    OK i may be drawing a long yard stick here but hear me out...

    I dont think after a big fight like Hatton that floyd will go straight for Cotto, Williams Margarito.

    Which is fair enough....

    Tszyu has gone on record many times saying he will consider a fight with floyd so long as their is a "serious" offer on the table...

    I have read exerpts in the paper on KT stating that would is still keen to fight and 2008 he wouuld like to fight one more time. It would have to be a big enough challenge for him to be motorvated to come back.

    For floyd its still another name on his resume and a perceived easy fight from the Mayweather camp...faded former champ etc etc..

    For Kostya is a massive pay day and a chance to finish off his career with a career defining win....

    long stretch maybe not out of the realms of possabiltiy....:smoke :smoke

    yes me too....i would love to see tszyu fight floyd more then any other opponant...

    that said i cant see kt getting past floyd at this stage ...juts way too long out of the ring but you'd be hard pressed to discount tszyu completely

    If Mayweather slagged Hatton off for beating an old Tszyu on the press tour...there's no chance Floyd will be fighting him.

    ON the contrary, there's two reasons for it.

    One, KT's right hand will be slower and weaker.

    Two, Floyds always said Kostya fought Roger Mayweather when he was an old man, and Floyd will wait until Kostya is very old before paying back the favour.....

    I really doubt this would get made. I HOPE it never gets made. No point really.

    The only point to this really, would be I'd be spending 36 minutes PRAYING that Kostya timed a right hand just like he did against Judah........

    (Even though at 38, this fight has ZERO relevance to how it would have played out even 5 years ago).

    Well that makes sense. From Hatton to Cotto or Margarito?

    Yeah probably not :yep . . . but KT next? I don't know . . because KT has long been inactive and considered a Hatton left over, but I won't have anything against it if it happens.

    The latest interview in Russia with Kostya, he stated he was indeed retired and that both his wife and trainer would not support a comeback of any type.

    He is 38 years old and the right hand was missing for the Hatton fight.

    He isn't going to look any better in a fight at this stage.

    He won't be coming back. It's over.

    Not a chance in hell of Tszyu fighting Floyd.

    Tszyu looks like Hatton in between fights these days...
