I think the winner of Hatton/Castillo should move up to 147 immediately. Those two are the only good fighters at 140 right now.
Good points,agreed. After this fight,win lose or draw,Hatton is slightly stuck. Unless Corrales decides to fight at 140(which he shouldn't if he's sensible),Hatton can only....unify the titles at 140 I guess. I mean there are guys like Maligniaggi but that's not going to add alot to Hatton's desire to leave behind a legacy. So he could move back to 147 but if Cotto beats Margarito,which he could do so easily,I don't think Hatton would want anything to do with him either. As for JLC,he wants to retire after 5 more fights,if he loses this,he maay change his mind.

140 has good fighters there but they all need to prove themselves..Paulie,Torres,Holt etc.
