If he doesn't fight Collazo, he will have no one else but the Gatti-Baldomir winner, unless he takes that bum mandatory. This is a critical time for Hatton.
sum1 quoted that the WBa said who he has to fight If he stays at 140.

Btw, is it only me who thinks don king f***ed up? surly it was his job to have a clause in there somewhere that if hatton did indeed win the fight he had to give collazo a rematch?
I seriously doubt Hatton's people would have signed on to that contract. He was the money draw for the fight, despite Collazo being champ, and I'm sure HBO had no interest ex ante in burning TWO fights off of Ricky's brand new contract with Collazo matches. If Don King had insisted on that, Hatton would've found someone else and Collazo would have never been on HBO. Unfortunately, them's the breaks.
