Hatton versus De La Hoya could be in the works

[El Chicano]

The Brits are so exaggerated it's a miracle it's taken this long for them to start talking nonsense of a fight with Oscar being in the works.

Oscar has already said that he wont fight him, because he feels Ricky is a 140lb fighter. No ****ing way Oscar makes 140, and if he makes Ricky come up to 147, he will look like a money hungry hypocrite.

That was before Floyd retired and if Oscar fought Gatti and Chavez twice I doubt Hattons size will stop the fight from happening. DLH was 150 for his last fight and Hatton was 140, so if they meet in the middle at 145 it would make sense for both fighters.

How is this nonsense?

The Hatton/DLH fight has been in the works for close to a year and would have already happened if Ricky beat Floyd. Ricky then turned the Oscar fight down since DLH offered the Forbes fight at 150 to Ricky. Hattons team felt 150 was too high of a weight for him to fight at.

[Silencers]

I hope it doesn't happen, DLH would knock him out and it would be pretty one sided.

[Pugilistic™]

that is a silly fight that should never be made. If it did i could see de la hoya taking the W.

Right and I suppose you would be in a position to know what is happening ahead of a qualified journalist?

This would be a good fight, i can see Hatton workin ODLH body over and ending it like Hopkins... But **** if i had to bet id say Hatton by 11rd TKO!

No way. Hatton has a good left body shot but it definitely doesn't have the power that Hopkins had when he fought DLH. I reckon DLH would win it on points if they fight.
