He'll lose though His style is not effective at 147,the guys are just too big and strong. Guys like Margarito would annihilate him.

I never understood why it was such a ludicrous demand.

It would be PPV in America and the UK. Both undefeated. America against England. It is a marketing dream. Nice guy vs. Bad guy etc. Not to disimilar to Floyd vs. Oscar. It would make BIG $$$ and what does $13 million dollars translate to? 6.5 million pounds. That isn't a BIG ask for the biggest fight of his career. Floyd is P4P number 1 but Hatton is also in the top ten and the current recognised (ring) champion at 140lb. I just don't see it as a lot of money to ask for. Floyd would probably earn double it
