Ricky Hatton is dreaming of a megabucks showdown with Oscar De La Hoya once the 'Golden Boy' is through with Floyd Mayweather Jr on Saturday night.

Both De La Hoya and Mayweather have hinted they could retire after their superfight here at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

But the two men have also been quoted as saying they'd like one more bout, against the undefeated Mancunian light-welterweight king.

Hatton, given the choice, says he'd plump for a meeting with the 'Golden Boy'.

Earlier this year De La Hoya said he'd be happy to move back down to welterweight if Hatton moves up, a prospect that intrigues the British superstar.

He said: "I don't think they have made their minds up yet about retirement. They talk about retiring but the next minute I read on the Internet that they want one more fight and they'd both like it to be against me.

"I think they've seen my fights. They see what I bring to the table as far as the whole package is concerned, in terms of fan base as well. I think the fact they're considering one more fight and they want it to be against me speaks volumes for myself.

"If I had the choice I think I'd like to fight De La Hoya. He's just a massive massive name. He's not just a modern-day legend, looking at all the world titles he's won, he's a legend. He's said he'd come down to welterweight to fight me if I move up."

I think DLH would destroy Hatton within 8 rounds,ur thoughts?

DLH by destruction...

[Technical_Skill]

Lol, is this ****er still talking?

''I wont unify against junior witter at 140, 147 is to big for me, but i'll fight DLH @ 154''

lol.

I beg Hatton shuts the **** up, he is a waste of valuable air, if anyone sees him open his mouth,

Fiill it with a cream cake, so i dont have to see anymore threads about who he supposedly wants to fight.

He dont wana fight no one.

lol.

Really don't know if De La Hoya could make welter.

If he did he'd be weakended I'm sure, and Hatton batters him.


Man imagine this fight at the City of Manchester Stadium (Manchester City FC), literally all Man City football fans know Ricky Hatton and most are Ricky Hatton fans, not just fans but die-hard fans. They could sell 30,000 tickets at the least, because Man City have a fan base of 60,000+. And De La Hoya has that massive Hispanic following, so combining it would be awesome.

[PosterBoy]

this dude went back down weight after fighting collazo what makes him think he can go back up weight to fight DE LA HOYA???

what a ***

[squealpiggy]

Of course he wants to fight De La Hoya for a big money battle. Can you imagine Hatton / De La Hoya in Wembley Stadium, 80,000 paying fans, a million pay per view buys?

If he said that I wouldn't be surprised.

De La Hoya really enjoys fighting guys smaller than he is..

Are you also over at Ricky's site?

It speaks volumes about what DLH thinks about Hatton compared to Floyd. Oscar wouldn't go to 147 because he knew it would almost guarantee Floyd a victory. He'll go to 147 to fight Hatton because he knows even though he'll be weaker, he would still destroy Hatton.
