As I see it:

Gavin Rees--his easiest opponent. He should go after he or Kotelnic to get the ball rolling.
Witter--his biggest 'at home' fight, and what a give back for the UK fans!
Malignaggi--I hate his pitty-pat punches, but he will box the socks off of Ricky. If Cotto didn't stop Paulie, no way Hatton will.
Ricardo Torres--this would be a barn burner--puncher v. brawler. My personal favorite on the list, though Witter fight would be much bigger.

If Oscar has a pair, he will fight Vernon Forrest at 154, but he knows he will lose.

SOUND OFF!!!
It's funny how Hatton went from HERO to ZERO by losing to the best fighter in the world, I think this treatment is unfair and bias

I think its more a case of Hattons weekness has been exposed in that he is not big enough to fight above light welter weight.

He does not have the strength inside to bully opponents .

Dont forget Mayweather is not a big welter and he looked much stronger than Ricky even on the inside.


But if the fight was made I would watch coz you never know what might happen in the fight game.
This is not an attack on you but I believe that people are saying Ricky was not ready for WW to try and take away any credit Floyd may recieve for beating him, and it's a shame. Remember that Ricky turned WW before Cotto (before going back down) now people are saying that Cotto is a natural WW , after he get's his a** handed to him people will say he need's to go back down to 140 as well
Why does it matter who went up first? It just seems pretty clear that Cotto's taken to 147 better, he's the bigger, stronger looking guy. I don't remember exactly what Hatton weighed in as on fight nights at 140 but I'm pretty sure it wasn't 157 or 158 like Cotto would. Cotto was clearly cutting more weight. He clearly looks stronger at 147.

Not everything's an attack on Floyd, I know a lot of Floyd fans will never ever believe that, its like a persecution complex or some shit. Its not totally unjustified cause there are some people that just irrationally hate Floyd and say stupid shit like Floyd ran from Corley, etc, but when some people say things like they think Cotto's more suited for 147 that's all they really mean.
