    If Hatton could stay in the fight early he would have a sniff - DLH isn't all that on the inside, and isn't as quick to pull the trigger as he used to be.

    He also fades down the stretch - a Hatton SD might be on the cards.

    I think Oscars just too big for him. Having said that against Forbes though he didn't look too hot.

    Oscar would kill him. What the hell is Hatton going to do against a guy that size with his stumpy little arms? He's just going to make Oscar look good, he can keep him on the end of his jab and then counter him coming in.

    Oscar and Marg, would destroy Hatton, their big for Welters, both hit harder than Collazo who Hatton was troubled by, if cotto & Cintron couldnt hurt Marg, and Tito couldnt hurt De La Hoya at Welter, hatton wouldnt be able to, i just see hatton head getting rocked back every time he tries to get close to carry out his body work on de la hoya, and i can see marg been too strong and just grinding hatton down (would be awesome for a few rounds though if hatton could get back to his old self)

    A lifeline is what Hatton would be clinging on to after a fight with Margarito.

    Margo would beat the **** out of Hatton, they may only be 7 pounds apart, but the size difference is incredible.

    Margarito is limited and I think he loses a Williams rematch, Mosley beats him, and even Berto could too. He would still wreck Hatton.

    Prior to saturday Cotto-Hatton looked like it'd just be cruel... but I would like to see that fight now.

    you could see a prime hatton maybe hustling out a scrappy UD or SD. But hattons too predictable these days

    And margaritos a tank, nothing hatton did would slow him down, id love to see hatton try and push margarito across the ring like he did to castillo lool

    Not Berto, no way. He's gonna be exposed very soon. He looks like the prime candidate to not deal with pressure very well, and has a suspect chin.

    I would back Hatton to beat Berto, if honest. He can be outworked and is cumbersome.

    Hatton vs Cotto at 140 has been a great fight for the past four years - but Ricky simply lacks the frame to be a top quality welterweight.

    If he had had better nutrition earlier in his career he could have started at least 135, possibly 130.

    The thing is with Hatton when he was growing up in school he was never the prettiest boy in the playground

    but he didnt let that stop him

    he could fight and had a talent for it

    and through this skill despite being a ugly ******* from a family full of chavs he still managed to make a successful life for himself

    he nabbed himself a new girlfriend - pretty Jennifer Dooley - and whislt she is only with the fat little **** for his money - she got upset crying tears of hurt when feather fisted Mayweather sent him head first into the ring post

    she will be devesated if Hatton fights Margarito cos he will get killed in this fight and it would end his career - meaning no more paydays - then Jennifer will be truly devasated and might even think of leaving him

    As I was watching the fight I actually thought about how Hatton would do in there and I could only see a very bloody time of it probably ending on cuts or knockout. Hatton should leave the welters alone

    Boy id paid handsomely to see this. Hatton vs Margo would be like feeding a domestic cat to a punch of starving wolves.

    If Marg comes in at around 165 like they are saying for the Cotto fight then you may as watch Hatton-Pavlik or Hatton-Taylor...
