I remember how huge this would have been on this board right after Hatton beat Tsyzu and Floyd beat Gatti. I guess its not quite as big as it was then but still a huge fight.
I think the fight then would have been much better than the fight we'd see now, Mayweather had a much more exciting, crowd pleasing style when he was at 140, the way he's been fighting since the Gatti fight makes me think Hatton has an even better chance, cos I think his effective pressure will win the rounds like Oscar was doing in the first 8, except there'd be even more of it.
Hatton bringing constant pressure could bring out the exciting side of Floyd. If he's gotta work harder to keep Ricky off.

Then again when Floyd's fought big strong pressure fighters lately he's been very conservative, see second Castillo fight, Baldomir. But Ricky should be able to get in quicker than those two, Baldomir's just a plodder compared to Hatton, or anybody really.
