De La Hoya-Hatton Makes No Business Sense, For Golden Boy

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The UK media has jumped on the theory that Ricky Hatton is now the frontrunner to become the next opponent for Oscar De La Hoya. De La Hoya was scheduled to face Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a September rematch. Those plans came crashing down when Mayweather announced his retirement last Friday. In the next few days, Richard Schaefer, CEO for Golden Boy Promotions, is going to reveal De La Hoya's next opponent. [details]

They can take their fancy suits and go **** themselves. Barrera looks like a ****in idiot in that suit.

Hatton-DeLaHoya would of been the worst mis-matched fight of this era. Same goes for PacMan-DeLaHoya.

This would be a bigger joke than Oscar vs. Gatti was. It's like a giant vs. a dwarf and the little guys only win in the Bible where it doesn't count.

Even ESPN agrees with me! hatton needs a win over pacman to seal his deal for the hall!

Ricky Hatton

After a stellar 2005, Ricky Hatton, right, seemed destined for greatness. Since then, however, Hatton's legacy has taken a hit.
England's wildly popular "Hitman" looked like a lock for Canastota after his '05 campaign that included a beatdown of Kostya Tszyu, but his string of underwhelming performances since has "unlocked" him.

Hatton could use one more Hall of Fame-bound name like Tszyu on his record, and the best candidate close to his weight is Manny Pacquiao.

But Hatton, who appears to be flaming out at 29, could also clinch a spot with just a little more longevity. One more full year as undisputed junior welterweight champ, pushing his reign to four years, would be helpful. An upset loss to Paulie Malignaggi in November, on the other hand, could be devastating.
