    Hatton can choose to get knocked out by Chico, take a dangerous fight with the winner of Mayweather/Gatti or fight a big name that he should really beat up on. Sounds like Hitman has an easy choice and Cotto should be his next opponent. Harris turned down a fight previously and is not a draw whatsoever so I doubt he'd even be considered.

      I think that pbf is the better fighter, totally, he is my #1p4p

      BUT
      pure boxers don't do to well against pressure fighters
      AND
      mayweather is smaller

      so can he do what pea did to jcc? maybe, but the fight would take place in england, and pea did not get the win!

      as of today I would bet on hatton, wanna see how pbf looks in his next fight

        Hatton Will Never Be Consider A Great Fighter Until He Beats A Top Fighter Outside Of England....he Is Too Protected....the Fight Versus Tszhu Was Not A Boxing Match But A Wrestling Match...he Used His Head Many Time And Threw Rabbit Punches With Very Little Warning..in The United States He Would Have Been Deducted Points For Using His Head, Rabbit Punches And Constant Wrestling(holding And Punching)....tzshu Was Admirable But Hatton Was Not Impressive At All...i Would Become A Hatton Fan If He Would Fight Outside Of England For At Least Once In His Career..chico Or Mayweather Would Never Go To England To Fight So Hatton Will Never Prove Himself Until He Loses His Manager ...

            If Hatton wants any respect and a real career (fighting top ranked fighters) in boxing he will have to fight outside England. This is a given.

            He was lucky that Tszyu went to England. I guess the money was right. But if it were my decision, I would have said come play on my turf.

              As Mayweather would say "easy work"

                ha Hatton would not be able to beat Mayweather. Right now Mayweather is so talented and fast etc that he would give anyone severe problems at 140 pounds and I dont see anyone there beating him. Cotto would give him trouble only because Cotto is truly a 147 or possibly 154 pounder who is killing himself to stay at the weight. (But then again all of arums fighters start ten divisions below where they truly belong just ask Eric "Chewinggumatweighin" Morales.

                As for Hatton he truly does need to leave Englad to gain some mega fights and also to get off of his mommas titty. You cannot stay sheltered in Englad forever being protected by mommie. This kid is damn lucky that the champion decided to fight him on his terms who ever heard of the champion allowing the challenger to dictate the terms.

                Taking Nothing from Hatton he did the two things he needed to do to win the fight
                1. he kept pressure on tzsyu who doesnt like high pressure fights. he likes to dictate the pace and keep it at a certain speed.

                2. He used the European lack of a third man in the ring to his advantage. hey if there were no referree I would mimic Johhny Ruiz just like Hatton did. In fact if you all looked closely when they focused in on Hattons training room I think John Ruiz was his chief second lol. Meaning that all the grabbing and roughhousing would have been killed out by referees here.

                Hatton has however put himself on the map but even if he wants to leave England I dont think he will... His promoter is so protective of its stable of fighters that they actually stifle their carrers by being so ridgid and never letting them leave the nset. If hatton drops his promoter then maybe he can make some noise. although I dont see him beating Floyd, Corales, or Castillo.

If anything, Mayweather will be the one boxing and goin to the ****in body over and over. Mayweather has stamina and is fast as ****, against PBF, that pressure will be the death of Hatton
                  Nah he will not stand there, he will run and look good doing it. Hatton is not gonna stop and I feel he can get to Mayweather. This is a close fight but when in doubt, styles make fights and speedy boxers do not far well against swarmers. Got to love this weight class with not only loads of talent, but young talent to boot
