Newly crowned WBA welterweight champion Ricky Hatton has said his top choice for his next opponent is the winner of next month's rubber match between Diego Corrales and Jose Luis Castillo.

Coming off a viciously hard fought win over Luis Collazo in Boston, the Hitman said he is ready for a new challenge and believes a brawl with the winner of the upcoming rubber match would be exactly the sort of fight he needs to enhance his reputation.

"If I had my choice I would fight the winner of the Castillo-Corrales fight, but it's up to my team," said Hatton.

Although both men struggle to make the weight, Castillo and Corrales are fighting for the WBC lightweight title in Las Vegas in June and it is possible Hatton could meet the winner at a catch weight.

Leading boxing ranking website BoxRec actually lists Castillo as the number one fighter at junior welter, ahead of consensus champion Hatton.
Well, well, well, what do we have here!!!! What happened everybody, I thought Ricky was gonna give Collazo that rematch Mayweather is given the fight of his life when jumping to a new division and what does he say to Castillo, "Let's do it again because I'm a real champ." Hatton is given the fight of his life when jumping to a new division and what does he say to Collazo, "Ah, I think I'll go fight someone 2 divisions smaller than me." Like I said before, talk is cheap.
