Thread: Hatton-De La Hoya in Ireland???

Family from Ireland phoned today and said rummor is that Hatton-DLH is going to take place in Ireland in the spring.


You heared it hear first.

wow that a shock if is true

lets hope so

I hope that Hatton isn't doing a Calzaghe and going for old fighters. He already has an old Tszyu on his record but to be fair Tszyu was still the man to beat in them days so he can't be blamed, but Oscar? That wouldn't be right!

I'd put a few quid on that happening if Manny doesn't change his mind. Ireland has a massive chance because the tickets would be priced in Euros, not British pesos.

croke park and 120,000 was mentioned a lot over 2008 for a hatton-mayweather rematch.

Ive got a sneaky suspicion hatton is already signed to fight back at the MGM on May 2nd despite the pacquiao fight breaking down.

As was Hopkins at light heavy

Ricky must have one eye on retirement.

Oscar will still draw a massive audience by whatever time he fights again the Pacquiao fight will be forgotton and he is still Oscar, he wont make the same mistake of coming in so ridiculously light again and will be much stronger, so Ricky will only hurt his name by struggling with a fight Pacquiao hit at will.

Ricky should make the Marquez fight, he'll get alot of credit for a win over Marquez, well, alot more than a win over De La Hoya.

Oscar getting these fights without deserving them just makes me want to vomit!!

You said it man, ODLH PLEASE RETIRE!!

At least hes helping the economy, getting people spending, how many other boxers could do that?

The American government will make Tyson have another comeback and they will conspire to make sure he has a fabulous winning streak, to get everyone spending again.

How has Hatton deserves these fights? Getting ko'ed by Mayweather? Beating Paulie and Lazcano?
