    If I was Hattons manager.

    Malinagie
    Mayweather
    Pac


    Malinagie to fight Witter at a later date and paulie hopefully beats him thus underlining the superiority of Hatton.

    Thats what I would say if I was his manager, Witter is to much risk for next to no gain.

    I'm surprised that so many would put Hatton back in the ring with Mayweather only to get his ass knocked around again. I, along with many others, thought that he'd match up much better than he did, but it's a mismatch. With the three fights I listed, Hatton has a realistic shot at effectively clearing out the 140lb division along with a big money fight with Pac. All three are highly winable fights.

    Malinaggi
    Witter
    Cotto

    Then, and only then, does he deserve a Mayweather rematch.

    Torres would be interesting, the guys got a lot of heart and was almost able to beat Cotto at 140.

    Torres is interesting, but is comparatively high risk/low reward.

    Cotto would lay his ass out. Malignaggi would be the best choice after lazcano b/c hes a good tv fighter and doesnt have much in the way of power to threaten Hatton with. It would also help him cement his legacy at 140

    Hatton - Cotto would be a war. Regardless of outcome it would kick ass. And I wouldn't write Hatton off so easily, he's a legit world-class fighter. Every boxing fan ougt to be begging for it if Cotto - Mayweather doesn't happen.

    I give Hatton about a 30% chance at 147. Chances are good he'd get ****ed up. He'd get points for having balls though.

    If I'm his manager this is how I want to plot the rest of his career.

    1. Malagnaggi
    2. Pacquioa
    3. Torres
    4. Witter

    But this is how I see it going.

    1. Malagnaggi
    2. Pacquioa
    3. Witter (cause the public demand will be too high to ignore this fight or put it off)
    4. Torres fight never happens cause by then he has been beaten. So hatton retires cause he has nothing left to prove.


    Or I can also see this happening

    1. Malagnaggi
    2. Mayweather
    3. Retire or fight Pacquioa

    If it was me:

    1-Paulie Malagnaggi for title belt, money purposes

    2-Junior Witter for the sole puprose of clearing up any preconceived notion of "ducking". Not to mention it'd do huge in the UK.

    3-Oscar De La Hoya for the money purposes

    Pick 3 easy fights and fill the City of manchester Stadium for a big pay days then call it a day.

    We will hate it, but if they are smart, thats what they will do
