Hatton since being blasted by PBF doesn't do much for ODH's legacy. I'm not sure who he is going to fight but much like most of Oscar's recent fights it will be to maximize his legend and tilted in his favor.
If ODLH wants one more defining moment in the sport.
If ODLH wants to be remembered not just as a promoter but as a great fighter
Surely beating britains sporting icon, in england, infront of 80,000+ would top anything he could ever hope to do against cotto or marg

I'm not saying it wouldn't be a big fight or a mega media event. Depending on what Ricky does from here on out will greatly depend on how it effects ODHs legacy. All I'm saying is that with the onesided loss the PBF at this moment I don't think it fits Oscar's criteria. I didn't think of Mora but that does seem more like the kind of fight that Golden Boy would take at this point in his career. Is it a better fight than Hatton? No, but like I said Oscar is going to try to maximize the impact on his legacy RIGHT NOW. I think its either Mora or Winky.
