    I can honestly see him moving back to 147 now. If given enough time to grow into 147 and get used to the weight then he would surely be a challenge for the top welters.

    Cotto Vs Hatton = FOTY.
    i hope cotto-hatton does happen but only if theres plenty of notice and hatton gets the time to prepare properly and build himself into a welterweight instead of just looking like a pudgy lww like he did against collazo.

    and i reckon mayweather would be tempted out of retirement to take on the winner.

      The history books will say Hatton beat Castillo in 4 rounds and that PBF couldnt stop him. What Hatton did to Castillo, PBF shoiuld have done to DLH!

        My Opinion hasn't changed..

        I am in No way a BIG fan of Ricky Hatton..

        But I respect what he does.. and He does it well..
        and he has always done it THAT way..

        I dont know what some North Americans Thought when they heard about this guy.. But I dont ever think he was Billed as The next SRR..

        He is a Brawler.. The only thing setting him apart from a 1000 other brawlers.. is his Ring INTELLIGENCE..

        I am SOOOOOOOO 100% positive if he was American .. he would be adored..

          I could see it gettin real rough like, both are bull strong and dont take any **** on the inside!
          Yeah i think Ricky should have a tune up fight to adjust to the weight 1st if he duz move up, at 147 he has to be about as physically gifted as u can get tho dont he!?

          bring it on clottey - hatton firts then cotto..

            Hatton looked horrific against Collazo ( Body ) and was moving at about 0.5 MPH, yet still grinded out the win against a former light-middle but some choose to ignore these facts.

            I, for one, am supremely confident that hatton could grow into the 147 division and do well, but there will be some tough match-ups.

                Hatton moved up and won a close deserved decision against a good slick boxer in his first Welter fight. I have no doubt he can do it again.

                    Hatton before his career is finished might go even for a 3 weight champ. He might fancy a light middle belt.

                      Respect must be given to Hatton. A KO win over Castillo has to be respected. I don't like Hatton much.

                      But you have to respect that.
