    With a win, does Hatton become one of the all-time greats?

    Don't turn this into a PBF vs. Hatton pissing contest thread; we have 27320 of those already. This is purely hypothetical.

    At 44-0, his career has been very impressive so far. However, it is still lacking that huge win. And let's get serious, few wins in the history of boxing could compare to that of beating Mayweather, one of the greatest PFP ever, and it would be his only loss. I think this win would single handily put him in a discussion of all-time great boxers.

          It all depends on how well he would beat Floyd. IMO

            It will be hard to say that he as an all-time great after one great win. I think he has to do more than beat 1 fighter of PBF's caliber to be considered a great. If Hatton would go on to fight and beat fighters like Cotto and Williams.
