    I would love to see a Malignaggi Hatton fight, that interests me far more than a fight with Castillo ever did. Malignaggi has been on HBO for his last 3 fights now so I would think it could be just as big a fight as Castillo at least in the states, plus Paulie is a live opponent.

    Witter has none of the tools required to beat Hatton.
    Witter cannot be compared to Collazo, he is far too random, lacks consistency and power and frankly as he is, is overrated. I do not even feel he is world champ material. I'm sorry if im offending any

    Ricky could get guys to move up to 140 to fight him but then people would complain about that too

    why shud Hatton move up though ??
    The big names want Ricky now and it wont do him any good to move up wen they may move down

    I definatly see the Malignaggi fight next and dont see the de la hoya fight happening at all

    and as for junior Witter lol the onli thing he'd beat hatton at is who has the biggest mouth
    Hatton doesnt need the Witter fight anyway unless he wants to shut him up

    A DLH fight is just absurd and shouldnt even be mentioned. The only fight at 140 is Malignaggi. Beyond that its all at 147. Maybe a Paulie fight and then a tester at 147 and then a big fight if it all feels okay.

    Hatton sure did his work!

    BUT:-

    Hatton's problem is that there are NO MEANINGFUL FIGHTS FOR HIM AT 140. He kills Malignaggi, Ndou, Harris, Witter, Hopkins, Forbes and anyone else in his weight division - these fights (with the exception of the Witter fight) wouldn't bring him the money he wants anyway.

    But at 147 I don't see him beating anyone. I think Cotto and Mosley would both beat him - Margarito or Williams I'm not so sure about, but after his fight with Collazo (who visibly hurt him) I would lean towards the bigger punchers/bodies in those fights.

    People are talking DLH but I can't see him going south of 154 and that is definitely a bridge too far for Hatton.

    I think he is in a rough spot right now, because 140 used to have some marquee names. People are saying that this fight may have opened doors for Hatton, and the performance definitley warrants that - but I don't see how.
    CC. I totally agree with you. I've always said that Hatton is a monster at 140 but he's not beating any of the names at 147. He's not beating Cotto, Mosley, Tony, and he sure as hell is not beating Floyd. I laughed out loud when he said that his style would give Floyd fits. Is this guy kidding himself, his style is tailor made for Floyd. Floyd's jab will keep Hatton from lunging in and smothering and Floyd will keep an effective distance. You don't lunge in and smother against Floyd without throwing punches because Floyd does his most effective work on the inside. And I'M TELLING YOU, Floyd WILL BE the better puncher at 147. Mark my words. Hatton's hands are fast but Floyd's hands are faster. IMO it could be a Gatti-style massacre.

    Hatton is a great fighter at 140 but at welter he's average.
