There was me thinking the only reason Ricky was movin up was to chase Pretty Boy. Ricky knows that will be his biggest fight, money wise and with cementing his career. Pretty Boy moved up long before Ricky, and in recent interviews (except for clearly this one) has ducked any questions about a Hatton fight. I believe Floyd is attempting to delay a fight with the Hitman because he knows Ricky's style means his prime wont last very long (see Barry Mcguigan). Before Ricky can face PBF i see him jumping to junior middle to fight some other meaningless paper titlist to secure some dream of his, a dream that will be false anyway. Ok he was a legit titlist at at his first two weights, but during his "reign" at junior welter Kostya Tsuyu and Ricky were the recgonised champs. If he takes the belt off Judah (who was disgustingly allowed to keep belts because Baldomir cant afford the sanctioning fees) he will again only be a paper titlist. Doesnt PBF see he HAS to fight Hatton for people to stop questioning him? If he continually dodges him and other fighters like Margarito (and a more formidable Castillo moving to junior wleter who would love to face Floyd again) then this will hang over his legacy forever.
