    In England, 2011.

    Robert Diaz of GBP offered Hatton the fight while in England for Haye vs Audley last week.

    what weight tho! 147 oscar wouldnt make it - and it would be pointless Hatton fighting above 147 as we saw how ineffective he was just 7 lbs up from his best, if hattons wants one last fight im not sure if oscar is the right foe -

    The weight was not the reason for Hattons ineffectiveness at 147.

    It would most likely end up as a fixed farce like last weekend. Neither care about enhancing their legacy, it's purely money.

    The last picture of Hatton I saw he looked 45 years old, he's not getting back into any kind of fighting shape now. Even when he was active I'd have picked De La Hoya over him.

    This would make the recent Hopkins-Jones bout look like a high-class match-up between two elites in their very prime.

    Pointless ****.

    I seriously hope Richard doesn't take this fight. It would be a farce.

    i think pacquiao showed which fighter had the better durability at this point of their careers.

    both oscar and hatton are shot to pieces, but hatton has lost his ability in absorbing punches. since the move up against collazo, hatton has been hurt in nearly in every fight. against collazo, he was stunned badly. against urango he was hurt to the body. against mayweather he was knocked out. against lazcano he was stunned. against pacquiao he was knocked out cold. that's it for him now, he's ****ed, he's more ****ed than oscar now, and that's saying something.
