I think guys like Cotto will run to fight Hatton now but I believe that Hatton's next fight will be against the winner of Baldy/Gatti and hopfully its Gatti. Hatton can make a boat load of money against Gatti and he probally thinks that Gatti is the easiest guy to beat out of the big names.
However after this fight Im not so sure that he could beat Gatti now. Hatton will get his but his style is made for Gatti. He comes right in and has no defense. Then you add to that Gatti is very heavy handed. I could see a blood bath where Hatton is winning rounds but Gatti is landing big shots and then KO's Hatton.
Hatton comes in chin 1st alot of times and with Gatti, he could stop Hatton with the shots that Callazo hit him with tonight. That would be a great fight that I would love to watch. I might still favor Hatton but its not by much even if its at 140.
People are saying things about the weight being too much for Hatton but I think he just fought the best guy he ever has tonight and atleast the 2nd best. It had nothing to do with being at 147. He beat Tszyu but he was getting older and after that he hasnt fougth a guy as good as Callazo.
Even at 140 this fight wouldve been the same. I mean even a lefty boxer like Mcgaee dropped Hatton and gave his some trouble. Callazo is him times 10 and Floyd is Callazo times 10. Boxers will give Hatton trouble but he kills guys who arent boxers. The thing is now, he will be fighting better guys so even if there not boxers he still wont run through them even at 140. It has nothing to do with weight. Callazo was just better then his previous opponents and so will Gatti, Cotto, or whoever
