Although Gomez's power at 140 is yet to be seen, this wouldnt be a terrible matchup. Hatton is not a huge puncher and they both fight at round the same pace.
However, I do also believe this fight shouldnt happen until late 09 earliest as Gomez does need to prove himself at 140. He should start with a high level tune-up just to see how he fares in the division. Someone like Francisco Figueroa, or hell fight David Barnes on a Hatton undercard. Someone on that level. If he pases that test, a high level challenge, the likes of Paulie, Torres, or Ngoudjo. If and I do mean IF he can do that, then he can get a crack at Hatton. IMO...
