    Hatton is the CHAMPION of the division. Hatton is the MAN of the division. Powderpuff is a toilet belt holding challenger.

    Pac is not just a "blown up superfeather." Pac is a boxing GREAT.

    What i'm saying is - it's more significant for Hatton (star) and Pac (great, star) to fight than Hatton (star) and Powderpuff (dodgy hairdo, decent champ).

    Again.. say Hatton beats both. When assessing Hatton's career what order will the wins be ranked in?

    Powderpuff above Pac? Only by the deluded.
    So your going to claim that should Hatton fight and beat Pac, that people will not come out and say that Pac was too small?

    Or of course if Pac beats Hatton, people will not say Hatton got beat by a fighter that won the Superfeather on a MD earlier this year

    Being great does not make size irrelevant.
    Floyd Mayweather Junior is a great, but it doesn't mean he could win a Lightheavyweight title.
    Of course people will say Pac was small. Pac moving up in weight has a ready made excuse should he lose, and should he win the Hatton haters will undoubtedly have a field day.

    BUT.. that's irrelevant to this little debate. In history Pac will still go down as Hatton's BEST win alongside Tszyu. Pac-Hatton will be a GREAT event/fight. And prove to be FAR more significant than Powderpuff-Hatton will EVER be

    (by the way, Pac won that SD against a fellow GREAT fighter JMM. It is hardly a shame to BEAT a GREAT, whatever the weight )
