Out of all the fights that make sense for Mayweather at this point, Hatton is the one I would most like to see happen.

If he moves up again to fight the likes of Wright, Mosely or Oscar, a loss would not be surprising and in a way not defining, except to say he has an upper limit. Just as Oscar's loss to Hopkins didn't diminish Oscar in my opinion.

Of course, if Mayweather stepped up and beat those folks, it would be different - but not too different. He'd have to be hitting and running in his best known fashion, and he'd not get his props - even though that would be the right way for him to win.

But against Hatton at 140 or 147 or in between ... a defining fight for each fighter. Hatton would pressure him hard, and if Floyd could still hit and run his way to victory, it might not be considered so boring. Floyd would have to score well and still move against Hatton's pressure.

Hatton does get hit, though, by lesser boxers than Floyd. I expect a Hatton loss.
