I don't know I think it could happen, if Ricky puts up a good performance and beats CAstillo and if Floyd Mayweather beats ODLH then Mayweather - Hatton will be the biggest fight in boxing. bar none. We'll all be begging for it. The USA hasn't seen Hatton at his best, partly do his own poor performances and partly due to the awkwardness of the guy's he's been fighting, but against Castillo you'll see what Ricky can do. When you see him on his game, brawling like a man possessed, against a guy as tough and experienced as Castillo you'll want to see wether or not he can do the same to Mayweather.

The only other fight out there with the same appeal is Sugar Shane versus the pretty boy. That would be an incredible display of the sweet science, but I don't think it'd be as intriguing as Hatton Mayweather. Hatton's style would ask Mayweather a lot of questions. How would Floyd be able to get all those slick fast shots off with Ricky Hatton all over his arse for 12 rounds? Hatton's not got anything like as much pure boxing skill as Mayweather but you don't fight fire with fire, Hatton's constant pressure will give Floyd a lot of problems mark my words.

Truth is after about July, when both of these fights have happened, these are the fighters who'll have the momentum and the appeal. If its Castillo and ODLH who win then it won't happen, if its Hatton and ODLH who win it wont happen, but if its Hatton - Mayweather then I think it could happen. All everyone will be talking about on the message boards if that happens is "Hatton - Mayweather: Who wins?" and I think come november time we could see a real big PPV bout between Floyd and Ricky.

If not? well Floyd chooses to fight Sugar Shane, Hatton goes and beats someone good to keep the pressure on, maybe go back up to 147lbs. If Floyd beats Shane, and Hatton takes out a good contender like Witter, Harris, D-Hop, the momentum will still be there and the appeal of this fight will grow.

If Floyd retires before facing Hatton, like he has threatened to do, he's a fucking pussy. Hatton and Cotto are two fights that Mayweather cannot avoid if he want to be considered great.
