Hatton needs PBF more than PBF needs Hatton IMO. It will play itself out one way or another. But whatever does happen, no one can blame PBF if this fight does'nt get made at this point.
To be honest fighting Hatton adds no more to Floyd's resume than fighting Baldimor or Gatti imo.

Honestly who even cares about Hatton? I'd rather see Floyd in with Cotto, Margarito, Mosely, Ouma, Karmazin, Spinks, hell even Mayorga or Vargas.

And u gotta be honest. Even if ur not a beleiver in Hatton, do u really beleive that this would be the same as a fight vs Baldomir or Gatti?
Once it's all done and over I think that is exactly how it will be viewed. Remember Gatti had a huge fanbase who were deluded into believing he could outmuscle Floyd and Baldimor was the undisputed linear champion at 147 with wins over Judah and Gatti.

It's only the complete ease with which Floyd beat them that clouds judgement in retrospect.

We've seen the same again already with his win over Oscar.

He fights Hatton, he beats him easily and people will just say Hatton was an overatted, over protected European fighter who was way too small for Floyd and that in taking the fight he was just avoiding Cotto or Mosely.
