..If Hatton Beats Pacquiao, He's Not Number One...

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

if Hatton wins he'll jump up on the list.....but no way he becomes top dog......Joe Calzaghe would be the next logical choice.......Marquez wouldn't look right bein' the top dog if Ricky beats the guy who beat him twice

I agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[$partacus]

He would need more than that to become number one. If he managed to take out, for example, Pacquiao and Mayweather, then there'd be a definite argument.

If he beat Pac and Mayweather there would be no argument whatsoever, He would be number 1.

[S.G.]

You can clearly see from watching him fight that he doesn't deserve #1 status

He's not good enough.

good fighters have beaten great fighters in the past... it happens

beating a great doesn't automatically make you great

but this is all redundant, as Pacman is gonna brutalise him

That was what was implied. Glad you can read so well into subtlety.

it'd be really disappointing to rate him over Pacquiao tho, but credit will be given due to respect. Hatton would be between 3-6, but really cant tell. he'd be lucky to land 3rd.

Yeah, this conversation to me is actually kind of pointless, because I don't think Hatton wins more then three to four rounds, depending on how llong the fight goes. But, I just wanted to prove the point.

The thing is someone needs to explain to Hatton that one win doesnt determine your p4p status. Otherwise he's gona keep going on about this ****.

Why's De La Hoya talking **** as well?

Based on teh present top 10 he should moved to 6th, then upto 4th when Calzaghe and Bhop retire.

I'm not sure how Mosley who hasn't been top 10 in what 5 years? Manages to jump to 6 having beaten a fight who himself only made top 10 for the first time on the back of his last fight.

Then you have guys like Darchinyan who has been a belt holder for the best part of 3 years and just spanked the No1 in his division and doesn't even make top 10.

[hammerhiem]

Also beating someone who comes up two weights to fight you doesn't make you better P4P.

It is impossible to predict where Hatton would be if he wins. He'd be a lock for top 5 but theres some big fights involving fighters infront of him that can be won or lost. If JMM beats Diaz and Hatton beats Pac then nobody in their right mind could put Ricky infront of JMM.

Im taking a calculated guess here predicting Hatton and Diaz wins. P4P will probably look something like this IMO.

#1 Calzaghe
#2. Hatton
#3. Hopkins
#4. Pacquiao
#5. Vasquez
#6. Mosley
#7. Diaz
#8. JMM
#9. Rafa Marquez
#10. Calderon
