All of the above, I guess. I gave Hatton no more than a 5-10% chance of beating Floyd. I give Pacquiao a better chance than that against Oscar.

The fact we have to see Oscar competing no where near his former greatness to have this fight be a cracker, means there isn't many ways you can look at it without considering it a B grade matchup.
I think this is very fair and an accurate statement. Don't disagree at all. However, there is a big difference between calling it a B-grade matchup as opposed to referring to it as a circus fight that is disrespectful to all intelligent boxing fans. It's people who are saying the latter that I don't agree with.
Well i guess we just disagree about what is a "B-grade matchup" and what is a joke of a fight. By joke...do i mean Pac will look like an amatuer against Oscar...no. But the weight and size difference, along with he FACT that both these fighters have much more relevant and exciting fights to deal with (fights in which they will get plent of money and exposure for)...does make this fight a joke and circus for me.
