Hatton v DLH??

I guess there are several opinions from the RH v FM fight

Dont get me wrong, Hatton was totaly outclassed, i thought Mayweather would win by 3-4 rounds. BUT, rather than conclude Hatton simply wasnt good enough etc, i would argue that perhaps Mayweather made his most impressive performance so far?

Im not saying Hatton would beat DLH, and its clear that Hatton isnt as good (or indeed even close at 147) but i wouldnt assume DLH would win easily, just on the basis of the Mayweather fight. I think it would be a close one...and very exciting too

Id like to see Hatton have a break then Maybe take on Witter before a DLH moneyspinner

thoughts??

If Oscar can't pull the big left hook off Hatton on workrate and body shots to take UD12 only at 147lbs he should'nt even try 154lbs

De La Hoya would murder Hatton

I don't think the DLH fight will ever come off, if it does and Hatton wins, he'll be labellled a genius and an all time great, when (if he does) all Hatton will ever have done is beat an old DLH, and old Kosta and got a right good beat down from Floyd Mayweather.

Hatton is way too overrated, he struggled in his first jump to 147, was outclassed by Floyd, and has no option now but to fight Witter...because if Hatton chooses either Paul Williams or Miguel Cotto, it'll be lights out.

Oscar would win easily inside 3 rounds for me , Hatton doesnt have a prayer.

Hatton is a great fighter, and since he came up short against the P4P best fighter in the world now all of a sudden people don't wont to give him a chance against anybody. I think Oscar would win this in a close UD because of size not skill. In the later rounds when Oscar would fade Hatton would be all over his ass.

I thoght before the Mayweather fight that Hatton would give De Le Hoya a beating but after Dec 8th im not so sure, I think it would be a close fight. I want Hatton to drop back down to 140 wher he reigns and belongs. Bring on Malagnaggi & Witter!

I actually think that Hatton would have a real chance here, purely because I doubt Oscar's ability to make 147 healthily. If Hatton was able to land body shots on a weight drained DLH, I think Oscar would be in trouble. It is a risk however, and he's a much better fighter at 140. Now he's lost, I think that puts Witter & Paulie in the frame as legit fights. Both are complete tossers who need to be KO'ed anyway, so he'd be performing a public service.

I just see the bigger Oscar catching Hatton on the way in , and bingo its goodnight Ricky.
but hey id be happy if Hatton did win the fight , just cant see it personally

No mate, not anybody, just big lumpy welterweights.

Oscar would be in a hurry and Rick wouldnt be able to keep him off. Hatton would be sparked out again, this time sooner.

I don't know how much more clear I have to make this to people.
Oscar at 147 is suicide for him. If Oscar does comeback at 147 I would honestly tell you he's no longer doing it for him for his legacy. He would be doing it for #1. Money and #2. More Money.

He can not make 147 without risking it all, Oscar walks around 170 on the norm hitting 154 was not bad for him but trying to hit 147 he'd be killing himself. I'll say it again Oscars fighting for the wrong reasons now. I thought he was smarter then that and he'd know when to walk away but apparently he's not.

CC for telling it like it is about your favourite fighter. Oscar would kill himself making weight,no-one would really want to fight him for legacy,it would be purely for $$$ and I also personally think,if he wants to fight Hatton at 147,he would just be taking advantage of a smaller fighter who can obviously not fight effectively at 147.

I agree. No doubt Oscar is the better fighter even at his age but at 147 he would be drained and I think he would have his hands full with an agressive fighter like Hatton. At 154 Oscar destroys Hatton, but at 147 though Id still favor Oscar it could end up being a mistake cause win or lose hatton will make him look bad and so will the weight loss.

.....would be funny to see Cotto crack Oscar in the ribs a la Hopkins and knock him out


As for a fight with Oscar vs Hatton.....why the fuck would I want to watch that????

