    Ricky Hatton admits he would love to step in the ring with 'modern day legend' Oscar De La Hoya.

    The Mexican 'Golden Boy' is interested in facing Hatton and the Manchester fighter told the Mirror: 'It would be an honour to share the ring with Oscar.

    'It's the sort of fight that secures your legacy. If Floyd won't fight me maybe Oscar would. He's never dodged anybody'.

    Exactly, and Hatton and his camp must know this too.
    If he couldnt deal with Collazo, how the fcuk could he deal with DLH.
    I think DLH would knock Hatton out.

    that's the whole point HBO needs oscar to get a big ko against an inferior opponent to get his standing back up:lol: hatton would get crushed by oscar so HBO wants the fight. This all could be a ruse to help hatton in negotiations with floyd since we know oscar won't be fighting again till may2008.

    Is it me or does oscar need to retire:hat

    we all know this, but oscar is trying to play his hand. he knows that in may 2008 he will rematch floyd, there is no bigger fight out there for him. But he promised shane a fight with floyd so he is trying to force floyd to face shane in nov instead of hatton. If floyd fights hatton then shane will not get his chance since oscar will hype a rematch over six months. So oscar is just trying to stop a hatton floyd fight by saying yeah I'll fight hatton at 147 eventhough he can't make the weight.

    Floyd is difficult for both guys which doesn't result in an entertaining fight ..I would prefer Hatton/Delahoya because it has fire works written all over it ..

    a loss to oscar or pbf wouldn't hurt hattons reputation, "he lost to a bigger guy" or "he lost to the p4p no1" is what would be said. however a really good showing or a small chance of a win and he's laughing. it's a win win situation for hatton and the small matter of maybe a $10mill+ purse should help too.

    get real you mean mismatch written all over it:lol: hatton with his 5'6 66 inch reach is going to be able to fight a 5'11 71 inch reach hoya. I want to see a competitive fight not this crap. it would be less entertaining then the gatti fight hoya had where he dwarfed him:deal

    :good well said. Oscar is waaaay to big for Hatton. And Floyd is just flat out better, so he might walk away with more money fighting Oscar. But a 1 is going to pop up in the L column either way

    Hatton left hook to the body KO. But then Hatton would just be beating another over the hill fighter.
