PBF doesn't get enough respect for his fights. You only have to look back over the pre-PBF fight here to see that over his past few fights people are always going on about how this was the fight he was going to loose. Against ODH, there were plenty of fans here who backed against him, but then when he won it wasn't because he was better, its because ODH is worse.
But on the same token I do agree that there are the fighters out there that could make him a legend if he wanted to, but he would have to sacrifice a lot of money!! I think a lot of these top other fighters really don't want anything to do with him because there is a more than realistic chance they will get a "L" on there record which would set them back. The obvious way out would be to price themselves out of the fight.
If I was a top fighter and I truely believed that could beat PBF then I would take a pay cut, give him the majority just to get the fight on. After winning I would get all the kudos!!! Billy Graham believes that Hatton could easily beat PBF, so why not take the pay-cut and beat him? Can you imagine how big he would be then, a legend to boxing fans!!! Took a pay-cut to make the fight that the fans wanted to see, a fighter who proved that he wanted to fight the best and has beaten "the man" twice!!
