    They should do it with Junior Witter as the special guest referee

    I'd like to see this, although I doubt it happens, Hatton seems content not fighting, as does Oscar, and the fight would HAVE! to be at 154 at least, cause no way would Oscar agree to make 147 again.

    Dunno whos more shot...

    You have Oscar who can not throw a punch with any snap, can't find that trigger.

    And then Ricky who has poor punch resistance.

    Ahh, it's just a bit of publicity to get Hatton's name back in the press, it's never going to happen.

    Won't happen but if it did I might be crazy but I'd take Hatton. Still has the tools offensively in the Pac and Malignaggi fights. It's more physically he's ****ed punch resistance wise and stamina down the stretch. But against a gunshy fighter that has zero snap that might not be a huge factor, even against the bigger man where Hatton struggles.

    With Dave Parris he could definitely do it :lol:

    Nah, in all seriousness, he would have a better shot, cause Oscar cant react as quick, so catching Hatton coming in, might be an issue, and once Hatton got inside, I dont think Oscar would cope well with his mauling aggression.

    Could be somewhat like the Zoo fight in terms of, once he got inside Oscar's long range, he would be nullified somewhat cause he does not have a great inside game.

    I always found this is a weird match-up even when both were near their prime, so it seems even more pointless now.
