Thread: Oscar to fight Ricky Hatton

http://www.sportsnut.com.au/category.php?intid=7

Oscar De La Hoya plans to continue fighting and has targeted Britain's Ricky Hatton for a possible clash next year.
"There's been rumblings going on about it," said the Mexican-American multiple world champion, known as "Golden Boy", of a possible Hatton bout.
"I respect Ricky Hatton. He's a great fighter, he's a great guy. If that fight does get made, fans all over the world will be ecstatic. They will see a fight. Ricky Hatton comes to fight. And that's what I love. If we ever do it, it will be a heck of a show, that's for sure."

Hope this fight happens. I'm tipping Oscar. Bigger and a better puncher

It'll be interesting to see if he's serious or if he's just bluffing.

There are a lot of rumors that Oscar is talking about a Hatton fight in order to mess up Hatton's negotiations with Floyd. That would push Floyd into a fight with Mosley, which is what Oscar wants, since Oscar promotes Shane, and a Mayweather-Mosley fight would make Golden Boy a lot of money.

In other words, the plot thickens

Hatton would definitely have to move up in weight for that fight. Cause DLH ain't making 140! After he was talking about Floyd having to make 140. Would be huge though! If Oscar is trying to mess up Floyd/ Hatton then either way the fans win. Mayweather/ Mosley is still a great match-up!

I'd be happy if this fight were to be made, although not as happy as if the Floyd fight were to be made.

Hatton has never ever ever said Floyd has to make 140.

He did so, I read it on Fightnews about 2 weeks ago. Saying that if he wants the fight he's gotta make 140!

Anyway...Oscar is to big for Hatton and would KO him.

Yeah sorry bro, didn't realize he only wanted Hatton at that weight! My bad!

also don't forget, DLH has an advantage over Mayweather in talks of getting the fight, what advantage you may ask, well none other than Hatton's new best friend, and current goldenboy fighter, who will be taking on the #3 P4P fighter in the world, Marco Antonio Barrera. Don't tell me that Marco can't sway Hatton's decision in favor of his boss and promoter DLH, plus DLH/Hatton would put a lot more money in Hatton's pocket, although i'd give him less than a 10% chance in any form of winning, IMO De La Hoya destroys Hatton, and well it wont be pretty either

It could have shades of DLH Gatti about it in terms of the difference in size.

Thre maybe the slimmest of chances if Oscar is practically a bag of bones at 147...but I'm grasping...

well from what i've heard (i believe they even said it on HBO) that Oscar is walking around right now at about 155 or so, and he's never really out of shape (aside from the Sturm fight), so it's not really out of the question for him to get back into welterweight picture

155!?!

Where's the info from?
