Who's next for Hatton? After the failed Pacquiao negotiation.

If the winner of Diaz and Marquez comes through with not alot of damage i think Hatton will fight one of them in June.
Yep, even if Juan Diaz and JMM had recent loss last year, they're both a good match-up for Hatton... The downside, Hatton has to wait until after Feb. 28 and hope neither of the Juans will not be a damaged goods by that time...Quote:

I hope it will be the Marquez-Diaz winner. I won't pay a nickel if he makes a fight with De La Hoya. I might watch a Mayweather rematch just for the Floyd Sr. factor, and the slight chance that Mayweather might be rusty and Hatton pulls the upset (but I doubt that would happen).
I really dont think DLH. They had a fair bit of Hatton ringside chat (when DLH fought Pacquiao) and Hatton actually looked upset and sad at how spent DLH looked. Said things like its upsetting to see a legend in that sort of fight and how he should probably call it a day, things like that and they looked honest sentiments. Plus from DLH's perspective, everyone and his dog will be telling him to hang up his gloves as well.
Mayweather - too many things going against this to suggest it would happen. Not least the fact floyds made no indication he wants to come out of retirement and if he did he`d be quite desperate for a tune up contest before jumping straight into the deep end.
Marquez or diaz -the winner is a potential future hatton opponent, but what with the date of their fight and the fact hatton is still penciled in for may 2nd id highly doubt due to the logistics of this that will happen.
Oscar De La Hoya - looked a completely impossibility after his mauling to pac, but as the contenders fall to the wasteside ODLH may just be tempted for one last final fling at glory.
edwin valero - no, no and urgh.....no
Margarito or mosley - Suspect marg-cotto II is already in the pipeworks for this summer should tony get through this and 1 more defeat for mosley should just put him into retirement. Wont happen
Cotto - for the reasons above it just doesnt seem very likely.
If you ask me it`ll be either de la hoya or someone completely out of the blue who can fill a slot like zab judah!!
I don't think Hatton will leave 140 and although it wouldn't be a huge money I see him taking on the winner of Bradley and Holt should that fight go ahead!
If he can win his next fight..........Amir Khan anyone?! :jabbing:Quote:

He could fight Kendall Holt for a fraction of the money and have a much tougher fight on his hands.
JMM would be interesting . Would be funny to see them two have a massive fight with Pac on the outside looking in .
Zab Judah at 140 still interests me. He looked damn good there until Tszyu schooled him.Quote:

If he gets a fight with De La Hoya that would seriously just turn me off completely. De La Hoya has only one fight and one fight only that I would like to see and that is JCC Jr. He doesn't deserve to keep fighting these elite fighters.
I wouldn't mind seeing Hatton get in there against Cotto at a catchweight.
Call me stupid. But I'ld love him to fight Timothy Bradley next. Especially if Bradley beats Holt.
Yep,Thats the one I'd like to see.Witters conquerer Lol.Bradley is in deep with Holt but Im starting to lean towards Bradley much.Quote:

So far, the winner of Juan Diaz - JMM fight is the leading boxer voted here as next fight for Hatton... It's a good match-up but the downside is Hatton has to wait until after February 28 to start negotiation and also this is not really a mega event fight...
On the other thread, PBF is the leading boxer voted here as next fight for Pacquaio... It's a mega event fight that needs no further explanation... A fight that no one can criticize... Only question is, does PBF really wants to fight this year?
So from this poll results alone, it seems that it's Hatton who loses more in the failed negotiation with Pacquiao...
.
I voted Cotto but JMM or Timothy Bradley are good choices.
those who said dela hoya, there's a problem there. i'm sure oscar wouldn't go down to 147lbs again and do you think hatton would fight him at a higher weight? for the money of course it could happen but then ricky would be in real danger of losing against someone who pacquiao already obliterated. that would mess up future megafights for him.
a fight with the jmm-jd winner would be good because it would be a high profile fight that he could win because of his physical size advantage. imagine if he could defeat jmm more convincingly than pac, which imo he could, it would set up a better scenario for the pacman fight.
