He made mayweather extremely uncomfortable,
totally disagree. Mayweather was caught off balance for a second with a jab in the first round and that was the full extent of his uncomfortableness IMO. he went on to hit Hatton with about 30 counter hooks. 'extremely uncomfortable' might describe the Castillo fight but not the Hatton fight.
Well, that's not how I saw it.

Hatton's career was very overrated.
Fought a bunch of no-name bums and schmucks up until Tszyu.
Great performance against Tszyu, but he got lucky in fighting Tszyu at the perfect time when he was fading but still good--if he didn't lose to Hatton, he was gonna lose against the next credible fighter he fought.
Then he fought a bunch of no-name bums and schmucks up until Mayweather humilated him and Pacman humiliated him.
He has one good name on his resume in 45 wins.

I think the level of Hatton has been thoroughly debated on other threads. I think you’ve definitely over-stepped into a troll mode here though.
