Pryor by a late round KO, Hatton's stamina and strength may match Pryor's but power and the combinations of Pryor make the difference and Pryor stops him.
Duran by a close, clear unanimous decision, His constant attacking fail to hurt Locche but gives him most of the rounds.
I am torn on this so I will give it to Chavez on a TKO by cuts.
Whitaker by close decision, he boxes well but Pacquiao's aggression makes it a close one.

Pryor would embarrass Hatton... It would not have been close. (Off topic, but wasn't the whole issue with Pryor-Arguello supposed to be a water bottle laced with cocaine?)
I am having trouble with Duran - Locche... I don't think that Duran did anything all that impressive AT 140... In fact, he never won a title at that weight. But I obviously haven't seen Locche fight, so all I have to judge him on is what I have read. Even still, I will go with Locche in a close MD here. There are just no impressive names on Duran's resume at 140.
Gotta go with JCC here... Even though I though the draw against Whitaker was a gift, as were his win in the rematch against Randall and his first TKO of Taylor... He still had the goods and would have been too much for Loi.
Whitaker over Pacquiao all day long... Too good defensively and too slick offensively... Many would have been confused.

I will go with Ricky Hatton by DQ after Pryor fails another steroid test like he abused them when fighting arguello whether you want to admit it or not.
I will go with Duran on this one. Duran was an absolute monster at lightweight and is arguably the greatest lightweight of all time. He never lost at lightweight and only lost after moving up in weight frequently.
Next I'll go with Mexican Legend Chavez. All aroung I think Chavez was too good for loi in his prime and would take him to a unanimous decision. Loi had no power as evidenced by fifteen knockouts in 115 wins.
Lastly I'll go with Whitaker. Whitaker was a great figher that held his WBC title for four years before losing it to DLH. DLH and Trinidad were the only fighters to beat him in his prime and look at how those guys were in their glory days. Whitaker wouldn't have that other loss on his record had he not gotten into cocaine towards the end of his career. No disrespect to Pacquiao but a win over an old and done DLH does not make you a good welter. Try fighting Margarito or Cotto and then we'll talk.

wow ricky vs Pryor very interesting! Hawk time vs "only one ricky hatton" thats a tough one. Hatton may have been able to stay w Pryor at 140 pounds! Pryor may have broke down because he wouldnt have been able to keep hatton off him.
