Thread: Who would you rather see Hatton face ?

I'm not really bothered about Hatton-Paulie as I don't think Hatton has much to gain from it. A showdown with Pacquaio will generate enormous interest and would be a bloodbath so I'd love to see that match up but apart from that the fights aren't there at 140. Do you think he should try to move to 147 again ? But maybe go for a shot at Paul Williams but with the height diffrernce that could prove difficult. What should be his next move ?

I think fighting guys coming up is the only way to go. Pacquiao is a good fight.

He'll get damaged at 147.

Im pretty sure hes done anyway.

I would like to see Hatton face Paulie, Paulie has developed a bit of a name at this point and beating him has some meaning at 140. I don't want to hear PAC mentioned with Hatton until AFTER we see how he handles Diaz at 135.

Ricardo Torres if he beats Holt in a rematch, thats the most entertaining fight at 140 and it would be a candidate for FOTY IMO.

Torres and Malignaggi are the only real options IMO. I'll take either one.

Torres might be worthy, as is Malignaggi. Neither are an event the size of a Pacquiao showdown though, thats what its all about now.

I hope Hatton takes Legacy over spectacle. If he fights PAC it's a lose, lose situation for him, if he wins or loses it's to a guy from a much lower weight class, even if he is the same size.

Hatton-Pacquiao should be a blockbuster. But no rush there. Most pacfans wanna see this fight late this year. But I'm not one of them.

Pac needs to test the waters first at LW. If he wins against D. Diaz by KO, and he KOed another LW belt holder late this year, then that'd be the only time I can safely say that he's difinitely ready for Hatton.

Hatton-Williams at 147 is too freakish to watch because of the height differencial. That's a tough one for Hatton. I don't know if he would want that.

So to answer the thread question, I'd rather see (in order)...

Hatton-Mallig
Hatton-Bradley
Hatton-Pac

I want to see him fight Oscar

You just want to see him look like he fell in front of a train

I'd love to see him fight Juan Diaz or Torres. Fighting Paul Williams would be suicide. I think his days at 147 are over.

Surely Oscar is to big for Hatton to face. That would be embarassing for Hatton.

The winner of Diaz/Katsidis would be an interesting affair.

Ricardo Torres deserves a shot although he's never expressed interest.

Hatton would be too small for everyone at 147.

Torres
Bradley
Pac

either of those 3 is a lot more intresting than PM.

I dunno. Hopkins has made quite a name for himself beating up smaller men. Same rules have to apply to everyone dont they?
