Whu Do People SAy Hatton is #1 at 140?

[dangerousity]

Because he's the man who beat the man. Simple as that, and like Floyd hes undefeated.

Mayweather IS the best, no questions.

Zoo was supposed to beat hatton he didn't, mayweather was supposed to beat Gatti he did.

Mayweather ****ing owned Gatti, HARD. That was incredible he punished Gatti all of those rounds.

I don't think hatton could do to Mayweather like he did to Zoo, MW is too good.

Right now, Hatton should just run back to England and fight bums again because his perfect record goes down the drain against MW.

Mayweather would destroy Hatton if they ever met in the ring. Hatton leaves himself way too vulnerable. Floyd would put on another boxing clinic. Hatton has the belts for now so he better milk 'em for what they are worth. I think it is a little contradictory to have Hatton listed as the best jr welterweight then have Mayweather listed as one of the best pound for pound. Hopefully they'll lace up the gloves and settle it once and for all.

That was explained, man. Listing on accomplishments at 140 Hatton has to be #1. Who would beat who at 140 is a different thing. I think Mayweather is the most skilled at '40, and you'd probably be ****** to deny it, but Hatton deserves the #1 ranking for his accomplishments as of right now. (Note: This does NOT change my views on the Hagler/Sugar Ray at middleweight thing from boxrec)

Hatton is just keeping his belt warm. He did beat Tzsyu but I think Mayweather would have beaten him as well. He's earned his ranking by beating the #1 and is very entertaining to watch but he certainly isn't better than Mayweather by any stretch of the imagination.

Exactly - being #1 in a division is a matter of what you have done in that division - not what you could do, or what you've done in any other division. As of now, you can't argue with Hatton being #1 - the only argument is over who is the best, and in that debate I can't see past Floyd

[Bad Intentions]

OK Hattons #1 at 140...But Mayweathers #1 P4P...Dont get it...If Floyd is P4P #1 over all boxers in every division then How the heck can u say Hatton is #1 at 140...But Hatton aint even in the top 5 p4p fighters...

[rudy]

this is just like Tyson vs spinks, until he beats the man Mayweather cannot be No1 and besides talking about who is number one means nothing until they fight ask Vivan Harris

I'd say it's because all of PBF's p4p ranking fights came at lower weights. The fights he's had at 140 don't get you the #1 p4p rating or even the #1 spot at 140, not when compared to the guys that Hatton's beat at the weight.

He's obviously the better all round fighter but it's still to be seen if Hatton's style and physical advantages can upset him.

[rudy]

p4p ranking does not mean "****" it does not mean nothing. THIS IS FACT RICKY HATTON UNDISPUTED 140 POUND CHAMP. FLOYD MAYWEATHER BEAT A PAPER CHAMP

[rudy]

The Other Paper Champ Was Vivian Harris Lol
