    I see a lot of people discussing or demanding Hatton vs. Mayweather and I'm just curious why?? Mayweather already knocked out Hatton and Collazo almost had him out of there as well. Why is theis guy even still being discussed? The only big fight out there to be made is Mayweather Pacquiao. Hatton shouldn't even be in the discussion.

    Hatton vs PBF II is just stupid. After Pac beats Hatton next June in Las Vegas it would be more appropriate for PBF and Pacman to fight in late 2009. Do you agree?

    Cotto beat the **** out of Malignaaggi. To be honest with you, I had barely even heard the name Malignaggi until the Cotto fight. Mayweather is not retired, he's sitting waiting for the chance to earn a huge payday. Hatton is a fighter who's already lost in devestating fashion, I want to see the best fight the best.

    i don't hear many talking about mayweather v hatton, but a lot of people talking about pac v hatton, which is a great fight. it would be a huge fight. and as someone said pbf is retired until he says different.

    hatton is the lineal champ at 140 and it would be a great scalp for his resume if pac can beat him. whatever you say about malignaggi he was the number 2 in the division and hatton dominated him better than cotto, although cotto did more damage.

    agree: the hot fight out there is rh vs pacman. hatton vs mayweather is a mismatch.

    I think Mayweather Pacquiao is the fight that should be made. Just basing it on their fights with Oscar and the fact that Floyd has had minor trouble with pressure fighters in the past I think it would be an entertaining fight.

    Some people actually wanted it, I know I didn't but there were a few that wanted it, the same few that demanded DLH/Mayweather II.

    Right now the only fight to make and best choice is Mayweather/Pacquiao.

    Are there even any notable fighters at 140? Hatton should be at 147 where all the big names are.

    That sounds amazing but still crazy and too much, Pacquiao is only human in the end and deserves an easy fight or two before that happens.

    Let's face it, this year he fought and beat Marquez/Diaz and DLH. Next year it's Hatton/Mayweather?, sounds a bit too much and physically WRECKING.

    I think an easy fight next year as a start is good then maybe Hatton or Mayweather after it.

    In other words no big names with the exception of a few who may move up. That Collazo and Mayweather fight must have really turned him off 147.

    Hatton fights and loses to Pacman, then he leave the elite stage to the elite fighters and lets Pacman and Mayweather fight

    He goes back to fighting maybe a Holt/Torres or maybe JMM which would be a decent fight
