Seeing Hatton get knocked out is something that would never get tiring. I'm hoping De La Hoya chooses Hatton as his farewell fight opponent. That way he can see Hatton really get smashed

If Lazcano is winning this one, it would be from a knock out. The 8-1 odds against Lazcano are a little crazy. Juan's no joke and he'll be up for this. I think it all depends on who takes the better punch. Lazcano's only been stopped once and that was 10 years ago. He's a sharp, accurate puncher but Hatton may be naturally stronger and punch a little harder. Close points win for Hatton with Lazcano making him fight for his life.

I think it's up to Floyd to turn down a rematch if it's offered and fight a real Welter who deserves a shot. The winner of Cotto - Margarito of course is 1st on the list.
I honestly think Floyd has more chance againsed Margarito that Cotto, Cotto has more chance at beating Floyd than Margarito....I think I just said the same thing twiceit's the beer I think
Anyway
As for Hatton, he and Billy said he was not a welter blah blah so why do it all over again? He lost to the best a weight class above him, in Vegas, a twat of a ref, its not all bad.
Stay at 140 and beat the best there Rick, Floyd won't come to England nor fight at 140 so forget it.

It's just people backing thier boy, nothing wrong with that i guess, i would have told with a straight face the broncos would win the super bowl last year and evey other year for that matter. Hatton had no chance the first time and even less in a re-match. Cotto and tony stand about as much of a chance of beating floyd as well. It's fight a real welter today and some other new claim to justify floyd the next. Floyd is too much of a complete fighter for any of them right now. Like ricky these guys are always the one till the fight actually happens. None of them really are.

A Mayweather- Hatton rematch at the moment would be pointless as Floyd will outbox him again. Mayweather should try and get a fight with Mosely then the winner of Cotto-Marg to secure his legacy. I think Hatton is on the slide and will win tomorrow but will get outboxed by Paulie in the Garden.
The devil in me would like Hatton to win this one but just barely or by robbery (remember the fight in Manchester)... So that Hatton will completely forget the PBF rematch and Paulie...
And Hatton will redirect his focus to the smaller PAC as his last money fight then PAC beat the hell out of Hatton...

I think the talk of a rematch is stupid aswel...honestly what does he think is going to happen?! there is no way in my eyes i can see him winning it....and im pretty sure most of the public will see that. However the British public is what wound me up in the first place about the first fight. Everyone suddenly jumped on the bandwagon and was like 'ricky won the mind games, hes going to knock him out, he's in better shape' yet at the same time being ignorant to the fact that PBF is a far far far superior boxer that Hatton can ever hope to be.

Lol !! Just my opinion bro..i'm wrong quite a bit so it's possible, i just don't see any threat to floyd right now. Each of them has thier reasons why they could beat floyd...i'm just convinced none of them will. No sunshine here though, floyd could loose to de la hoya and i wouldn't loose an ounce of sleep, now if and now to often when let's say the broncos loose you could catch me getting upset. We'll just see how it plays out, i haven't been wrong picking floyd yet. Before the fights his opponets are always too big, too strong, just as fast, too much pressure etc....after the fights his opponets are too old, past thier prime, out of thier weight class etc.....a fan of floyd's not really, but a fan of boxing i am. And since he's the best and pretty much reckonized as so by boxing itself i like him, not any more or less than almost all boxers besides ruiz, tarver, and layla. Actually if i were forced to buckle down and pick a fav due to some new law or something crazy it'd probably be berto. And even then i could watch them two fight and be happy with the result reguardless. Right now it's all just speculation, but if floyd does loose in the near future everyone feel free to rub it in as much as you like, all anti-floyd fans would after all this time deserve that and i'll take it lol!!

I couldnt wish for Ricky to be stopped. I dont even like to see him lose.
Ricky deserves credit. He has always stepped up to the plate and tried to fight the best. He was a huge underdog against Kostya and look what happened there. Revisionists and haters will always try to discredit a fighter. He didnt need to go up to welterweight and fight Collazo but he did. Collazo was much bigger than Hatton physically. Hatton ground out the decision. And then Mayweather. Hatton was fighting the best fighter in the world and outside his own weight class again. He had to make the fight. Ricky has a big heart, he had to try and topple Floyd. For 6 rounds it WAS competitive. The point deduction was a farce. A farce as bad as Barrera not being scored a knockdown against Marquez. Hatton fought the wrong fight that night though and Mayweather put him away.
Hatton has come back and won convincingly. Only a hater could begrudge that because Hatton is a heck of a guy with a lot of heart. I hope he is able to look good in his next couple of fights and if a rematch with Mayweather happens then so be it. You cannot blame Ricky that Mayweather would prefer to fight him instead of Cotto. Nobody should be hoping Ricky gets knocked out for that reason either. Hatton is very good, and he gets too much stick around here.
After getting this kind of punishment from Lazcano, I hope Hatton reconsider his quest for a Mayweather rematch and instead refocus his attention on the challenge of the very much smaller Pacquiao...
