I think the only time that happened was when oscar leap frogged roy, i could be mistaken, its been alot of years and its hard to memorize all those p4p lists.

Pretty sure you're correct. That was about 1997 I think, after Oscars wins over Pea, Gonzales and Camacho. Maybe it was 1998-99. Not sure, but I do remember that clearly, because it wasn't very long lived. Less than a year if Im not mistaken.

A Hatton/Floyd fight when both were at 140 would have been a massacre. i think Hatton benefited from the Collazo/Urango/castillo trip. It gave him more experience, built his confidence and allowed his face/scar tissue to get better.

Even hatton's dad admits that back in 2004/2005, they weren't ready "style-wise" for Mayweather.

Hatton had JUST beat Tszyu when he flew to Jersey to watch Floyd/gatti. And after that display, none of the JWW's wanted the mayweather fight. People will re-write history, but the ONLY JWW who was calling for FMJ was Vivian Harris. And he peed down his leg in the maussa fight.

I was here when all of that went down. Before the mayweather hate machine started, after that Gatti fight, mayweather was actualy one of the more popular fighters on this site, until...well, a boogey man known as antonio got drummed up.

The reality is, none of the jr ww's wanted to fight each other. Harris was going all crazy calling mayweather a f@ggot at the press conference and then got knocked out, cotto was mostly building his resume, and hatton would then face maussa basically leaving mayweather with no options other than moving up to face the undisputed champ at 147 at the time. And we all know how that saga played out.
