Worried, I'm not sure if that is the word I would use but Hatton should and I am sure will show Tzsyu plenty of respect, not too much though!

What about Aaron Pryor?

The problem as I see it, is that I would be amazed if Hatton could outbox Tszyu, and at some point I think Tszyu will draw him into a punching match.
Hatton will probably start well and maybe win the first 2-3 rounds with his greater workrate, but Tszyu will make adjustments. If Hatton gets forced on the back foot early, then I think it is over soon after, if Hatton survives the middle rounds he has a chance, IF and it's a big IF he has more in the tank than Tszyu down the stretch.
Despite Tszyu's age, he is in excellent physical shape, and trains very scientifically.
That's pretty much how I see it, I think stuff I read posted by Doodles on various sites about Hatton being ko'd in 1 or 2 is bordering on defamatory. If RH wins I'll be surprised but I don't think he's an easy nights work for Tszyu or anybody else no matter how you cut it.
An early KO for Tszyu is well possible, he hits like a mule lets see how Hatton takes the shots first I think he could well go down in 2 or 3 rounds.

Pryor throw punches in volume, He would wear his opponents down by throwing lots of punches and look on his record there are a lot of patsies. Tszyu has one punch power and KOs people that have never been KOd before.

In Aarons defence he was a small Light-Welterweight and only moved up as he could not get a title shot at Lightweight.
Which makes his ring achievements even more impressive in my opinion.

Aaron Pryor is the best lightwelter I've ever seen. I think he'd have had too much for even Tszyu. Not a huge puncher though.
And even though he never won the title at 140, Alexis Arguello was probably the single hardest hitter to ever stop off a 140.
