Tam,
for sake of this discussion lets name a few guys at 147 and tell me what your opinion is on how Hatton would fare against those guys

CARLOS BALDOMIR
FLOYD MAYWEATHER
ANTONIO MARGARITO
ZAB JUDAH
LUIS COLLAZO (REMATCH)
KERMIT CINTRON
OKTAY URKAL
ARTURO GATTI
PAUL WILLIAMS
CARLOS QUINTANA
MIGUEL COTTO
SHANE MOSELY

JUST TO NAME A FEW
INTERESTED TO SEE YOU FEEDBACK
Carlos Baldo..........and can definately see this one going the distance no doubt in that one. hatton will have to come up with something to take on baldo cos as we do no he aint exactly floyd and he is a bit 1D so he will have to do something different and be the guy throwing the punches dictating the pace. if he gets below on the punch rate and if hatton is 1D i dont see hatton doing much. this will be a good fight but i really could see hatton winning on points.

Floyd mayweather this is one i aint to sure about hatton i really do think he will get in trouble and be outpointed. he would have to throw that left body shot like no other and try and stop floyd cos i really do not think he can match him...his superior fighting skills may be a bit to much for him. but hatton being the underdog may suit him............i DONT think hatton would win this one.


Antonio Margarito.......this would be a war and a test of who wants it more. Balls would be something, if hatton can show he can take his punches and throw back this could go either way. i do think tony has got more power being the bigger man but if hatton can get in side him and penetrate his high guard and hit that body we could really see a good fight here.

Zab Judah............ depending on how zab judah shows up to this one can mean alot.if focused zab turns up hatton will have to be on his toes and expect to be throwing alot of punches. if hatton gets his tactics right and keeps to his game plan i could see hatton winning this one on points. but the way judah turns up for the fight will mean alot. but i do feel that hatton could surely take out judah.

Luiz Collazo...............really do feel a more focused hatton would turn up to this one and not let luiz fall into a way he wants to fight getting inside him and keeping a higher guard and not getting hit with anything silly i do think it would be another hatton UD.....dont forget JT he still did win the last fight!

Kermit Cintron.............. i have not seen him fight so i cant comment on this one!

Oktay Urkal................. he is old and not done anything at welter i can see hattons shots really hurting this guy and him getting tko'd

Arturo Gatti................. Hatton would have to expect another war here but its not anything he has to worry about. good combos against gatti would slow him down. i do think hatton would have to bare that one in mind cos the big singles would not do much against him. Gatti is getting old he aint looking the same he use to be and maybe this could lead to a hatton tkoing him. hatton would be able to take gattis punches i think.

Paul Williams..........TOUGH one for hatton. he would have one thing to do in this fight throw ALOT of punches or get KTFO!!!!!!!!! paul is far to tall for hatton and hatton would have no choice but to get inside him and throw alot to his body. the conditoning of williams will be vital in this fight..but if he uses those long arms hattons gona be in trouble. this would be one of the hardest fights hatton would face. but if he gets inside well keeps his guard up and is always throwing and clinching and muscleing this guy we could see maybe a tko.but i do no fancy hatton in this one tbh!

Carlos Quintana............ i have not seen him fight so i cant comment.

Miguel Cotto................Another war! hatton would have to get inside him again and it will a case of who wants it more again. Miguel i think would be the stronger guy but its nothing hatton cant handle. this could go either way with competitve rounds and who ever has got the better conditing and determination to win and wants keep there record will have to do alot of work for this one. could go either way i think.

Shane Mosley.............he is getting old but i dont think this would stop him. but would getting to 147 be a problem for him? maybe he would lose alot of power i am not to sure... i do favour shane in this one...purely because of experience..but hatton could still cause him problems and he would have to be on his toes all nite.



JT by reading this you can see that the fights hatton would have would be exciting and not boring......if hatton stays at 140 he would beat every1 and you know that! but if he stays at 147 he can have these fights and set himself a challenge...as i was saying before about how will we rememeber hatton? if he fights at 147 and fights those fights me persoanlly will think he is hungry and looking to beat the best and if he goes to 140 i would think fair enough wants to be a champ undeafted champ prove his point.......but ill think to myself what if hatton stayted at 147 fought those harder fights showed he was the man took on baldo gatti etc and this would lead to floyd! that is what hatton wants and he aint gona get it at 140! the MEGA fights he said he wanted are not at 140! there at 147! this wll take america by surprise and the anly way he is gona conquer if he goes down the 147 route........................
