I saw Hatton fight Gilbert Quiros in 2000 when I was in Detroit for a training program. Got free tickets, so we went and checked it out.
Most casual fight fans don't know anything about Hatton, but don't underestimate him. Solid puncher, solid hitter, and if anyone is going to knock Tszyu into retirement at age 40, IMO Hatton is the guy to do that.
Hatton is a very good fighter, 39-0 I believe, (38-0? Don't have time to look, gotta leave for work) and been through every big UK prospect there has been. Micheal Stewart was supposed to be a monster, Hatton put him down in 5.
Tszyu is a vet, and IMO wins the fight, but if he comes in too easily with Hatton, he will lose the fight. I personally can't wait till Cotto steps up and fights Tszyu, but we may never see that in our lifetimes. =)
