I've never been super super high on Hatton, but the 03-06 Hatton would beat the fuck outta both Fimo and Taylor. I'm positive of that. This 135-140 era is weak compared to having Hatton, Cotto, Tszyu, Floyd, Castillo, ect., around.
Hatton was good. He just had two elongated phases of relative mediocrity that people recall ....the Mickey Vann/WBU days of Ben Tackie or Vince Phillips on one hand, and the Urango/Pacquiao days. Truth is when he beat Oliveira and Tszyu he'd have been way too much for a birdbrain like Lopez.
REED Will Table His Thoughts Until AFTER Taylor vs. 'Fimo... As of Now, There's NO Tangible Evidence or Logic for Picking 'Fimo Over Hatton...Need to See More @ '40... REED
