Hatton is in a different class! Hatton has bigger fish to fry!!!
Like who? at 140 since he isn't moving to 147 again. Who at 140 is a bigger fish to fry?
Juan Diaz and Joel Casamayor.
Do you think Hatton could get down to 135? I would guess he would have a hard time.
But if he could 135 is a much stronger division IMO lots of options, I'd back that.
For the record, Hatton vs. Juan Diaz would be an awesome match-up, as it would showcase
both of there styles. Honestly though, I don't think that Casamayor nor Juan have the drawing
power of Malignaggi, which speaking truthfully is the only reason that people come to America.
No the fights would have to be at 140lbs, Casamayor is pretty big for a Lightweight, and Diaz has a good style match up, I think they'd both come up for the career high purse and the chance to become a p4p top 10, and a BIG top name star in the sport. The Diaz fight was nearly made a while back but it fell through so it seems he ain't scared of going to 140.
While I think you bring up some great options, all of the recent things I've heard for all the Diaz's, Casamayor, Campbell
are all kinda looking for unification type stuff. I don't know that moving up in weight at this point in any of their careers against such a dangerous fighter would make sense, of course if the money's right............
Well I'm thinking with my wallet to be honest, that's the question I ask myself, "would I buy this fight?" How much would I sacrifice in order to see this fight live, because that's what promoters should be thinking if their doing their jobs.
Which is why from a promoters standpoint, I would still say Malignaggi is the best option as he is young tested against Cotto and has the best draw. Let's be honest here Hatton has enough fans that will watch him fight regardless of who it's against that you really have to look at how many people will the opponent bring to the table. Which in this case I
have to give that crown to Paulie. I'm with you on the Diaz vs. Hatton would be a hell of a match-up, possibly one that
could have a record for most punches thrown and also the one that I like the most compared to all that have been discussed. CC dan I haven't spoken with you in a while, always a good discussion with you.....
