I disagree. Oscar was a big jump up for Floyd and Oscar was much bigger. Obviously there was alot of money, but Floyd risked much getting into the ring with him. I don't see Hatton being the most imposing physical challenge, he is shorter in heigth and reach and is only dangerous with one punch really, that killer left hook downstairs. Floyd will literally inhale Hatton and make Hatton look like he fell into a tree shredder. I have massive respect for Hatton even taking this fight with Floyd and am excited about it, but Floyd had other options more dangerous than Ricky to play with: Cotto, Mosley, or even Williams or Margarito.
