Just read that Hatton turned down a chance to fill in for Mayweather in Sept. (not sure if this is old news, but it's the first I've heard of it)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/boxing/7444896.stm Doesn't rule out the fight in the future though. The article suggest Winky or cotto/Marg winner will fight DLH. Is September too early for Cotto/Margarito?

Hatton would need more time to prepare? If his camp are considering a fight with De La Hoya AT ALL, they require a severe dose of reality.
Aww Daddy Didnt Want His Baby To Get Hurt...so Instead He Takes On The Smaller Easier Fight. This would be a good match though however it is unknown if Hatton is sliding down the road towards retirement. Pac on the other hand looks to be in his prime.
The "smaller easier fight" that had already been agreed upon BEFORE Floyd decided to retire. Again. Think before you post.
to anyone who says 'the bookies are always right', I tell you this. Right after the PBF loss and next fights were being mentioned, 2 UK sportsbooks made Hatton-DLH a 50/50 fight. Hatton will not take this fight at any point, he's get smashed by a past it DLH and he knows it...he'll stick to cherrypicked paper champs at 140.
absolutely. He fits the Hatton opponent profile perfectly. Made his name in a beatdown loss, to a drained Cotto I might add. Got a consensus gift against Ngoujou and looked shite against Ndou. He looked a real clown.
Malignaggi is #2 at the weight. I know you always wanted Hatton fight the #2 at the weight, what's the problem?
