Hatton: "I Want De La Hoya or Pacquiao, Then Retire"

[El Dominicano]

I think Hatton can beat Pacquiao, but he's not getting passed Oscar.

Mayweather power was too much for Hatton. How will Hatton handle DLH.

Ricky Hatton wants to end his career with a ****. He is pretty focused on facing IBF junior welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi in New York or Las Vegas in November, but if he wins, he wants to fight either WBC lightweight champion Manny Pacquiao or former six-dvision champion Oscar De La Hoya in 2009. Hatton wants to have two more fights before retirement with the Pacquiao/De La Hoya bout being the last of his career. [details]

I thought Ricky was whining because the 147 pound Floyd was "too big". How about the 165 pound Oscar?

Where are the Hatton cumguzzlers? ricky is doing EXACTLY the same thing Floyd was doing... trying to make big fights outside of his weight class.

C'mon, Ricky...Unify the 140 belts.

What a bunch of haters.


Hatton will beat Mallignaggi in New York, then batter Paquicao in London and then Pretty Boy will come running for a rematch, but Hatton will call the shots this time.

Why would Hatton call the shots after getting his ass handed to him? I mean, he was completely exposed with counters, flush shots that made his head snap all the way back. He was outboxed on the inside, outside, and barely landed anything significant at all. Against Luis Collazo, he hugged the whole night. After a shaky start, Lue proceeded to kick the **** out of him and had him out on his feet in the 12th, yet was robbed just so Ricky could generate money for HBO. The one undeniably impressive thing about ricky is his huge, loyal fanbase.

Look, I don't dislike him, he has made for some good action fights, but lets be serious about where this guy stands among the elite. He isn't even the top 140 pounder imo. He has to get by Malignaggi and face Torres, Holt, Bradley, Witter, Demetrius Hopkins, Steve Forbes, Ngoudjo, Gavin Rees etc. Beating a way-over-the-hill Castillo (who would have annhilated Hatton pre-Corrales btw) does little to establish supremacy in a division where he hasn't fought 9/10 top ten fighters.

Mayweather is worlds above him in skill. Your scoring alone for the fight proves how biased you are and the fact that u use it as your sig shows how emotional you get over your boy Hatton, which is ok. I love certain fighters too, but I'm not gonna waste any more time defending my views on Ricky with you. And don't say its cause I'm an American either that I feel this way. I like David Haye, Calzaghe , Gavin Rees, Prince Naseem, Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn, etc. I like Ricky too, but these are just the facts. Deal...

floyd is on another level to hatton in terms of skills. hatton is my favourite fighter and i dont like mayweather but i still admit he is a huge talent. before this fight hatton was loved and respected and because he lost to floyd he seems to be shot. he beat lazcano easily which he deserves credit for afta his first loss.
as for the mayweather fight i do believe cortez influenced the fight. simply because hatton was never going to outbox floyd which is what happened. the only way he and everyone knew he stood a chance is if he made the fight ugly similar to the tzsyu match. if he stopped floyd from running around like he does then floyd would have to brawl which isnt his style. hatton wanted the match to be ugly but cortez stopped that from happening. he didnt even let any holding whatsoever. however hatton cannot make excuses because he had to box but if he was allowed to use his rough house tactics he would have stood a better chance against floyd at the very least

[WESS]

yeah, Cortez really loved Hatton, breaking the fighters up before they even touched then taking a point of him for touching a rope. Its irrelevant whether Vegas likes Mayweather because nowhere in the world likes him but thats his home town and he got the ring made bigger the fcuking wuss

There was a reason Mayweather starting bitching about referees 3/4 months before the fight, well his plan worked and Cortez was in his pocket and Mayweather cheated his way through the fight

dude are serious, are you serious? no better yet ARE YOU DUMB?.... how does the REF have anything to do with MONEYS speed that just KILLED your HERO.... lol you SILLY SILLY GOOSE.... get off the crack jack.... MONEY beat HATTON SO BAD the dude has NEVER BEEN THE SAME.... I wonder why he's retiring? Because his ASS WHOOPINGS are just NOW HAPPENING and he cant handle REAL COMPETITIVE P4P FIGHTERS (Mayweather, PAC MAN and De La Hoya) lol Get over him... Del La Hoya would have his way with him and PAC MAN will just dance all night around him and LAND AT WILL. I like HATTON he brings the best out of FIGHTERS... and i have much respect for him. But he will NEVER in a million years BEAT PAC MAN or a Del La Hoya, especially a Del La Hoya that came out to fight MONEY MAY last year. I dont understand how you have Hatton at like what your top 1, 2, and 3. lol with Mayweather under him. lol keep up the good work buddy.....
