Hi B@rr3r@ and welcome to the forum. I agree it's great when the best in each division fight each other but I think it is happening a lot now.
Mayweather hasn't ducked anybody. People say Hatton but really Mayweather is just thinking bigger than any one fight and going or a legacy along the the lines of Leonard and De La Hoya. He wants to be a 5 weight world champ so he was never going to hang around at 140 when he still had 147 and 154 to conquer.
Now he's beatne Judah, who up until January this year was unquestionably THE man at 147 lbs he will already be looking at the likes of Mosely and De La Hoya en route to a climb up to 154. I don't think Hatton is getting a shot at Mayweather any time soon.
Personally I'm not too bothered, I'm not nearly as optimistic about Ricky's chances as everyone else. Mayweather is a different class altogether and wins a hard fought but unanimous decision against a gutsy Hatton in my book
Margarito really isn't anybody. He's a big puncher who looked great in knocking out Kermit Cintron and he was powerful against Michael Gomez but he's nothing special as a boxer. Slow and wide open, Mayweather will pick him apart like he did Coralles.
To me Margarito is just a fashionable name that's being bandied about right now, he doesn't figure in the welter scene beyond being a possible road back to redemption for Zab Judah I think.
