The only reason for Hatton to move back up should be to give Collazo a rematch.
Hatton will have to move back up eventually. The way that guy balloons in weight between fights will eventually make it hard for him to make 140. There's no way you can keep going from 180 to 140 without it having an adverse effect on your body. Hatton will never move back up, the day he can't make 140 will be probably be the day he retires. But if he did fight Cotto, good lord, that would be a brutal body punchfest. I'd come out from watching that fight pissing out blood.
