      I don't think it's a tough question at all.

        Hopkins deserves more credit IMO.

          Question then?? Why do people say Hatton is a jr WW when he had to add 7 pounds only, while Pavlik had to add 10.

            Did you forget the 17 year age advantage in favor of the favorite, undefeated Pavlik .

            Hopkins deserves alot more credit for his win.

              Mayweather deserves credit by far. Sure, i was wrong but look what REALLY happened in the fight. Hopkins dominated and showed his size. Mayweather had fits with a fighter that had already fought at welterweight and gained a title and was near his weight class.

                I was sure there was going to be an option C in the form of Joe Calsploogey. I mean, since he has gotten so much credit since last night.

                Serious answer- Hopkins of course. They were both fighting fighters a class below them in skill and ring smarts, but Hops was 43 and Pavlik is a much more dangerous fighter than Hatton was.

                  I think that Hatton was a bigger win purely because Hatton was more proven than Pavlik.
