Thread: if hatton was to return who is he most likely to fight?

The only one of those options that is realistic is Khan. ODLH v Hatton would be a complete joke of Floyd & Manny's leftovers, & Oscar & Schaeffer are too smart to do it. Floyd has NO interest in fighting Hatton unless its a warm-up fight to add on his popularity in the UK, but I don't see it. Marquez has no interest if he beats Floyd obviously, whilst if he gets beat he goes back to his belts at 135 with his reputation intact.

Khan is the only other possibility, but I think his speed beats Hatton. I think Victor Ortiz & Bradley both beat him as well, although IMO Witter won't be an issue after Devon Alexander beats him. I think Khan is the most likely because that could be the biggest British fight since Benn-Eubank & would do better financially than even Calzaghe-Froch

Anyone can get a belt these days I don't think it makes a difference at all whether he retires with one.

It will make a big difference... Hatton is planning to promote boxers when he finally retires... It's much nicer to tell and motivate your boxers that you retire a champion than being so mum about your very last fight where you was laid out flat on the canvass for a few minutes...

Champion of what? The only way he could get a belt is by cherry picking one from a poor fighter. How is that an example to anyone?

Your so full of shit you don't even know it.

Everything you say leads to nothing........

Well Hatton to me is done and never really reached the great status. I dont think he is above the likes of Bradley at all. I mean hes been clearing the division while Hatton been getting his ass kicked all over the place. I pick Bradley by a ud hell think even a shot Dela Hoya could beat him.

Winner of this, well if he'll move up to 147

And as for the whole hatton-witter payday thing may i please ask both you numbskulls why exactly you think hatton should take 1-2million domestically to fight someone he has so little respect for when he could quite easily be heading back to vegas before the years out to earn 3 times as much fighting someone of genuine quality.

Demise once again you prove you are full of hot air!

no chance ? do us a favor break, down your idea of a fight between Bradley and Hatton.

Regarding a Hatton - Witter fight, there is no doubt that fight would of sold especially in the U.K because of the rivalry between the two and what would be at stake.

I doubt you will see many more people wanting to go to Vegas to watch Hatton get KO'd again . His paydays against top fighters are over imo.

You seriously believe that HBO/vegas would turn a blind eye to another hatton vegas spectacle.

Even after getting pelted twice the man is still the most profitable entity in the sport and the 20 or so thousand brits he brings with him means big bucks even for a place like vegas.

Before this fight was talked about it was well established that team hatton had had talks with dubai investors willing to pay him millions to fight over there.

Even after all that you still believe hatton should swallow his pride, endless counter millions and even taking himself out of the public domain in america just to fight someone because he "doesnt like them"

This is the same stupid nonsensical crap as when people were going on about why joe calzaghe should fight carl froch on itv1 rather than head to the states for a megamillion HBO PPV showdown with roy jones jnr!

boxing just like any other sport is a business

Roy Jones is bringing Money to the table to this day.

Who is Hatton gonna fight now who can do decent numbers?

No one. NO ONE... Its pretty much over in that respect.

So he might as well pay Witter to fly over to Vegas and jump infront of them HBO cameras and get it on for the fans.

Its no worse than any other scenario...
