Probably not very good and he knows this himself.

Well, he has previous form. The last person to unify the cruiserweight division's major titles — Evander Holyfield — went onto become a world champion at heavyweight within 18 months. It may have been sooner if Mike Tyson had not have held the major titles. So, there’s also previous examples. It also makes business sense. The fans want this fight to happen, the networks do, and the WBC does. That’s probably why the WBC rates Haye as their fourth highest contender, whilst the IBF don’t have him in their top 20. The only belt that has any merit in its ranking system is the IBO. Notably, they too rank Haye highly — 8th.

Barrett went all out to fight and was in good shape, I thought. He threw punches recklessly and thats why Haye managed to knock him down so many times.

I think Haye's got a great chance against either of them. Vitali is the better fighter of the two IMO, but is probably ideal for Haye as he won't jab his way through the night like Wladmir would.

As it says in the article, Hatton wants a fight with Pacquiao, which is the one I think will happen. If/when that takes place, the winner against Mayweather Jr becomes an even bigger fight.

Smart manouevering by Floyd's camp, let it be known you want to fight again, claim you were blocked in the original opponent (Hatton) and then get your shot at the winner.

If it does happen it will be after the Pacman fight. Which according SSN is going to happen in May.

A bit of chess going on at the moment with the Mayweather, Hatton and Pacquaio parties. It wouldn't surprise me if all of them ended up fighting each other at some stage, but it's about money alot of the time in boxing these days.

All three are in an amazing position to negotiate a deal - Hatton because he's the biggest draw in boxing (besides De La Hoya maybe), Pacquaio because he's pound for pound king and Mayweather because he's retired and undefeated.

I think Hatton would rather fight Pacquiao because of the weight division he can fight him in, and I think it will happen next year in the UK. The winner will undoubtably fight Mayweather.

If Ricky loses to Pacman I really don't know where he can go, Mayweather will not be interested. Unfortunately I don't see Ricky beating either man. Pacquiao will ultimately fight Mayweather for the unofficial best fighter on the planet title, and it is a tough one to call.

Theres noway the Hatton-Pacman fight will be at Wembley. It would mean showing it at 5am to accomodate HBO.

actually when ODLH was talking up a potential fight with hatton he mentioned a sunday,evening fight @ wembley which would have gone out at sunday afternoon in the states...

Just bang em all out me.

Well that was a shocking decison.

Holyfield won that by a street IMO.

hatton v pacman looks like happening on may 2nd in vegas...
