Every resume can be picked apart...
Corrales was so weight drained that was able to make 130 for 3 more years after this fight. 
While Mayweather was fighting Hernandez in his 18th pro fight (Hernandez is Mayweather's Tszyu, in my opinion), Hatton was fighting the great Pedro Alonso Teran. He would not fight Tszyu for another 20+ fights...
If 33 year old DLH is old, why would anyone give Hatton credit for beating a 36 year old Tszyu? Also, DLH said coming into the fight that he had no injuries and was in the best shape of his life. DLH was inactive for a year just as Tsyzu was inactive for a year and a half. The difference? DLH chose to take that time off. Tszyu was severely injured for the year and a half that he didn't fight. Also keep in mind that Mayweather-DLH was a close fight with Mayweather fighting for the first time in his 5th division. Hatton-Tsyzu was a close fight when Hatton was in his natural division, in his backyard, and in his prime. It's pretty obvious which is the more quality win...
In your opinion, is DLH a greater fighter than Tsyzu?
The people in charge of the record books didn't get the memo...
Chavez is a better win than anyone Hatton has beaten to date not named Tsyzu and that may not even be one of Mayweather's top 5 wins...
Judah was a good fighter but never fought to his potential and Mitchell was never that great, yet these are the 2 biggest wins of Tszyu's career. Judah is maybe Mayweather's 5th best win...
It's about who you beat more than how you beat them. I'm sure Tsyzu would trade every single one of those knockout wins over B and C level fighters for a clear decision win over an A level fighter like DLH or Mayweather at 140...
1. Aaron "The Hawk" Pryor
2. Julio Cesar Chavez (in the early 90s, not 2000)
3. Antonio Cervantes
4. Wilfred Benitez
I'm sure there were some other greats before my time that are above Tsyzu and this is not including the great fighters who didn't spend much time at 140...
Corrales and Hernandez were weight drained to **** so those wins carry little weight. Hernandez was pretty old by then too, and also carrying some kind of eye injury I believe.

DLH? Old and several years past his prime, inactive, carrying injuries and Floyd still barely won, if at all.
In your opinion, is DLH a greater fighter than Tsyzu?
He's 1-1 with Castillo as we all know.
Chavez? Hardly the stuff of legends.
Judah and Mitchell? Chewed up and spat out by Kostya years before Floyd took on what was left of them.
Maybe you should take a look back at the opinions of Tszyu before the Hatton fight. Strange how it's suddenly changed.
You should maybe also spend less time on Boxrec and more time watching fights. You can sometimes actually tell what a good fighter looks like by watching them fight. Weird that, hey?
It wasn't just about who KT fought, it was about the way he beat them. If I recall correctly, only Urkal, Tackie and 1 other lasted the distance with him in nearly 20 title fights. He destroyed just about everyone he faced.

He is easily top 3 LWW of all time, maybe higher.
