IMO, Hatton's style--rough 'n tumble--has historically worn fighters out alot earlier than the finesse boxers, and Im not just talkin about wearing out the opponents! At his age, he is in his prime, and Im saying he should go for the glory now, not unnecessarily try to fight for more US exposure----screw US exposure, Americans are friggin in the dark about things anyway. All real boxing fans already know Hatton, so he shouldn't dick around fighting rematches or potential spoilers like Zab Judah or Carlos Baldomir. If he can beat Mayweather he can beat him NOW, not when he's 30 or more.
I mean, his style will wear him out as much as it wears out the opponent; those kind of brawlers don't have the longevity, so he better fight Floyd within a year and a half or he's in deep scheisse.
