hatton is now a big playa in the boxing world and here are some of my views on future opponents

Miguel Cotto
This fight would be amazing, this is the fight i think the hardcore boxing fans would love and the general boxing fans would love, i would love this fight to happen. I think this fight will be happening but not for a few fights yet, could you imagine the support of both fighters it would be like Britain vs Puerto Rico, i could see this fight beeing very close and hatton edging out a split decision, this could potentially be the best fight in the last 20 years. They both have leaky defences but this just adds more intrigue to the fight, the winner of this fight would come down to who wants it more.

Floyd Mayweather
this fight would be a cat and mouse fight, they both are extremely fit and can impose there fighting styles for the whole 12 rounds, everybody can see what mayweather will do hit Hatton with pit-patter shots and dance away, i can see Hatton taking quite a bit of punishment in this fight and maybe have a few nasty cuts which he would have to be careful of because mayweather executes his shots to pin point accuracy, Hatton would be chasing Mayweather all over the ring, and without a doubt this would be mayweathers hardest fight, i can see this fight going either way it all depends on whos judging the fight i think personally. If Mayweather wants to be recognised as the best fight ever he will have to fight Ricky Hatton.

Shane Mosley
i think Mosley would try and box and mix it up with Hatton, Mosley still has a bit of his speed but fights in spurts if he wanted to beat Hatton if we would have to up the pace he has fought at in his last few fights. Mosleys best chance of winning this fight would be in the first 4 rounds after that he is in Hattons teritory. Maybe a couple of years ago he would have had Hatton in all sorts of trouble but at this moment in time i cant see him stopping the hitman, i could see Jack Mosley pulling his son out of this fight in the later rounds.

Oscar de la Hoya
i think oscar has 1 chance of beating Hatton and that is jumping in a time machine and rewinding back 5 years and fighting him, no disrespect to The Golden boy but on a serious note he doesnt have the fitness or speed anymore to keep Hatton off him, Oscar had problems in the last few rounds with his fitness agaisnt Mayweather imagine what he would feel like after 6 rounds of roughing it up with Hatton, i beileve the first few rounds would be very intresting as oscar is the naturally bigger man but as the fight goes on hatton stops him.

Paulie Malignaggi
i think paulie is a good boxer but lacks power i can see him maybe causing hatton a few problems but because of the lack of power hatton would walk threw him and tear him up, Hatton by late stoppage

Junior Witter
I can see this guy giving fits to anyone he fights his style is very unusual and i think he would give hatton alot of trouble, but this fight will never happen because hes not a big enough name in the states and Hatton is sick of the site of this boy, as he think the only reason Witter is quite well known is because he has been calling out Hatton all his career. If this fight did happen i think Hatton would win by a KO
