Attn: Team Mayweather OR Team Hatton???

[~*ThePuncher*~]

To be honest, I'm not a big fan of either fighter, but I don't think Ricky Hatton possesses the skill set to dethrone Floyd Mayweather and I personally wouldn't want Hatton to be the first fighter to defeat Mayweather... The only reason I would want Hatton to defeat Mayweather is so Ricky could then fight Oscar De La Hoya, and The Golden Boy could deliver Hatton his first loss... It is evident that Oscar wants Hatton, because of his desire to have a "classic war" before he hangs up the gloves, and Ricky is his prime opponent... A pure puncher that refuses to step back and he happens to be smaller than De La Hoya... On the other hand, I don't think Hatton will realistically defeat Floyd and I must root for the USA in Mayweather... Also, I would like for Mayweather to suffer his first defeat at the hands of body snatcher extrodinaire, Miguel Cotto, rather than Ricky Hatton... Which boxer are you rooting for and why?

Team Mayweather!

Because he is my favorite, nothing more.

win lose or draw vs Mayweather.. I would completly have to rule out De La Hoya vs Hatton happening.

Hoya had trouble with Mayweather because he had to "find him" ... Oscar would have NO such problems in regards to fighting Hatton.

Hatton vs Mayweather he at least has a chance of winning, because Floyd might not have the physical size, plus Ricky isn't exactly a slug on his feet.

Hatton vs Oscar de La Hoya. I won't make a prediction ... but Ricky's chances are at least 70-30 of winning (probably lower)

the Mayweather-Hatton fight is 55-45 ... with the Dancing With The Stars making Hatton's chances a lil better.

You don't think Hatton would risk a loss for $10 million? Hmmm, money talks. He also probably wouldn't have a care in the world of losing if he just beat P4P #1 Mayweather.

Why do you think that a De La Hoya - Hatton match-up can not be made???

Anyway Oscar is a nightmare of a matchup for Hatton, a much tougher fight even than Mayweather. In fact it's nearly impossible.

Agreed. Ricky Hatton should NOT be in a ring with Oscar Delahoya.

Ricky gets hurt badly.

$10 million. I just don't know man.

And don't you think he could be overconfident after beating Mayweather?

Anyone remember Vernon Forrest overlooking Ricardo Mayorga?

Paulie, Cotto and Oscar oh my! tune in to 2008

I never said De La Hoya-Hatton couldn't happen

just that if it did. I wouldn't like Hatton's chances as far as winning.

here's how I see hypothetically the outcomes ...bearing a Hatton win or loss.

he wins .. he'll fight the Mosley-Cotto winner. OR rematch with Mayweather (if Dec. 8th Floyd loses .. I could see Mayweather saying he didn't train enough ... obviously the lack of training would have to do with Dancing With the stars)

granted im thinking Mayweather pulls it out vs Hatton. but doubt me not, just from his talk he seems like ricky would be a push over

I know its just talk, but I just hope Floyd comes into the best shape, with the right mindset, and fights to the best of his potential.

regarding if Ricky loses. if the fight is ultra close. like a 115-113 split decision loss. I would think Hatton would decide staying at 147 is best .. and he would then go for Cotto or even De La Hoya (who ever is the bigger fight at the time)

if he loses more distinctively, and more unanamously .. like 8-4 or 9-3 (giving Floyd trouble at the beginning, but his stamina coming up short, and Floyd wins rounds 8-12 to pull away comfortably)

then depending on how pissed Ricky would be .. I could see Malignaggi or even yes Junior Witter.

cuz if you lose the biggest fight of the your career .. why not take out the biggest domestic rival?

hey alotta Hatton fans say Witter would be easy work .. so why not .. you kill 3 birds with one stone (not just 2) .. 1. you beat your domestic rival, and shut him up. (Witter can't talk **** anymore if Hatton destroys him right?) 2. you pick up the WBC belt (self explanatory .. its a prestigious title) and 3. getting the WBC title gets you that much closer to unifying (WBC champ .. he could then go for the IBF belt .. Paulie's)
