Exactly. The problem for Hatton vs. Collazo was that Collazo was a big, natural welterweight. Floyd is a lightweight, so the weight isn't going to be an issue one way or another. Hatton likes to maul people, so he has to be careful about fighting at 147 and pick his foes carefully. Guys like Margarito, Cintron and Williams must be avoided. But the likes of Cotto, Mosely and Mayweather all started in lower divisions, so he'll be able to stick to usual gameplan (not that he'd prevail necessarily, but his style simply can't work against naturally bigger men).
