Hopes not good enough, hatton is not that hope. I've been studying tapes of both floyd and hatton. And floyd will beat hatton, he will beat hatton and as obnoxious as the floyd fans are here. Floyd may actually embarrass hatton. This could be a one-sided match-up.

All the hoping in the world won't help Oscar, just face Marg and shutup.

you had to review tapes to realize that elite?

Actually the more i look at the tapes, the more exciting it becomes. Floyd may win every round and it may be onsided as u said, but no matter what i think this is an entertaining affair

I really do think he hopes Hatton wins, in order to face Hatton, and beat him, which at 147, he does, in my opinion. It's better for him, financially and that's what he worries about most.

What a D... why would he want Hatton to win, Hatton didn't get him that $25 million in May... at least Mayweather's name is big enough for De La Hoya to cash in on.

Is there any good boxers that gve hatton a chance at all? Honestly, I give him 0 chance of winning this fight. And so do his own countrymen like Calzaghe or so I thought I saw an written interview that said Calzaghe favors Mayweather. Must suck when no pros in his own country even believe in him. And the pros that do believe in him probably suck ass. Hattos not a bad boxer, it's just that I haven't heard of any half-decent boxer saying Hattons going to win. Not one prediction favors hatton that I respect.

He is rich, he knows Mayweather will demand a larger purse for beating him and he won't like that. He also knows he could do to Hatton what he did to Mayweather, decide EVERYTHING in his favor, except for the location.

why would Oscar care who wins? isn't the co-promoter of the
fight not supposed to be bias?

I dunno what ya'll think but I see Oscar vs Margarito happening in 08
