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

[bsrizpac2]

so he beats Tszyu, Mayweather, Pacquiao, Castillo and his record stands at 47-1 and you wouldn't consider him a contender for GOAT?

HOF level ******ity. Seriously this might be the most golden standard for idiocy I'v ever seen.

KT- shot
Castillo - beyond shot
Pac- haha like he'll get credit for a guy jumping 4 weight classes to fight a drunk wrestler.
Floyd- he'll never beat him. is this some sort of fantasy you have in your mind?

Hatton would go higher, but not higher than 5 in my opinion. Just the way it goes.

Vote. Discuss.

I say Hatton would be ranked no less that 4th but think he should be 3rd behind only Shane and Calzaghe if he won.

My top 10 lb4lb if Hatton beat Manny Pacs.

1)Joe Calzaghe(just because he's now undefeated at 2 weights)
2)Shane Mosley(obviously, no need to elaborate)
3)Ricky Hatton(he lost to the best and came back and beat the best)
4)Manny Pacquio(he is legendary, but cannot be ranked above Hatton now)
5)Juan Manuel Marquez(cannot be ranked above Hatton or Pac)
6)Bernard Hopkins(he's still got allot left but not top 5)
7)Ivan Calderon(boxing's best tiny man)
8)Vic Darchinyan(he will have beaten Arce by then)
9)Wladimir Klitschko(the only heavyweight worthy of the top P4P)
10)Miguel Cotto(only dropped from the top 10 after getting an illegal beating)

On a side note: Ring Magazine has Celestino Caballero listed in the top 10 P4P now. I can think of 10 guys off the top of my head who deserve it more. That's a shame. Who has beaten? Daniel Ponce de Leon was his only notable win and that was ages ago and it was a decision.
Note*I do think Celestino is a very exciting fighter and I enjoy watching him box.

He moves into the top 5 4 sho.

If Hatton beats Pacquiao he will definitely not be Pound for Pound #1, he will rise up in the rankings though. I think if he wins he will go up to either 4th, 5th, or 6th... I picked 5th though.

He also gave Steve Molitor a KO in a one-sided fight in a fight that he was the underdog in, IN Canada. It was Molitors first and only loss.

Same here.

He's P4P #9 right now, correct? A jump of 4 or 5 places up the rankings would be deserved.

The poll seems to indicate that Hatton would fall somewhere in the middle of the top ten, for the most part.

Molitor is and was nothing special. He was just exposed for being so. Nothing more. He had done basically nothing.

He was a ranked top 10 fighter. Fact.

Anything below top 3 would be a joke in my opinion, this would be a huge victory.
