Well, I think Hardy's got enough power in his striking and clinch to have a surefire FOTN war with Lytle and his size at WW puts him in a pretty great position with both Serra or Lytle, however the difference between a potential loss to Alves and one to Lytle or Serra is that Alves cripples Hardy with aggressive legkicks and bullying clinchwork and makes him look foolish en route to a second round stoppage, whereas I think he either finishes both Lytle(who's never been KO'd but I think he's due if he goes any higher in skillset) or Serra(who's striking is OK, but his range and technique is pretty spotty, especially at WW) or decisions them, or at worst, loses a hard fought decision and isn't terribly exposed as not a top tier WW, as he definately would against Alves.
