what next for him? Should he stay at Welterweight? Fight monsters like Cotto or lower his sights to people like Williams and Cintron [who would all probably beat Hatton given their size advantages] Does he slip back down to light welter to fight the likes of Witter and Rees [:yikes] Or does he simply retire at the very, very top of the game?
Yer I have to agree with this - Hes got a chance against Floyd but I think cotto etc. would be too strong.
Mega match up with Dela Hoya to permanently secure his financial future and possibly his status and retire. He would retire a overachiever in my eyes.
Why not fight Cotto for all the marbles. Both men would bring fireworks and lots of drunk rowdy fans.
Retire. Right at the top. If he stays at 147 he will get beat, if he goes back down to 140, then he will only be going down in class also. He cannot top a win over PBF, plus he is already the light welter champ anyways, he has all but cleaned the light welters out, there are only prospects like Malignaggi there now. He has said anyway he wants out of the game soon so why not go out absolutely on top of the world, with a legacy, money, and an unblemished record?
Although I would love to see Cotto fight Hatton if Hatton pulls of the great upset I think Hatton deserves more for getting rid of PBF and his bandwagoners. Cotto is not a big enough stage or money. Thats why I say DelaHoya. It would be huge with probably bigger numbers than Hoya vs PBF considering both fighters would bring a huge following not just Dela Hoya
Hatton is undoubtedly a better fighter at 140lbs than welter but if he can beat Mayweather which weight he fights at shouldn't be an issue, whether it be at light welter or welter. He should fight Cotto then drop down and dominate 140lbs until he's ready to retire.
I said the same ****. The fights in the stands would be insane....no way I'm seeing that fight live without some sort of protection.
