This is getting interesting already. Wouldnt this be a great fight? They both fight going forward, this fight would be bound for a KO on either fighter. Castillo-Hatton for March or April, nice!

Team Hatton eyes Castillo bout!
Ricky Hatton and his promoter Dennis Hobson have welcomed the news that pound-for-pound fighter and potential rival Jose Luis Castillo has escaped a lengthy suspension from boxing. Hobson said, "Ricky will be fighting on December 9 but, allowing ourselves for a second to anticipate a favorable result there, weve already had good talks with Bob Arum about making a Hatton vs Castillo superfight for March or April. That's a fight Ricky is relishing......Me and Ricky were as gutted as anyone that [Castillo-Corrales III] got cancelled at the last minute. We were actually at the weigh in and just couldn't believe it. But I think Castillos paid the price by getting fined $250,000 and should be allowed to move on in his career." Hobson added that Hatton's December 9 opponent and the site of that bout will be confirmed shortly.
