What now for Hatton??

At 140: Pacquiao, Malignaggi, Demitrius Hopkins, Juan Diaz (would be an AWESOME fight), Ricardo Torres, Joel Casamayor


at 147: Cotto, PBF, Mosley, De la Hoya......doubt he could really win vs any of the top level guys at 147

I'd say Pac-Hatton @ 135 would be a good one.

Ricky is having all hell making 140. ! 135 is out of the question IMO . Pacman can come up if he wants.. It would be a nice match , both men about the same height.. Ricky would be hell to fight , so physical ,just forces his will on his opposition . I Love it !

[Fire]

i hope hatton stays at 140 clears the division up, and gets atleast 2 of the 4 belts then fight casamayor then move up to fight cotto in 2009

Hatton and mayweather would be huger (its a word) on this site than any other fight out there. It probably wouldn't be as hyped up as the de la hoya fight, but im sure it would have a shot at getting more buyers.

Hatton is an exceptional fighter but Mayweather stylewise is just too quick. Hatton does something similar to what Marvin Hagler did. Not the same punch but a similar move. Hagler used to leap in with a right hand jab and leap in the air and land it total commitment. Hatton does the same with his left hook.. Totally commits. That is the move of a great fighter who is confident. Hatton has to use the next two years and fight really good fighters because after that his style will fade. He looks really good. Stopping Castillo in 4.

He will probably fight Malignaggi and his stcok will drop again so he should strike while the irons hot . I wana see him fight Floyd . Just compare their fights with Castillo . Floyd takes on a weight drained Castillo and most people think he lost . Hatton destroys Castillo effortlessly so theres a big chance he could walk through Floyd .

Cotto at 140 would be best for Hatton. Would Cotto move down? Malignaggi at 140 would also be interesting.

No way Cotto comes down, Malignaggi, i can honestly seeing this being his next fight, but i think Hatton is to strong for Malignaggi.

I think you're right and that Malignaggi will be the next fight. Cotto would come back down to 140 if the moneys right, trust me!

No...... he won't. The only way they'll ever meet is if Hatton moves up to 147.

Yup,no way in hell Miguel makes all those sacrifices to fight at 140. He loses muscle,stamina and is weak at the weight. Hatton should fight Paulie IF the Floyd fight cannot be made,I want to see how he deals with a slick boxer. I don't think the other fights at 147 are viable for him,I don't think his style would be effective at that weight.

You'd think 7 pounds is no big deal, but in this case it is. Hatton would have trouble with any of the top welterweights at the moment. On fighting Paulie, I happen to think it's a good matchup for Hatton. Paulie is known for his lack of power, so with no deterrent to stop him, Hatton would walk right through him. Paulie would be unable to keep Ricky off of him.

i think 135 impossible for hatton

only huge fights for now is in 147lbs.

or he can try to unify at 140

I think Paulie is a deceptive puncher and the key to beating Hatton is timing. I'd favour Hatton but remember,Paulie dropped Ndou which not even Miguel could do with his hammer fists! He doesnt have true power but he managed to generate some because his punches are sharp,fast,they type that once in a while,you don't see coming. I'd favour Hatton but it would be a great fight.

As for Hatton at 147,I would advise against it. We saw the Collazo fight and there are guys much bigger,much stronger who hit harder than Luis at the weight. I don;t think Hatton's tactics of hitting and holding would be effective against Margarito,Cotto,Williams etc.

What do you think of a Floyd fight Tito?

[TitoFan]

You mean Floyd-Hatton?

[El Gamo]

You mean Floyd-Hatton?

Yeah bro

[TitoFan]

You mean Floyd-Hatton?

Yeah bro

I think it depends. At 140, it might be more competitive than people might think, if only because Hatton owns 140 right now, and Floyd's best weight is 147. At 147, it'd be no contest, IMO. Floyd's too slick, too much of a boxer, and wouldn't fall for Hatton's swarming, clinching style.

Paulie is not as slick some think. Wacko astutely pointed out that Paulie gets hit too much, this would be the case against Hatton as well with devastating consequences. The Cotto match relived , Only Ricky stops Paulie inside 6.
