    Yeah you're proabably right and i would have said that Goldie kills him if it was'nt for the Forbes fight.

    Its a more interesting fight for Hatton than anyone at 140 anyway.

    he gets koed and fast,lesser fighters than DLH couldnt miss Hatton with the left hook and thats DLH´s best punch.
    this is a total mismatch.

    This could very well be a possibility if FMJ truly stays retired. This fight would probably fill any arena in Britain. And it would also provide De La Hoya with another highlight reel KO as he winds up his career. No offense to Ricky Hatton, but hijs style is tailor made for a boxer/puncher like De La Hoya.

    All of this is merely rumors. I doubt that De La Hoya would take a Hatton fight in preference to a match with Miguel Cotto.

    This fight would retire both of them.

    If De La Hoya fight's the Margo/Cotto winner then ends with Hatton in Britain, that would sound like a great exit.... Win or Lose. Perfect way to go out for both.

    Good call:good

    Personally i think at this stage in his career both Cotto and Margo will be too much for Oscar.

    But Hatton? He isnt a big puncher, he uses his strength to grind you down and that aint going to work against Oscar.

    Hatton is 5'6 65 inch reach.......DLH is 5'10 73inch reach

    It would be a good farewell fight for DLH.

    Cotto/Margo ud over Oscar

    Oscar ko rd 4 over Hatton
