    I'm certain Oscar could make 140, despite what some say.

    2009 is shaping up nicely.

    At 140 I'd fancy Ricky. Any higher and it's Oscar's for me.

    I would fancy Hatton at 140, because DLH's stamina would most likely be weaker than usual.

    Oscar would need to lose an arm or a leg to come in at 140.

    The only way this fight starts at 10pm British time is if Oscar think's he exhausted the American PPV market.

    No way does this fight start at 10pm British time if GBP think this fight is a seller in the States.

    The "ahem" 100,000 on the gate and the 1m + PPV sales at £14.95 in the UK do not equate to the 1m + PPV sales at $54.95 in the States.

    This is a potential sham of a fight and all so Hatton and DLH can make a shitload of money off it.

    DLH hasn't fought at 140 for nearly 11 years and he's much too big for Hatton at 147.

    I'm praying that Pacquaio wins on December 6th as that would be a much better contest.

    I just hope this fight doesn't happen full stop!

    Hatton vs Pac/JMM/Diaz/Bradley or basically anybody else would be preferable.

    I think Oscar would like the fight on an American/Mexican bank holiday so that the fight can be shown in the day time over there kinda like superbowl. The fight would be good depending on Oscars showing against Pac.
