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

Lowered expectaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttionnnnss:

that brought me back.

I think you're underestimating hatton's hold n hit technique. he'll last longer than that.

True, I like Hatton. I dont think he would lose in that manner but would lose. Mayweather I think was the only one in reason that would expose of him like he did. Pac would just bloody him and and win UD while Oscar would win a UD...

But I like Hatton I just dont think he can hang with elite guys. Oscar is not so elite anymore but would still out point him.

How come no one ever talks about Hattons questionable fights he pursues..........like Floyd he looks to be going after the most money


oh wait.........maybe cuz all Hattons fans left when he got KOed by Floyd........seriously I havent heard anything about Hatton on these boards since then

Questionable fights?

The guy fought 3 Top 10 Ring Mag P4P Fighters in 6 fights including the No.1 and No.2. His other 3 fights were against World Champions.

Now he wants to fight the guy who the majority of people believe is the best in the world or a man twice his size at Welterweight again. This after taking on the best available challenger at 140.

Nah.......Ricky's taking the easy route.

atleast your talkin sense now. This is WHY I like HATTON and RESPECT him, but I still feel he cant hang with elite guys. But I do enjoy watching his style and wish for the best in his next fight with Pauli.....

I'm still NOT sure if he can pull it off.......

Hatton , oh Hatton and dad ray.....oh dear.Like a prevoius comment made I suppose they can't be blamed for being greedy but please at lease have a little prospective Hatton would/could never be considered the best fighter on the planet!! (pfp) even if floyd was to train him....behave

Wouldn't mind seeing Hatton vs Pac, but not DLH. If DLH keeps fighting, he needs to fight a top 3 WW or Jr. MW. Pac will beat the crap out of Hatton. Oscar will just knock him cold. Either way, he loses both by KO. Pac by 7th rd KO. His Offensive arsenal would be too much and Hatton gets hit too easy.

I love how everyone is so certain Pac would destroy Hatton. Based on what? Beating David Diaz at 135???

This whole jumping through 50 weight classes thing with Pacquiao has really clouded some people's better judgement, forgetting that size can make all the difference in the ring.

Anyway im glad people think like this, then maybe Ricky will finally get some credit when he beats Pacquiao.

[MJ406]

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.

[Southpaw16BF]

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

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?
