    Who will fight who at 140?

    Cotto - Needs a superbout
    Mayweather - Beat Gatti, who wasnt a top fighter
    Hatton - True Champion of divsion
    Tyszu - Needs a comeback.

    Think people will ingore Mayweather longer because of what he did to Gatti?

          although Hatton has the main belt, few would argue that Mayweather is the best in the division at the moment. So heres what i would want :
          Hatton and should Cotto fight to determine the challenger to Mayweather and to unify belts. Zoo should retire- he aint beating mayweather or Hatton. Mayweather should fight the guy that beat harris, or harris if he gets a rematch and regains the belt, so the other belts get unified. Then there will be the superfight, which will be Mayweather v the winner (which will be Hatton). The winner of the fight (Hatton) will not only be seen as the best but will have all the belts aswell.
          It's not going to happen like that but i suppose an inmediate Hatton Mayweather fight will have to do

            Mayweather holds one belt, the WBC(Gatti held it before the fight).

            I didnt consider Gatti a real champion either, he won it against Branco who's ****. Its ok winning a title that way but you have to defend it against an elite fighter to be considered genuine, Gatti did that and got a beating.

                sorry, can we stop this "Mayweather is the man in the division" nonsense?

                I wouldn't argue for a second that he has more latent potential at 140 than Hatton but the fact remains that Hatton IS the man at 140 for beating the guy who had the linear championship. Mayweather is a talent, but beating a shot Gatti is arguably less impressive than the Mouser striking the Vivian mouse with his heavy claws. Gatti will go down in history, but he's clearly past his prime... Harris was supposed to be on his, and has held a belt at the weight for longer. Saying Mayweather is the man at 140 because of his talent and his belt would be like saying Toney was the man at heavy when he took Ruiz's belt. Mayweather and Toney probably could be the men at their weights, but the fact remains that they're NOT.

                So talk about "Ricky should fight for the right to box Mayweather"... besides, Mayweather's fan base is so small people would still be more curious to see Hatton.


                Lastly... Hatton's trainer went on record last night as saying he wouldn't fight Mouser, simply because they couldn't make that a match people would want to pay to see. Mouser's actually worse than these "bums" Hatton was supposed to have been fighting...

                  The belt isnt worth that much, none of them will take a pay cut to pick up a belt from a chump. The fans wouldnt pay to see it.

                  They will just wait until a half decent fighter picks it up and then take it from them.

                    That would be my choices. Mayweather vs Hatton and Cotto vs Tzyu.
