I don't think it is unimportant where Hatton fights next, but I certainly don't agree that it is more important than who he fights by a long stretch.
Well what other reason is there for not fighting him?

Personally I think it's dishonourable. Every top fighter offers a rematch when it's a really close fight, Morales Pacquio. Taylor Hopkins, Berrara Juarez, Spinks Judah, Holyfield Lewis, Mosely De La Hoya Williams Skelton ( ) and loads others.

The only people who don't give rematches are slimbeballs like De La Hoya.

Baldomir is exempt from this as Judah was a complete cock towards him so deserved to have his belt snatched away and jetted back to Argentina.

But Hatton is supposed to be a man of honour. He got beat last time out, everybody knows it. So be a man and give the champ a chance to level the score.

The Hitman went way down in my estimation after that fight.
All those fights were between established guys and were WORTH doing again

Collazo was a nobody. Not every close fight warrants a rematch. Whatever "fans" on boxing forums waffle on about, Hatton beat Collazo fair and square and doesn't OWE him fuck all
