Hatton's future: Should he look to unify or chase money may?

[Nicky_Hatton]

.I don't know man. Pauli is tailor made for Hatton imo The guy can't test Hatton's chin and Hatton will just belt that body and head with hooks. I deffinitelly think he can prise the belts from Torres and Holt (although Torres gave Cotto all kinds of problems in fairness).

Oh, seeing him fight pacman would be amazing. My money would be on the pacman, you can here Jim now. STRAIGHT LEFT FROM PACQUIAO, HATTON IS HOLDING ON HE IS HURT HE IS HURT. then Emanual chipping in 'Ricky id deffinitely hurt...' lol

It's funny that as I think the opposite lol.

I think keeping Hatton on the outside with the jab would work well, it's proper fast followed up with the right ideally would cause Hatton some probs. Also you'll have to bear in mind that Hatton's head movement and defense is questionable compared to a normal Paulie - his is good.

Secondly Paulie's trainers seem the type to devise strategies for fights, and instruct there fighters - something Graham never seems to do which would work against Hatton.

I think if Hatton kept those hands up he';d have a good chance, and I'd definitely favour him based on the two's perforamnces yesterday. Paulie has looked pretty impressive so far, apart from Yesterday - you could question his opponents though. (Cotto) Maybe they made him look too good.

Anyway it'd be a quality fight, and I think it could go either way.

As for the Pac Man fight that'd be quality, again Hatton better use some defense or face getting clocked with a huge left.

Hatton should stay away from Floyd, he has no shot at beating him.
He should stay at 140, and get credit for beating Paulie even though he cant take care of Lovemore Ndou.

He should unify and then face Floyd. Actually no he should face Floyd and then unify, if he loses at 147 he will still keep his belt and he won't have to end his career on a loss.

Personally, I believe Hatton can unify the light-welter division. I know that a fight with Mayweather is obviously the money maker but I hope for the sake of Hatton's health he chooses not to fight him again, Mayweather is too slick, too fast. It would really mess Hatton up WHEN he got knocked out again.

I don't see why he doesn't try to unify, I really believe he could do it and can sell however many tickets he wants whoever he fights!

I think it would do well for Hatton's legacy to try and pick up all the belts at light welter, or at least go down fighting for them, imo. More repsect in that then getting one right on the button from Money May again.

Discus.

(Although I understand he had held the IBF and WBA belts before).

hatton should unify and then look to fight pacman, katsidis, juan diaz, etc.... once they move up. hatton should stay the **** away from floyd or any other welterweight.

Hatton outweighed Floyd on 12/8. How would the fight be any different if they both made the 140 limit? Please explain.

The 140 limit is easier for PBF than for RH.

Because Hatton is stronger at that weight and Floyd is slightly weaker than he is at the heavier weight. What exactly needs explaining here?

general agreement: Hatton would be respected if he unified, su****isions cast over Graham and Hatton should stay the hell away from Floyd unless he wants to end his career quickly.

[pesticid]

I say fight Torres if he beats Holt. But he'll probably fight Malignaggi but afterwards he could fight the other champ or Bradley. I know Oscar wants Floyd for him, but Oscar wants the dough.

How do you figure that out , Hatton might appear stronger with smaller fighters but Hatton was the strongest he has ever been against Floyd and Floyd was a pound lighter ,,, Floyd is deceivingly strong , his middleweight sparing partners said that publicly during the leadup to ODH , Ricky said straight after the fight how suprised he was by Floyds strength ,,, your applying Hatton pushing around not so strong fighters , KTs trainer has openly said KT is not physicly strong , Floyd will beat Hatton worse at Jnr Welter that stands out like dog balls, even more so after Lazcano showed he can hit him cleanly and Lazcano is not up to Floyd knee in ability .

[MakeDamnSure]

I've read somewhere Hatton said he can beat Margarito..

How about Margarito vs Hatton at 147..?

Hatton unifying would be the best idea
