I heard a rumour that Michael Katsidis is/was being lined up as a final fight for Hatton in the UK.
Yep I've heard that too... That's why Katsidis in the list... ;) That would be nice match up and Ricky might get that farewell win...Quote:

I like a matchup vs Katsidis or Witter. They should be easier fights than Manny and Floyd
Hatton vs Judah would'nt be bad
You got a point of not wanting a Hatton-Witter fight now... It would be a total disaster and embarassment for Hatton if he losses to Witter now...;) It would be like adding insult to injury...Quote:

Is Kell Brook an option??? I've never seen the kid fight but he's British and undefeated.
I swear it would be nice if he fought Ricardo Torres, a dangerous albeit limited fighter
I would love to see him fight Khan. It would also be a good indicator as to how good Khan really is. He's been saying he has been having the better of rounds with Pac in sparring.
That would be nice too specially if Khan defeats Kotelnik impressively like knocking out Kotelnik... What makes it more attractive will be the added 140 belt... Hatton could retire a champion...Quote:

Katsidis for me what a scrap that would be a would of picked hatton to ko katsidis but after the pacman fight am not so sure now.
I'm actually not too sure. Katsidis can punch and will be very confident. However he is one dimensional and if Ricky can take just a little of that Pacquiao defeat out his system he will be too good for Katsidis.Quote:

Glad to see his farewell fight will be in Manchester. I missed the Lazcano fight so I'll definitely be attending this. Manchester is only a half an hour drive from where I live.
It'll never happen, but Witter for me if he beats alexander. It would be an ideal fight for a title at 140 to go out on, but I don't think Hatton's ever been overly confident of a win with Junior.
I can't really see JMM wanting to bother now. Maybe Juan or David Diaz would be competitive for Hatton if they moved up.
