    I voted Diaz, Witter, Khan and Bradley:

    I don't think any of those fights are totally out of the question for him to win.

    Diaz: I think Ricky would have to dig in really deep against Diaz.. it may be a bit of a war. It may be pretty brutal, it depends how much fire Hatton has left as to who wins.

    Bradley: Bradley could out point him, imo... but I don't think it is a formality, by any means - certainly not. There are still question marks about Bradley, he didn't look great against Holt, but compared to Hatton Bradley's fresh.

    Khan: I think Hatton would still be too much for Khan, especially if he can tie him up. Khan looks like he's switched from punching to hurt, to hit to score. If Hatton could make Khan exchange, get Khan setting his feet; Khan does have a macho element about him - Hatton would probably still win such a battle... Khans chin etc.... Freddie, does he have the key to beating Hatton?

    Witter: Witter is arguably even more faded now than Hatton.

    its impossible to know what hattons got left, pacquiao fight didn't show anything and he didn't look right physically, he definately missed kerry kayes there. i wouldn't bet on him with any of the opponents but my first thought for a realistic fight was diaz or witter, but whats the point. someone in another thread said that he was going to fight early 2010 but i thought who and what for. pointless just macho pride

    I think he would KO Witter and Juan Diaz at 140. Khan fight would be a close one, but with Freddie in Khans corner I think Khan would do it. JMM would struggle early on but win by late KO as Rickys style is taylor made for him. Bradley would win by a close UD in a fun little scrap and Ricky would get KTFO by Cotto in the early to middle rounds.

    He might beat Witter, but there is absolutely no evidence at all to suggest that he would KO him.

    JMM doesnt hit hard enuff or isnt fast enuff to beat hatton.

    Juan Diaz wont go there cos hatton would maul him and run thru him

    Bradley is good but i see flaws and he is getting beat by peterson in his next fight thats a guarantee, im going with ud eitherway but prime hatton kills him.

    Witter is wank, hatton goes thru him. But some tricky moments obviously.

    Khan would eventually be caught, if a shot gomez could im adamant hatton could!

    Cotto hasnt been impressive since Margo. But i agree he has to much power for hatton now. altho hatton would of murdered him when they were both tiitle holders at 140!

    out of all of them i think bradley and cotto would be the hardest to beat,strong as ****,both of em,altough if cotto comes down a few pounds,he may get beat,im still not convinced he is as good as u all make out

    I take your point, but there is a first time for everything. IMO I believe Witter is a spent force and his heart has been broken. I think if he fights a top 5 light welter or a half decent welter next he could well end up getting stopped.

    To be fair, the same could actually be said about Hatton
