I think your right the result would be Hatton/win.larger fighter beats smaller boxer.
The result wouldnt change the fact that Jmm will always be the better boxer.
What would Ricky gain from it but more knockers?

I think it's about the money and for some, to cement their legacy along the way.

I think it's a bad idea even 135 to me he was looking a bit too full around the body.

I think the best thing for him to do is try and get a fight vs. Nate, I think it would be great.

Then if possible try for a 4th weight title vs. someone like Kotelnik who I think he can beat. I don't think Hatton is a good fight for him, I'm just going by what JMM looked like at 135 and to have someone like Ricky at 140.

I agree. He should fight some more of the top lightweights. It will make it so Pacquiao can't hide from him anymore and JMM can get what he wants. If he does fight Hatton, he will be stealing a future fight from Pacquiao because that's the fight they want after Oscar. But, TBH, I think Hatton will fight the winner of the Pac/Oscar fight.

I think Hatton fights Mayweather again next year at Wembley to be honest.

See Mayweather coming out of retirement to tackle his estranged Dad's protege. It's a little bit Hollywood but i reckon it will happen.

But at 140 with hattons "old" style (pre-floyd sr), he eats mannies leather all night.
