Hatton lost obviously
but he ain't Done
he fought at a weight class where he's never fought before and against the best fighter out there
hes probably going back down light welterweight where hes still champ i believe (IBO?)
who is there to fight? will he be able to fight a top contender or will he just regroup fighting low rank ppl
he sure still has a lot of fans
He will go back to Jr Welterweight and fight Junior Witter in the UK.
Just go back to light welter and own that division. I don't think there are many people, if any, that can beat hatton at light welter, although pbf would beat him at any weight, but there isn't no shame in that!
And get knocked out again. I really think Witter is heavily underrated.Quote:

There are a few good matchups, Witter, Rees, Malignaggi, possibly Juan Diaz. He could win all these and not get hurt too much.
147 is just too much for him and i think he should steer clear of the big guys in the division.

Although Hatton is coming off a knockout and Witter can bang a bit. But Hatton takes a punch at 140 far better than at 147 and, barring any psychological damage suffered from the knockout, I would think he'd be too much for Junior in hopefully another all-Brit classic!
Unless he wants to give WW a 3rd chance and go challenge Mosley
What would be the outcome? Hatton KO Mosley?
Yeah. I guess that's a good point. I think Hatton should seriously fight a tuneup with a fringe contender at 140 just to get some confidence back then move on to Witter or Paulie.Quote:
