Although I am well aware that history has proven otherwise, I have a funny feeling that he might mean it this time.

PBF might have put a lot of weight on that performance against Collazo where Hatton looked on shaky legs at the end.

Hatton is also not what I would call a one punch KO threat. He has some pop, there is no doubt about that, but he is more of a smotherer and acumulation damage type of fighter.

It it is also possible that all the talk is finally getting to him and he feels he needs to perform for his fans. That could be the very reason why he chose to fight Hatton in the first place as he is the smaller fighter who poses the least threat to KO him.

All that said, I think it would be a mistake if PBF went after Hatton. I would not be suprissed if we see some fireworks early, PBF get wobbled and then box and cruise himself to a wide, yet shaky, UD.
