    You know if Oscar was to fight it again it would never be at 147lbs

      Nothing to prove, just an occasion to get enormous amounts of money on a non dangerous fight for both, 90,000+ fans from UK get to see 2 of the most popular fighters of this era.

      Both won't be destroyed, Hatton ain't dangerous at 147, De la hoya ain't dangerous at 147, before Pacman destroyed both there was a possibility of them fighting but never happened since they were victims in Pacmans plan.

      People here seem to think the fight will be somewhat relevant, No, it's just a good way to end both careers, with the loser going away with 10mill+ and the feel good of not going out with an embarrassing loss and having 90,000+ fans cheering for you!!!

      - You say Hatton should fight Khan which would be big but then again not alot of people in the UK appreciate Khan as much as they should (1st round KO adds to this) good for boxing fans.

      - You say DLH should of fought 1 more bum to end his career, or go to Wembley 1st time ever fight in front of 90,000 fans of both and have it out with a broken Hatton.

      It's an exhibition match, everyone wins, if you don't care don't pay attention, but I know I would travel down to London to see it.

      both retire afterwards.

        This would be terrible for boxing. Too shot fighters just risking their health for money. No chance of it happening, thank God

          What a worthless fight that would be made solely to stuff more money into Oscar's and Ricky's pockets.

          At the very least, I hope we get to see Mrs. Hatton bawl again. That **** gets me hard.

            I'm sure DLH would take a last fight to end on a high since his ending with Pacman left a sour taste.

            Then it's at Wembley, a sell-out, make alot of money.

            Nothing to prove, just a fitting end to both careers where fans can see one of the best (debatable) boxers from UK and De La Hoya.
            dlh shouldn't come back

              I don't think Oscar will try to make 147 again, which means Ricky will have to jump to 154 at least.

                    Rofl trust me, he can make that weight, in fact he will have to come down from his weight now to make it.

                    - to other posters

                    Dangerous, money... smells like Roy Jones, Morales, Jab Judah, and a rumoured Tyson comeback.

                    Here's where I laugh.

                    HATTON gets KO'd by both P4P#1, DLH gets beat one by SD(debatable) and manages to take manny to the later distance yet he's more shot than Hatton??

                    There both on the same level, but I'm bored of this thread now. DLH shouldn't come back but if he was it would be Hatton he would be looking for I would imagine.
