I like Hatton hes a good lad and hes good for the sport but I'm afraid his best night came already when he faced Tszyu. I really hope we get a chance to see at least 2 more performances like that out of him, but honestly mate I don't think we will.
Hatton was a maniac that night, I can't tell you how many times I've seen that fight and thought of the possibilities if he did that every outing?
I just don't think he will.
Thats stupid to say Tszyu was his best night. Mosley was written off by everybody until he showed Vargas how to fight. Now everyone loves him again and thinks he's not washed up. Jermain Taylor didn't look great in his last fight, does that mean his best days are behind him? Ricky just hasn't looked spectacular. Apart from Collazo, I can't think of anyone who's come close to getting to him. He beat Maussa with a clean punch to unify. He outboxed Urango. They're not great fighters I'll admit, but nobody else wanted to fight him.

I don't think his bones alone weigh 147, sorry to dissapoint you people but it ain't happening. Theres better chances of seeing a elephant ride a unicycle then that fight.
Oscar weighed in at 151 within this week..And thats when he's trying to make 154.. A week away from the fight and with 3 pounds leeway im confident that oscar could boil himself down to 147 for ten seconds :)
Also..Regarding hatton - oscar..
That is a true superfight in my eyes.. Its fights like that that would cement both fighters legacies barring a total domination from the opponent..
I mean.. Perhaps the american audience dont get it just yet..But im confident that he'll win alot of fans come the castillo fight and then the american audience will truely be wanting the oscar fight..
Just the match up in style and the whole concept of the fight is huge..
Guess i can only hope for the best
Peace

Hmmm maybe he'l fight you next then.

Re: HATTON v DE LA HOYA at Welterweight is on the cards
Aside from the chances of this fight coming off being so incredibly slim, does anyone honestly think Hatton would stand a chance in hell?? He would get a terrible, terrible beating from Oscar.. To think otherwise is really out there imo... I mean come on, as if Hatton even has a style that would suit him well against DLH.. His fight game plays right into Oscars hands. A considerably smaller guy with little pop or speed at the weight always coming forwards with leaky defence who is seemingly on the decline ::** Yeah good chance for Ricky ..... If DLH couldn't make 147 anymore, he could chop off his right leg and I'd still favour him to put a beating on Hatton..

I think your spot on if im honest but at least he'd have a real go in the process.
Re: HATTON v DE LA HOYA at Welterweight is on the cards
This is a fight that would never come off. Hatton made a mistake going to 147 and Oscar would make a mistake going there too. The paths are just not on the same trajectory...

If I'm honest... I think that this fight would be about as competitive as if Gatti and Edison Miranda fought at a catch weight of 154..
Re: HATTON v DE LA HOYA at Welterweight is on the cards
Hope we get to find out one day 8)
Re: HATTON v DE LA HOYA at Welterweight is on the cards
I really hope not.... Oscar is not going to be around for many more fights and there's far more intuiging bouts for him(or Floyd) at 154 even imo, let alone at welter..
Travis Simms
Kasim Ouma
Spinks
Karmazin
P Williams/Margarito
Cotto
Mosley
Clottey
Cintron
Judah
Just don't see where Hatton fits in. He'd lose to every single one of those guys.

Re: HATTON v DE LA HOYA at Welterweight is on the cards
hatton can devise a strategy to avoid a jab and left hook, hatton would win
Re: HATTON v DE LA HOYA at Welterweight is on the cards
Hatton could'nt fight his way out of a wet paper bag he ain't crap but he sure ain't great he is like Calzaghe fighting people who make him look good
Re: HATTON v DE LA HOYA at Welterweight is on the cards
Hatton sucks and got a gift against Collazo. At least he has the balls to take on an over-the-hill Castillo stateside and not in the Ricky UFC ring of Manchester. I wonder if he'll resort to throwing elbows again and hanging on after every combo like the little stool licking homo that he is. O0 ;)
