I don't see the money in fighting hatton right now...Hatton needs to erase the doubters and give Collazo a rematch....If he wins the rematch then maybe he'll get the shot at bigger name fighters and the money ....otherwise I think they will leave him out of the loop because there is too much risk/reward going on.....
This is not specificcaly aimed at you bigragu but hatton doubters in general. I don't think it matters what he does. If he fought Collazzo again and steam rollered him my prediction is that Collazzo would be written off as a weak opponent and Ricky would still not have unanimous respect. There will always be doubters. Even Ali still has doubters (Lyle(purely an example))

There are just some people who will never like him, if he fought both Klitschkos and Lewis one after another in MSG an knocked them all out, there would still be people doubting him. It is the nature of the beast
