Oh yes not much of a rolling over

What is Hatton hoping to achieve by carrying on ?

Everybody loved the guy and thought he could achieve anything. Mayweather blew this completely out of the water. Hatton could fight that guy 100 times and lose everytime so I question the need to continue on and fight people where Hatton has nothing to gain and everything to lose.

Loads of brass and the fact that he'll prove he is the best at 140lbs plus he's only 29 isn't he

Maybe he wants to go down as a great fighter rather than a good one?



Just turned 30. I'm not sure he needs the money tbh, it's never been that big of an issue for Hatton.

I think he already will tbh.

He'll go down as someone who dominated everybody but one guy who was in all honesty in a class of his own.

I just dont see what Hatton can gain from fighting a big mouth Yank.

Completing the domination of the division and shutting the cocky plank up?

If he does that, I reckon Hatton will be looking at 2 or 3 fights max - De La Hoya, Mayweather and Pacquiao. Imagine if he beats one of those. That's a fairly impressive record to retire on.

I think if Ricky wins on Saturday he should fight Mayweather at Wembley [size=17(with everyone who went to the last Hatton v Mayweather getting in free

)[/size and then either retire or fight De La Hoya then retire.

I dont think a cocky yank is worthy of fighting Hatton, as I said IMO Hatton has nothing to gain from this guy and everything to lose.

I cant see what fighting an aged De La Hoya will give him, Mayweather is a non starter unless Hatton enjoys being made to look a mug and I know little about the other guy.

He is a World Champion.

De La Hoya is an impressive name to add to anyone's list. He's still a very good boxer, although more of a money man these days. He's fighting Pacquiao on December 6th, so you'll be able to check him out yourself. He's currently ranked P4P #1 and is the current WBC lightweight Champ and WBC Super Featherweight Champ. He's stepping up two weight classes to take on De La Hoya.

I wouldn't fight Mayweather either if I was Hatton, but Hatton genuinely believes he can beat him especially at home with a British ref. You can't blame him for wanting to avenge defeat, even though I can't see it.

I am glad to hear Hatton wants Mayweather.
As Gandhi said; " He who stops wanting to be better stops being good."

If Hatton is serious then he should be knocking this idiot out and then going all out for Mayweather again. De La Hoya is nothing but a money making exercise and Hatton has nothing to prove by fighting up and coming fighters who are looking for a big name on their list.
