    Right now, there is no King of 140. Yeah, Hatton beat a faded Tszyu, but just because you beat the man doesn't necessarily make you the man. Until there is a unification bout between all the belt-holders, then there can be a King of 140.

      The king of 140 is Hatton; he beat the king. He's the king.

        There are only other belt holders because of KT's injury. Hatton's top dog until someone else proves otherwise.

            The one that kept him out of action for 2 years, shoulder I think.

              To say that Hatton's the king of 140 is a gross overstatement. Was Buster Douglas the man after he beat Tyson?

                The thing that makes 140 so special is that there is no man of the division right now

                They're all fighting for it...

                Hattons style was just perfect to beat Tszyu, I see others beating Hatton..

                  Yes he was the man... The same way Hasim Rahman was after he beat Lennox Lewis!

                  You beat the champion and take his belt... You're the man! {fullstop} - (Even if it was a lucky punch.)

                    I dont think Tszyu was the man in the first place...

                      Yes, although most (me included) thought Tyson still was as he was grossly under-prepared for the fight and would kill him in a rematch. The same doesn't apply to Tszyu and Hatton.
