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

Please vote who do you think Hatton will fight next? Just mention the name of a boxer if he's not on the list of choices.

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...

Who would I like to see him fight? Probably Cotto or JMM.. I think Hatton needs to take a risk, like he did against Floyd, at this stage of his career if he wants to achieve p4p status.

Who will he probably fight? Probably DLH... it would draw more money and attract a bigger crowd.. although it wouldn't do much for his rep.

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.

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!

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.
