I take nothing away from Collazo but he lost.
Now what do you think about Hatton/Judah, Hatton/PBF or Hatton/DLH?
OK

Hatton-Judah: this all depends on which Zab comes to fight. Zab COULD easily outpoint Ricky by staying on his bicycle and using his speed. BUT seeing how Zab "Lord of the Dance" Judah takes people lightly on a regular basis I see Ricky hurting him to the head and body and the ref stops the fight. But this could run the gammit from draw to Ricky via KO or Zab via KO. A GOOD match up of styles because Zab doesn't like pressure fighters and Ricky apparently doesn't like slick boxers.

Hatton-PBF: Right now or in the future I see PBF winning via TKO cuts. Now the crux of the fight is whether Ricky can land on Floyd, I think he's a longshot to KO PBF based on the wide punches he threw but also based on the work he USUALLY does inside I think he could KO Floyd if, IF he fights correctly. Worse comes to worse it's a boring fight with PBF jumping in and out landing at will and Ricky swinging for the fences.

Hatton-ODH: Biggest mismatch of the bunch. Ricky is trying to get used to 147 and ODH has been hit by Trinidad and Hopkins and he LOVES guys who try to brawl. Oscar wins via TKO just like vs Vargas or Mayorga but earlier.


The BEST matchups at this time are as follows.

Hatton-Gatti
Hatton-Cotto
Hatton-Baldomir
