Oscar to fight Ricky Hatton

[RHHatton]

I entirely disagree that it doesn't prove anything. Forget that Oscar faught Mayweather, then what does it prove, or factor it in, it puts Hatton on par with Mayweather at the present if he wins. If Oscar wins, it means he's still a force to be reckoned with. Plus it makes money, now when has making money proved nothing?

i agree with u. My question is why will Hatton move up in weight to fight de la hoya but not go up to fight PBF?

The rumour of Hatton not being willing to fight Mayweather at 147/154 is completely unfounded and is anti-Hatton propaganda. I'd go as far as to guess it came from the same source that claimed Hatton agreed to a Collazo rematch, and has turned down a fight with Mayweather countless times.

Thanks for the info. Has hatton stated he would move to 147 to fight pbf?

No

He has, about a million times. Quotes are coming up in a minute my friend.

As long as it is from a respectable source I will hold my hands up mate.

This is from a quote from the boxingtalk archive in Members page interview with Darren Nichols on June 25 2007. The URL is http://www.boxingtalk.com/pag/article12639.html I don't know if it will work for non-members.
I'm not allowed to post the full article but here's the question.

BoxingTalk: If you were to fight Mayweather, what weight would you fight at?

Ricky Hatton: I think my limit would be 147. I mean, I’m a natural 140 fighter. If I got to 147 that’s a number for me, because I’m a junior welterweight, but the pain would be worth the gain, so maybe we’d fight at a catch weight.

That don't say "I will move up to 147 to fight Floyd if i have to" though mate.

Hatton would move up to 147lb to fight floyd. He has said it a few times in interviews (ill have alook for them) and he has told me personnally on a number of occasions. Trust me, he will fight at 147lb against floyd.
