Question

Do you think Hatton will unify the division in the next 2 years by winning the IBF, WBC, WBA and WBO belts?

Answer 1

No, I think he has a few fights left. His style does not warrant a long career. As a fan of Boxing I respect the young man but I would like to see him win two belts and stroll off into the sunset. He can man handle the Jr. Welters. Just stay away from the big boys. He would have done a better job against Mayweather at 140 pounds. I do not care how much he eats between fights. He is too small to fight above 140 pounds. God bless him though because he is a throw back. I would love to see him fight my boy Mosley just to give us Boxing fans a treat and me a victory as a Mosley fan (ha ha).

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

He really doesn't need to fight all of the titlists because he is already regarded as the lineal and true champion at 140 pounds.  After he faces Juan Lazcano in May, he will most likely fight the IBF titleholder Paul Malignaggi as long as Paulie wins his rematch against Lovemore N'dou and Ricky beats Lazcano (they are fighting on the same card on May 24th in England).  If he beats Malignaggi, then the only other titleholder that I want to see him face is the WBC titleholder Junior Witter.  Most people would also like to see this fight because Witter has called Hatton out on numerous occasions and the fans want to see who is really the best junior welterweight in the world.  Hatton is the champ, but he has yet to face his number one contender, and I think that Witter deserves some of the spotlight and exposure that has gone to Hatton for so long now.  I think that both Malignaggi and Witter would be good challenges for Hatton, and I think both would have a good chance at beating him because Ricky has trouble with good, slick boxers (Luis Collazo, Floyd Mayweather, Jr.).  I could care less about him fighting the other two titleholders (Ricardo Torres and Andreas Kotelnik).
