According to a report out by BBC Sport, Ricky Hatton could be dropping to light-welterweight, and that move could mean giving up his title.

The BBC Quoted Ray Hatton (Ricky's Father/Trainer): "We are not averse to giving up belts rather than being pushed into mandatory fights few people want to see. It is lovely and a great honour to have the belts but these days in the modern era of boxing it is big fights that the fans and the television companies want to see."


Hatton's next opponent could be welterweight Oktay Urkal. The idea was Arturo Gatti, but those thoughts have been scraped after Carlos Baldomir stopped Gatti in round 9 this weekend.

Hatton's Father tells the BBC: "Ricky will be fighting in a great American city in December. The Gatti defeat altered our way of thinking. It was the fight everybody wanted to see but it is not going to happen now as he has been beaten."

I think that a wise move, Hatton showed lots of heart trying to muscle and stay right on Collozo who was so much bigger and stronger. That was a Great win, now its time to get back to were he belongs at 140 lbs ..
