Hatton Targets Winner of De La Hoya-Mayweather

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

In a recent interview with Ant Evans of Eurosport, IBO junior welterweight champion Ricky Hatton stated that the winner of the May 5 clash between Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather, Jr. should face the winner of his June 23 bout with Jose Luis Castillo. And, he would like for the winners of both bouts to meet before the end of 2007. [details]

Oscar-Hatton is damn near impossible. Could Oscar make 147? He was having trouble with that years ago, no?

Is Hatton hoping Floyd wins then? I can see The Paler being able to beat Floyd (note: I am not saying he WOULD), but he'd have no chance against The Acting Amigo.

I'm awaiting the word pwn.

Maybe Hatton thought Hopkin's body shot ko of Oscar was legit and he could have him out of there on body shots alone.

This is why i cant stand htton, he should keep his big mouth shut. He'd go up to 147lb to fight oscar but he wont go up to 147lbs to fight Cotto. He is a wet vagina and needs to quit jawing so much cause he keeps puttin his foot in his mouth.

thats a good observation, but i dont think we should be comparing bhop and ricky. i personally think that while ricky would lose to oscar, he has a stylistic advantage over floyd.

Of course he'll go up to fight The Acting Amigo. Even if he gets put on his back he'll be rich.

Does this mean we should start asking the question of whether we want to see Hatton embarrassed by Floyd or KO'd by Oscar? Ricky has zero chance against Oscar and even less against Floyd. If one of these fights does go down, then all of the UK boxing community is going to commit suicide. First Audley, then Hatton. Calzaghe would have to KO Godzilla to lift their spirits after that.

I am in complete agreement, i want oscar to beat floyd but i dont want hatton to face oscar because as you said stylistically hatton has a better chance against floyd than oscar.
