Come to think of it, in a way it reminds me of when Tito was moving from 147 to 154 to 160. His first fight at 160, he devastatingly KTFO'ed William Joppy, a highly recognized MW champion. Tito fans (myself included) started thinking PAST Hopkins (big mistake) and toward Roy Jones as an eventual huge fight for Tito. Well... we all came crashing down when it became apparent that Tito was out of his league against the best 160-pounders.
If Pac beats Hatton, he'll go looking for other big guys, and will eventually make the mistake of fighting a Cotto, a Mosley, or worse.
