I've just been looking at who else is in the division and there's not as many as I'd previously believed. What's the deal with Castillo and Corrales? They're the division below and Floyd Mayweather has come up, right?

Did you get to see Corrales at ringside in the US? The interviewer was asking him if he'd fight the winner, and while he was interested, he didn't take it seriously that it could be Hatton.


So based on who's presently in his weight division, I can only see two guys potentially giving him problems after last night: Floyd Mayweather Jr and Junior Witter. Much as I like Gatti, he's tailor made for Hatton, and after you've taken shots from Zoo, punching power is not to be overly feared. But slick boxing will do the job.

Freitas? I don't know him I'm afraid, any good? Cotto showed he can be hurt last time out. Harris ducked Hatton already.

Harris probably feels real stupid right now. He should've taken the Hatton fight. Now no one will fight him because he turns down fights. The only fighters I see beating Hatton are Mayweather, Witter, Cotto, Castillo(maybe, now sure). Hatton easily beats Corrales, Gatti, and Chop. Corrales needs to stay at 135, because his chin won't hold up at 140.

I'm not saying Hatton will or won't be Cotto... only seen the guy once. Hatton isn't really a one-punch KO artist, he's more of a pressure fighter. But with a "fighter" as opposed to a boxer you'd have to give Ricky a chance.

Cotto might be bad news fo Hatton in my opinion. Hatton should fight a different way than he did last night becuz, Cotto is the shiznite when fighting on the inside! Addin the fact that Cotto hits soooo ****in hard (no homo *****es!)
