Would someone please knock Hatton out again.

The sun really shines out Floyds arse in your eyes. To say Cotto and Margarito have as much chance as Hatton is bollocks.

.....True because they have a BETTER chance than Hatton because they are true 147 fighters and they can punch a hell of a lot harder.


Ricky should fight Cotto

I still like Hatton. I don't want to see Cotto put the hurt on him.

Shame on you El Gamo How could you want Hatton get KTFO? regardless of what you think of him as a fighter, he is a stand up guy!!

...and to say he hasn't fought anybody

Lyle you are a Cool guy but sometimes you could be as cruel as they come.
Why so much hate on Hatton. Can you imagine him vs Cotto? he(Hatton) will end up worst than Ali.

Sorry man,stand up guy or not,he does not deserve a rematch with Floyd in anyway shape or form. He thinks he can beat Lazcano and Paulie and go back to 147 to fight Floyd? Hell no! And I said he hasn't fought anyone since his loss to FLoyd which would merit a rematch with Floyd.

You want to fight the best at 147,go and beat some other fighters at 147. Margarito's beaten 7-8 RING top 10 fighters at WW and is only getting his shot at the bigtime NOW.Hatton can't just waltz to 147 fight,get KTFO and demand a rematch. He does'nt deserve it.

I think Hatton's body and chin just don't sit well at 147...
If the ref or fight style allowes him to fight his fight, and do the most damage that he can inside, then I believe he does have the power to trouble a lot of the 147's out there...
But to get off all the effective shots he needs to bring down some of the better guys at 147, he's going to get hit with a lot of very hard punches...
I don't think his chin stands up to that very well.. He's a tough guy and realises it's "not a tickling contest", but getting tagged with to many hard punches makes him abandon his game plan a little (as it would do with most fighters)... He gets more weary of coming in, and isn't as effective at bullying and overpower the bigger opponents at 147..

He is certainly not a bad fighter, and has done very well against some very good fighters in my opinion... I take nothing away from him..

But basically, I think he's just missing 2 or 3 assets to really succeed at 147 (which is lets face it, one of the most competitive divisions right now).

1. Chin that he would need to be able to withstand the punches he needs withstand in order to get his own work done.
2. Defence to actually avoid all those punches and still get his own work done and overwhelm opponents.
3. The true power to really end a fight early with opponents at 147 ..

If he of been at 147 for more of his career, had kept his speed and maybe taken advantage of a little more power that comes with moving up weight.. And perhaps a little more defence while getting in close to fighters,,, I think he could have succeeded a lot more....

Overall though, for his attributes he got the most out of himself and his career and I have huge respect for that...

Hatton is just too short to fight the best at WW. His reach is dwarfed by practically everyone. He will always be having to overcome natural size deficiencies. A couple of inches taller and he could do it, but he's something like five foot five. 140 is as far as Ricky can go. If a rematch is to happen then it simply cannot be at 147. Hatton has realised and admitted twice that its too big for him. To do it a third time would be mad. I would love to see Hatton: Mayweather at 140 but Mayweather would never agree to it. Unless......the money can talk. Unlikely though.

I would prefer to see Floyd fighting the names at 147 really. But I like Hatton and wouldnt begrudge him having a second shot. Just seems 147 gives Floyd the power edge though.
