Neither is among the list of my favorite fighters (understatement), but I'd have to pick DLH over Hatton, hands down. No way Hatton is close to being in DLH's league (I can't believe I said that).

Unless it was a pie eating competition or a game of darts I'd side heavily in favor of De la Hoya beating the crap out of Ricky.
It's not that Ricky Hatton was a bum or anything, but as has been mentioned before he never stepped it up until late in his career and even then he never came close to fighting the quality of opponents that Oscar fought.
Ricky Hatton vs Miguel Cotto at 140 or 147 or somewhere inbetween would have been one hell of a scrap and in a purely hypothetical bout Ricky Hatton vs Carmen Basilio would have been AWESOME.....but I still think Ricky gets beat in both of those.
Ricky Hatton vs Gatti, Ward, Augustus would have been just incredible fan friendly fights and Ricky would have to be the favorite in all of those matches. Ricky vs Zab would have been interesting as well.
