LMAO!! In all fairness,even though Ricky got away with things,Kostya himself didn't complain and he did hit Ricky back low at times too although I think anywhere else,Hatton would not have been allowed to get away with such rough house tactics.

Cotto and Margarito maybe fighting each other soon which I see Cotto winning there just arent as many huge fights for Ricky at welter as there looked to be not too long ago. Better to dominate one division and unify than fight a bunch of guys already beaten and maybe past their best.
Corrrales will most likely go to 147,140 would be hard for him to make too. Witter would be a big domestic fight but in terms of exposure Stateside,I think Hatton needs to move to 147. There are plenty of fights there,heck if ALLLLLLLL the big naems are busy,rematch Collazo because alot of US fans see that as Ricky being beaten back to 140 even though he actually won the fight!I like the unification idea but I think Hattons thinking exposure,$$$$!!!
