Hatton: "Pacquiao at 140 or De La Hoya at 147 Next"

[anonymousboxing]

Pacquiao please win, I don't want to see Hatton - De La Hoya!

You're not the only one. Pac/Hat would be nice to watch!

But it seems like something Oscar would take just for the doe.
Oscar needs to just get out. I was hoping Chavez Jr would step up in competition to try and avenge his Father against Oscar, but that's just fantasy now.

I wouldn't write Malignaggi off, so easily. Hatton's got a good test coming up. (so long as Paulie's hands stay intact he could win by decision)

dlh would fight hatton as long as hatton is coming off a win

hmm...well maybe Hatton & Pac both lose their next fight and square off to find out who the #1 loser is - hehe : )

I think there will be no Fhatton-ODLH "The Golden Crocodile" next year because Pacman will going to send ODLH into retirement with a broken ribs....

and probably Pacman will be the one to fight Ricky Fhatton on June 2009.

and another great boxer from Manchester with a huge fanbase will be retiring soon.

There was so much wrong with this that I will not even really comment on it, god bless.

hatton losses both

there are like 6 light welters that would beat ricky hatton right now imo. if judah moves down, make that 7. he's so far from pound for pound its a joke really for him to even mention being considered top ten, let alone #1. he is smart to want to fight pac or oscar on $$$$ alone. more power to him. if i was him, its what i would do...

Why would he not be considered for the P4P list? He was in there prior to the Lazcano win and was like 5th or 6th before losing to the #1 P4P fighter, PB Floyd. Hell, Hopkins has lost 3 out of his last 6, Both Marquez's have lost in their last 2 fights, Cotto lost his last fight and Margarito beat one name opponent in his whole career. Why would Ricky Hatton not be in the top 10 after beating Tszyu and losing only to the best? In case you have not been in the "boxing scene" in the last 4 years, Hatton is a Jr. WW fighter and only ventured up to WW for (2) huge fights. He knows what his best weight is, so why are we talking about (6) welters beating him anyways? Tell me some Jr. WW's that can beat him and you will make some sense. Get on the right page man.

When is Hatton going to realize that he has NO business fighting at 147. Also, didnt Hoya go on the record to say also say that Hatton has no business at 147?

Hatton himself complained about the fight after getting knocked out. He said he "felt the difference", and that was against another natural light welter in Floyd Mayweather! I can't imagine how he'd feel against Oscar.

anyone thinking Hatton can last the distance vs DLH is beyond insane.

Ricky was getting rocked at times and had trouble vs Lazcano.

DLH would easily be the biggest puncher Hatton's faced.

plus Ricky's punch resistance seems to have gradually deteriorated.

De La Hoya got put down by a weak ass body shot from Bernard Hopkins.

Hatton has always had a pretty steady chin. Maybe he hurt a little against Lazcano, but he wasn't knocked down or out of it.

Yes, De La Hoya is a heavy favourite but Hatton still has weapons at his disposal if a fight is ever made between them.

[ml2niceguy]

i would love to see either fight

[Zocalo]

For now Hatton should just focus on Paulie. But i can imagine Hatton Pacquiao could happen next year.

I agree. It really shows utter disrespect when you have a fight 2 months away.
