    So HATTON was 'KING' of 140, yet ONLY HAD ONE TITLE???

    According to everyone hatton ruled the 140 division from time he tko'd TSZYU until pac ko'd him.

    Then why did he only have the IBF title??/ WTF did he do in them 4 years???? How could he possibly be rated so high when he didn't even hold a proper title???

    I knew Hatton was overrated all along.

    Then he comes back and struggles against Maussa.

    Brit fans didn't want to hear that though.

        If memory serves me right, he lost them in mandatories. He had the IBF and WBA. Then the Lineal title from KT. Never lost at 140 prior to Pac. No JWW can be rated over him until that pacquiao fight.

          Tszyu was the man in the division. Then Hatton beat him.

          You can dispute whether or not he would've beaten the other guys at 140, but it's a fact that he held the lineal title.

              he unified 2 titles wba/ibf during his reign. went to 147 and came down to win the vacant ibf title. then after a lost to pbf came back down again and beat the then ibf title paulie malinaggi who was rated #2 at the time.

                When Mayweather and Cotto were both on Top Rank, Cotto had a title and so did Mayweather @ 140....thats why..they could have fought for their Belts....Mayweather wanted to fight Hatton @ 140 as well, Hattons dad didnt want the fight....So Mayweather left 140....Cotto & Hatton didnt want to fight him after seeing what he did to Gatti @ 140.....

                in 2005 Cotto was the WBO champ & Mayweather was the WBC champ & Hatton was the WBA & IBF....

                the champs (HATTON & COTTO) at that time DIDNT WANT TO FIGHT MAYEATHER because they would have got their belts snatched....

                Cotto beat Kelson Pinto in 2004 for the VACANT WBO title..the defended it 5 times by the time Mayweather was @ 140 with him holding the WBC ready to unify....and thier promoter Arum didnt want too...

                Mayweather was forced to ditch 140lbs because THEY DIDNT WANT TO FIGHT HIM

                    Barrera was the absolute undisputed king of the featherweights yet he had no official sanctioning body title
