Although I didn't understand the majority of your post Boozeboxer,this one line is brilliant:

To elevate the classification of someone as being a p4p contender/elite based on division jumping alone is illogical.

The size difference satisfies me because Floyd isnt much taller. Hatton will get in close and bully to the body and Floyd will be on those ropes. Hatton is fast. Faster than many realise and this will be the surprise of the fight. Hatton is significantly faster than Oscar in terms of handspeed and footwork.

Hatton will surprise many in this fight.
I have to say,I think Hatton is going to make it harder than I originally thought. I don't know why,I just think his hit and grab style,constant mauling etc will make for a close fight. I still think Mayweather wins but I don't believe he stops Hatton like some do. I think it'll be a split decision. The only worry for Hatton will be who the ref is and how much infighting he allows. Any point deductions in this fight could be fatal.
