    whatever it is, it needs to be at 147 if he still wants to be considered in the pfp top ten list. Malignaggi is the IBF champ at 140 and Cotto already whipped his ass and Cotto himself isnt really on the list yet.

    i would say that Hatton should fight Judah(maybe), Clottey or the winner of the Baldomir/Forrest match next. that would set him in the right path to face the winner of Cotto vs. Margarito/Williams, Mosley or Mayweather soon after that.

    any fight at 140 really wont do anything for him. also, fighting Gatti at 147 would be exciting as hell but there's simply better matchups then that for him.

    edit: and one other thing, stay away from Delahoya!!

    LOL@ Natural weight is 140.. Sureeeee, thats why when hes not fighting he looks like an elephant. He walks around at close to 190lbs so obviously 140 is NOT his natural weight

    I would love to see him fight the winner of Witter vs Harris (esp if it's Harris) but Harris won the title eliminater in February and the fight still hasn't been made.

    It's not so easy for a man who is 5 6" with a 65 inch reach to move up to welterweight and be dominant.Hatton would be at a size dissadvantage against even the smaller fighters who have moved up.I don't see any choice but for Hatton to move up in weight if he wants to make major money but his undefeated streak will be over in short order.

    My friend I'm from new york and I'm far from a Hatton fan. I'm actually a Harris fan.

    Joel Casamayor the sanctioning bodies are screwing him around he should move up since he getting old and take this fight, I'm sure it would be a close fight also a tough test for Hatton.

    I would like to see him fight Witter next so all the ducking bull**** can be put to rest. Then hopefully he can move up to 147 and take on Cotto and Mawyweather.

    Never really thought of Castillo as a real challenge, just a good opponent. Did not foresee such an ending though, and I do not think that he is that shot either. Just an excuse people bring up way to often when a favoured fighter (by them) loses.

    I would like to see Hatton either move up to face the name fighters, which he should not do if he is not planning to stay, or stay at 140 to fight the other beltholders. I would also like him to win belts and defend them against none handpicked opponents.

    Personally, I would rather have him stay at 140 because I think the best at 147 are too big for him.
