two questions here.
1= If he beats Floyd, will he stay at Welter, and try other top guys?
2= If he loses to Floyd, will he stay outta Welter and go back to 140 for good??
Floyd is about a 3:1 favourite in this fight. The reality is that he should be about a 7:1 favourite. This fight is a very bad mismatch.
If Floyd decides to win an easy decision, he will. If Floyd decides to administer an ungodly battering to Ricky, he can do that and stop Ricky in about 8 rounds.
If it's a decision, and Ricky just looks outclassed, then he will have some options. No shame in losing to the best. Perhaps Delahoya, perhaps Malignaggi, or Judah or some other "name". The winner of Witter/Harris would be available.
If Floyd does what he can/should, then Hatton's career will be in jeopardy and RH will have to go fight some overblown lightweights or gatekeepers back in MEN arena for a couple of tune-ups to reclaim his confidence. Delahoya is out of the question. Why would Oscar go face a smaller guy who had just been blown out badly?
Ricky's career is in Floyd's hands. It all depends on HOW Floyd decides to beat him. But on 12/9, Hatton is likely waking up in a local Vegas hospital. With his first loss.
You mean Like Floyd Fighting Sharmba Mitchell or even Zab Judah????
Hatton wins and rematches Floyd and loses the rematch in a split decision. He then fights a few more times winning them all then fights Floyd in a rubbermatch which he also loses (by ud this time) then fights one more time and retires with a record of, probably 47-2 in the process going down as one of the greatest British fighters in the last half century.
Hatton loses he fights De La Hoya and wins, takes a couple more fights and retires at 46-1 and takes his place alongside the likes of McGuigan as a celebrated British fighter.
If hatton wins i think he would consider retiring, i hope floyd has inserted a watertight contract with a rematch clause.
I hope the rematch clause says he has to come to england if hatton wins this one
I doub't he'll retire, cause losin to Floyds quick little baby fisted pot shots wont be as discouraging to him as most think. He'll keep fightin, but if he does lose...I really doubt he'll get in the ring with Oscar.
you are a very doubtful person :D
mark my words this is what will happen
hatton looses
cotto looses
mayweather/mosley
de la hoya/hatton
cotto/williams
winky/pavlick
THAT IS THE FUTURE OF BOXING
ima hold your ass to that shit homie
