    No, I don't see him beating Berto, Margo, Clotty, or Williams.

    He's already done it once before...and I don't think any of them are unbeatable.

    They all can be beaten but since Hatton was shook by a lightweight I highly doubt he can do that again especially against the bigger welterweights who have the titles.

    Nope Hatton @ Welter = destined to be starched.

    Anyone can be shook by an opponent regardless of weight,and I agree it is unlikely he can win a title again in the division but I don't see any of the current champions as such a high quality that it would be impossible...Berto has been mentioned but I think he'd hae a chance against Clottey also,but I can't see him moving up again anyhow...

    I still think Hatton should stay at that weight class.

    Hatton gets comfortably beaten by all 4 belt holders at 147 now. He probably gets stopped by all 4 aswell.

    I think with Billy Graham being sacked he's shown that he's getting carried away with all the hype he's had stateside, since the PBF fight... and he won't have anyone to keep him grounded,he's got 2/3 fights left before he retires and if he' gonna truly make his mark in the game he has to be looking to unify his own division and then maybe take on the likes of Cotto who he'd have a war with, and then maybe he'd gain a bit of recognition from the doubters...even in defeat...because I don't see him beating him either.But against Clottey and Berto he'd have a good chance but would be unconvincing.

    Mabey, He might be able to beat Joshua Clottey and Andre Berto.
    For a guy who is famous for packing on the pounds between fights 147 mght be too big for Ricky Hatton.
