hard hitter, he'd rough Chavez up, it would be an ugly fight.
That's not what I was refuting. I was refuting the statement that Chavez never beat anyone good at 140, that is all.
How Hatton was after the Mayweather fight is irrelevant to the question.Chavez bullies Hatton to an easy victory.Their levels were so different.Hatton ain't getting into the HOF first,second or third ballot.Jeez.
I actually think Hatton was a very good fighter at 140 but c'mon.
The sad thing about Hatton is that he totally abused his body between fights and was still very, very good for a short period of time. Maybe we never even got to see the best of him. He could have been so much more had he lived the life of an athlete. He was shot to pieces after the Floyd fight and never recovered from that loss.
He beat prime Meldrick Taylor and Hector Camacho at 140.

The Ricky Hatton that fought Kostya Tszyu would win by decesion. The Hatton we saw a few years later that spent more time in the pub then in the gym, gets knocked out.
