    So according to all the reports, Hatton has got 5 fights left in him. Now if the guy has any sense he will stay away from 147. Avoid Cotto, Williams, Margarito and even De La Hoya like the plague.

    140 has to be the plan for the next five fights. So who would you like to see him fight? More importantly, who do you think he will fight?

    The UK homecoming will see a defence of his IBO title against a confidence opponent. Someone he will basically beat up, see Oliveira or Stewart. From there I reckon it'll be back to the States where I feel due to HBO it'll be Malignaggi. Should he win that I reckon Juan Diaz will be in the pipeline somwhere along the line. And I know that some reports have mentioned a superfight against Pacquiao in Dubai!

    So, who knows but a fight with Diaz - whichever way it would go - would surely be terrific.




    Adios

    He should fight 4 bums then bring in Cotto or maybe Floyd to end his carrier :lol:

    well he would most def want an easy one first of, maybe a small fight against rees regain part of the belt, then go stateside against malignaggi, if he wins then mayb a domestic showdown against witter.

    he will need to have to last superfights to cement his legacy in any way so if pacman was to agree to move up n fight hatton at catchweight then he would have ticked off one superfight but he would need another big win, mayb diaz but then again mayb someone else will b around by this time fo him to fight.

    then again if hatton does win all of these fights it is still possible for a rematch with mayweather at light welter and in manchester the pay days for both fighters to end their careers would be absolutely huge.

    All five fights - with maybe the exception of maybe one, which should be his last fight - should be at Jr. Welterweight. Those guys are just too much for him. I thought he lost the Collazo fight - but I don't feel like arguing about that.

    Id like to see him have an easieish first title defence get his confidence back ect, and then i think he should stop ****ing about and fight witter, take it very seriously as witter is a big threat , then once theres no doubt in britain then look around the world. Gives him a good base to finish off his last three fights and end a very good carear. I really like hatton but his , well ducking as i see it, of witter is really pissing me off. Hes on about he wont give him the fight cos he insults him and it would be a big pay day for witter, this is boxing hello?

    As far as I'm aware, Hatton's carrier has done nothing to deserve such a fate. It's not easy hauling that much luggage around, you know.

    You're crazy or a really, really optimistic Hatton fan.

    I'm a huge Hatton fan but that list drew a gulp from even me!:yikes

    He'll retire after 2 of these fights - depending on who he takes first.

    :yikes thats a list of fighters, its debatable whether mayweather could go through the rest of his career without losing to one of these i dont personally see hatton winning any of them, hed be out of his depth hes to small for this division. he needs to fight at light welter from now on and maybe a fight against some lightweights who are coming up.

    Hatton is a very good and tough fighter. I think he can hang with the best of them but yes, 140 is his weight and I think he cleans house there. He got beat by Floyd, noe exactly a tomato can.

    He'd crush Margarito and get spattered by the rest.

    That's four unholy maulings on the trot, the Three Stooges couldn't collectively take that much punishment.
