    I'm thinking of having a bet that ODL will beat ricky Hatton this year. Bold bet I know but I have worked it all out :)

    Actually no... My thinking is that Manny will beat Hatton. This will (once again) leave Hatton thinking about retiring seeing as he cannot beat the best out there. Now he will not want a 'high risk - low pay' fight, and he'll want one in which he believes he can win and in the UK. Oscar, as with Hatton will not want to go out on a sour note and will definately (as stated) travel to the UK. For both fighters at Wembley this is by far the biggest money spinner out there, and both will believe that the other is there for the taking. I cannot see Oscar signing any contract which gives him a limit to what he can enter the ring at therefore I see him being too powerful for Hatton and due to his replinishment he will be fit enough to pull it off !

    He should retire and pursue a career in acting.. Hollywood.. Take some time off and take some acting classes cuz he's acting till now sucked.. Fakeness just oozes out of him.. His smile, his laugh and everything... It's fake.

    He and John Leguizamo could star in "To Wong Foo, thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar II...The Quest for Rupaul"

    His last statement is that he hasn't decided whether to retire or not yet.

    Who knows, maybe Oscar will collect another beating or two before calling it a career.

    Oscar's just speculating everything and being inactive but active with his promotion.

    iv a sneaky suspicion that hoya is hoping that hatton gets beat by pacman, and that would pave the way for hatton de la hoya at wembley.

    I notice he's sitting very quiet in his seat at fights whilst Mosley and Hopkins are hootering and hollering with the general public.

    Almost feel sorry for the man.

    He needs to take his farewell fight and leave. I like DLH to an extent. I think he needs to hang em up

    He will not retire on a LOSS/TKO. He will hand pick someone, hype it up and sell it for his grand finale.
