    I dont care about who PBF fights really. Just Hatton. He cant avoid Hatton b4 he retires. Im quite excited by DLH and Mosely would be interesting. Baldy, Castillo didnt excite me really as opponents.
    But he must fight Hatton. Then i will lay off PBF.

      The problem is Hatton wants nothing to do with Mayweather for next 2 years, at least.

        No...i think Hatton would be happy with sometime late next year, or early 2008. ODLH excites me but lets face facts, he is past his prime. Hatton and PBF is the natural fight.
        And again, this cannot and should not be a fantasy fight people are talking about in 20 years time. There could be no excusing it. SRL got his ass in the ring with Hagler. Duran got in with Hagler and Hearns and Leanourd and vice versa. We dont have to talk about fantasy fights between them because they got the fights made.

          Hatton moved down from 147 to stay away from Floyd.

            Can you please post the link where he specificaly said that? or are you just speculating? PLUS alot of people will argue PBF moved up to 147 to get away from Hatton

              Hatton is at 140 and is terrified of 147, Floyd is fighting his next fight at 154, and willl probably stay there for Spinks. I honestly don't see this fight happening.

              I give Ricky credit, he knows his limits, and knows that Mayweather is completely out of reach and out of his league. I honestly believe that despite all the "Oh yeah, yeah some time in the next 85 years I'm going to fight Floyd Mayweather, I know how to beat him! Just give me another 39 fights," he actually has no intention on getting his ass schooled.

                No, he moved up to 147, chasing Mayweather, since Floyd didn't fight him at 140, where he was champ. He moved back down because, judging by the Collazo fight, the extra 7 Lbs were just too much for him to carry.....at least that was my interpretaion of it.

                  no offense, but your "interpretation" is usually pretty far off considering you thought Baldomir would give Floyd a good fight and that Peter would KO Toney.

                  Hatton ran from Mayweather, and it's not a debate anymore. it's a cold, hard fact. Mayweather offered to fight him in November 2005, and Hatton fought Maussa. Strike 1. Mayweather wanted to fight him this November, and Hatton said he wasn't ready or whatever. Strike 2.

                  Should he even get another offer?

                    Too much issue made of weights and it dont mean anything. The 2 men should agree to fight and in discussions decide what weight it is going to be at! Whether Hatton weighs 140 now or PBF154lbs dont mean nothing.

                    Maybe Hatton should offer PBF a fight sometime next year. What will PBFs reaction be i wonder?

                      Oh great, the residential "expert" has decided to speak.

                      Whatever you say.
