This isn't a knock against Ricky but he's just completely out of his league with PBF. Not sure what the weight would be but I would imagine (correct me if I'm wrong) it probably be at 147lb, and if that's case...well, we all now how well Ricky did against a soft hitter like Collazo. What's next Floyd? You looking for Pacman next?
I couldn't agree more with everything said, Hatton is handpicked cause he is big news across the Atlantic and that is a profitable fight for both Hatton and Floyd. Remember that Hatton is a relentless pressure fighter and is tough as nails, he should give Floyd problems when he comes in cause let's not compare the reflexes, speed coming in and the energy keeping up the fast, hard pace in-fighting of De La Hoya with Ricky's but then Hatton doesn't have a chance at mid-range and from the technical POV... What transpires from the late WBC Commission resolution is that sooner or later the WBC Welterweight Champion should not be treated exceptionally and thus have to take the Nº1 Contender Frederik Klose or the Interim Champion Shane Mosley sooner or later... As Super-Welterweight emeritus Champ, Floyd can have a shot at that title when he pleases to and I don't think that's unfair for an undefeated former WBC Super-Feather, Lightweight, Super-Lightweight, Welterweight and Super-Welterweight Titlist, a 5 time and 5 different Divisions World Champ!