It's funny how all of a sudden everybody has abandoned Ricky Hatton

Not a fair fight, Hatton cant handle the 147 lb division and INo should stay at 140 and rule it

Oscar by easy KO

I don't understand how Hatton is all of a sudden overrated etc. just because he lost to the best fighter in the world. True Mayweather put a beating on him, but there aren't many, if any, fighters from 140-154 that Mayweather wouldn't beat convincingly; and as soon as he beat them I'm sure they would become overrated as well ::**.
That being said, as long as making the weight doesn't kill him, ODH would KO Hatton. He's just too big.

why not stay at 147 and grow in to the division you know like other fighters do and stop whining about size?

Oscar makes 147 and he's beaten by nearly anybody as he is so weakened.

However we all know the golden boy is clever.

I feel he may sign the fight at 147. Hype the fight bigger than the 5th may. Psyche Hatoon up and maybe insult him. Just make Hattoon want to kill him. Then on the day of the weigh in come in at 150 or so.

Hatton's pride and the promiises he makes to the fans make him carry on with the fight...

Could happen

I think Hatton should stick to 140 Unify the division as he is a huge draw now.

Just stick to 140 and cement a legacy there.No point in Hatton doing anything at 147..the Division is just to strong.

Agreed Tins. Thats what i've been asking oif him.

By all means take a fight with Juan Diaz if he feels the need to hav a superfight, but 147 is not OK for Ricky :(

Hatton is no way near as affective at 147lbs he should drop back down to 140lbs.He stepped up a weight to fight the best p4p fighter in the world and showed he is a warrior with a good heart and made floyd fight which alot of opponents have'nt.There is no shame in that and for him to be suddenly overrated is harsh.

Fighting De La Hoya is a bad step for Hatton the golden boy will be to big for Hatton and will stop him early.Hatton takes alot of shots to get his own off his shots will have no affect on the bigger ODLH where Hatton will be affected by the shots of ODLH.

Oscar is annoying with his attempt to find a Mayorga esque prop up to a big fight career see off....Hatton should play no part in it.

I didn't abandon Ricky Hatton, I am simply realistic....FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR was bigger and outmuscling Ricky Hatton....and you want me to WANT to see a Hatton-De la Hoya fight?!?!?!

It's not that I don't like Hatton (never considered myself a fan but I do watch his fights when they are on) I just think it's a horrible style matchup for Ricky....Oscar is too big and too strong and Ricky doesn't deserve a big money megafight since he lost vs Floyd.

Ricky should fight Witter OR Zab Judah those would be good fights

If they fight it'll be at a catch weight of 150. De La Hoya would come in around 158 or 160 and would just murder Hatton.

I would have to agree VD (hey, that rhymes :)). That being said, I am so sick and tired of Oscar being in the fight game, making all these millions of dollars, while fighting "safe" fights and not risking himself or producing exciting, interesting fights. I swear I won't pay for another pay per view he headlines unless its against Cotto, because in that case, I will be paying to watch Cotto.

First off, many were never really sold on Ricky, especially after his fight with Collazo. Second, I don't think people have abandoned Ricky. I think they have abandoned Ricky as a force at welterweight. He's really a force at 140, where I want to see him stay.

I take it you are not a Hatton fan.

Not a fight i'd want to see..either hatton would be fighting higher in weight than he should or oscar would have to come way down, leaves to big of and excuse window for whatever fighter looses.

I don't hate the boy. But seeing him get knocked out was pretty fucking cool.

Take a look

I wouldn't mind see it happen again.

here here styles make fights and ricky is made to order for de la hoya or anyone with any skill level really. hes half dlh's size and wont be able to bully dlh if mayorga couldnt come in swinging and bully dlh then ricky has no shot ...plus mayorga has a tougher chin than ricky and dlh hits harder than floyd

dlh will spear him with the jab and crush him with a left hook and kayo him inside 3 or 4 rounds no prob

Only reason for Hatton to take the DLH fight is for $$$. Does nothing for either fighters legacy - one moving too far up in weight, the other too far down.

Would like to see Hatton move back down to 140 and clean up the division. Two good fights in Malignaggi and Witter and I would pay to see them before a fight with DLH.
