A repeat of Floyd-Zab would be an interesting fight though it would probably be a repeat. Thing is, about this last, with Roger Mayweather in the ring and his hands around Judah's neck - probably didn't materially affect the fight, but sure makes the waters muddy.
Zab's a heck of a fighter, dominated the first couple rounds. Why was he unable to continue that? Was it Floyd's body work that broke him down?
At any rate, nothing real wrong with a rematch though probably not a lot of point to it.
Hatton now. The notion that he should increase his name recognition to make it a bigger fight ... that's an interesting take but seems more about marketing/purse or manipulating the history books than boxing per se.
Hatton has the heart/determination that Judah lacks, and plenty of energy in the ring. Floyd had to adjust to Judah to begin to assert his dominance. Would he have an opportunity to do this against Hatton?
That said, I think Hatton will want a fight or two this side of the Atlantic before encountering his greatest boxing challenge.
Mayweather-Margarito, good; Mayweather-DLH, I have no problem with it; I'd like to see Oscar bring himself back and give it a try. Big fight, good money in it, all the things Hatton supposedly has to wait for just a bit. And no one has proven that DLH is over the hill. That's just speculation based upon probability. I've never been impressed by the ability of statistics to predict the future. Always been impressed by the ability of statistics to describe the past.
PBF - DLH, sure, why not?
