It says Hatton would be lining up a shot at becoming p4p no.1. Beating Oscar (which I don't think he would) would not do that. Oscar hasn't been anywhere near no.1 p4p for years now so how would it make Ricky the top dog?

Certainly beating a man who was once considered no.1 for a short while whilst the world was sulking at RJJ about 10 years ago cannot make you no.1 in the world. Thats like David Haye KOing Evander and then being recognised as the best heavyweight in the world.
