    Hatton should finish his career like this

    lazcano (done)
    Malignaggi
    Bradley
    Pacquio
    then if he has won them and convincing enough then maybe rematch with flyod!

    Someone light fisted.

    I think the myth of Hatton's ability to take shots has been completely blown out of the water now. He's been rocked by fighters known as mediocre punchers (or far past prime) and KO'ed by Mayweather, who's homerun right hands stopped hurting top level fighters at 135. Getting rocked by Juan in his last fight is the final clipping in the evidence file.

    We'll see him against Malignaggi and then an immediate petition to fight Mayweather or De La Hoya for some big bucks. Mayweather will easily beat him again (maybe KO) and Oscar will thrash his ass for as long as Hatton can keep getting up. Think De La Hoya-Gatti. His people know it, but it makes tons of cash, and it's just a matter of time before some unheralded challenger KO's him at 140 and kills their goose before he can lay one more golden egg.

    Yeah, he looked awsome against a dude who looked bad against a rapidly declining Harris (who was blowing hard by the third round). A inactive rusty version of that dude. A dude who hurt him at least twice in that fight. He also looked good against a version of Castillo that was doing a rubber leg shuffle within the first round from weight-drain fatigue... and got rocked by him, too.

    Bottom line: Hatton's heavy drinking and blowing up to massive proportions betweens fights equals a short career with stamina problems. His clutching is his only real defense against fatigue, and it's just not crowd pleasing. All that loss of reflex time and conditioning from weight draining will leave him getting caught more often by hard counters, and he doesn't have the chin to survive it.

    If you know Hattons style well you would know he not looked that good stylistically for years, picked his shots beautifully compared to steaming in with his face of recent, lateral movement much better and looked very sharp....its not rocket science.

    And lesser men than Juan would have crumpled under some of those shots mid way through the fight....

    the direction is all pointing towards pac or malignaggi. Hatton-malignaggi in the U.K or in MSG would be ****ing huge. Hatton-pac is also huge, probably a bigger fight in Las Vegas or in the U.K. although i think a pac fight would not be in the U.K and would be likely vegas

    I only see him having another three fights before he calls it a day. I hope he takes out Malignaggi next and then perhaps fights, and beats Bradley. If he could finish his career against Pacman it would top of a great career. I don't see him rematching Floyd.

    If Paulie is injured I think he'll favour Bradley over Torres.
