Hatton was a pretty decent boxer (look at his fights before Tszyu) he got into that holding style and it worked for him, but then he came up against Mayweather and he was doing alright for a while until he got tired and desperate. The Mayweather fight obviously took a lot out of him mentally and his punch resistance was on the decline. He changed his style a bit with Mayweather sr and tried to box more, he looked great against Malignaggi but that was because Malignaggi couldn't hurt him. The Pacquiao fight was a disaster and he got completely humiliated, no version of Hatton would have beat Pacquiao but the Hatton that fought Mayweather would have gave a better performance.
Hatton was a good fighter and is overrated by most Brits but underrated by a lot of boxing fans.
