Now there's so many great fights at Welter, one being Hatton vs PBF, not Hatton vs old man Oscar
Oscar beat Mosley the second time, He beat Mayorga which was important enough, and he also gave Bernard a pretty good fight before size overcame him.
It was somewhat contreversial, but Oscar did lose that one to Mosely. My point though, right now Floyd is the best fight out there for Ricky. I really don't get too excited about Oscar fighting Hattonn.
I don't think Oscar could make 147 anyways.. But for you to call it Hatton vs old man Oscar is underselling it a bit, since DLH would clearly be the favourite if it were to happen... Are you trying to say your so sold that Hatton would win, and that's why it doesn't excite you?? Weird, I think it would be a much more competitive fight that Hatton would have some chance of winning compared to if he fought Mayweather.. Especially considering Oscar probably couldn't make welter without draining himself badly. But Id still favour DLH by a wide margin.
Actually it's been said that Oscar is going to campaign at 147 in his next fight and many think it will be against Oscar. I just think of the 2 Ricky should fight Floyd, I mean Floyd did win the fight against Oscar, and Floyd is the WW champion.
