"With a fight in England at the new Wembley or the City of Manchester Stadium, you could get that easily.

"Now Oscar's lost it depends on whether he wants to carry on, only he knows that and if he does then he knows where to find us."

Any contest between the two would require one of them to move a weight division - with Hatton claiming that De La Hoya has indicated a willingness to do so.

"He said he'd be willing to move near the welterweight division in order to do it so...
Oh please...Hatton aint shit @ 147.

He needs to stick to beer & whatever hodge podge he crams down his trap & that's that.

Oscar would eat him for lunch...unless Hatton ate Oscar first.
It ain't right that your saying Hatton ain't shit at 147, he faught a champion (and a good one at that) on his debut and went up to 147 on 8 weeks notice, in his first top of the bill debut in USA, its not like Floyd Mayweather dipping his toe in against ex 140 man who is miles past his best, then faught another ex 140 man in Zab Judah. Mayweather outgrew his weight class, Hatton didn't. I think he deserves a little leway.
