A few days after ruling out ever fighting Hatton, it appears De La Hoya has changed his mind... reports in 2 newspapers over here suggest that DLH will be looking to make a £30million super-fight between him and Hatton at the new Wembley arena here in England! This would happen at Welterweight, and obviously Ricky would have to beat JLC before it happened. Im not sure how many people the new Wembley holds, but it will probably exceed 50,000 easily.

I hope this happens, it would probably be the biggest fight ever to happen in Britian. I hope this happens, and i really dont care who wins cause both guys are 2 of my favourites:thumbsup:

 

[TysonJones]

yes its possible, but as of right now, there is a 14 pound weight disadvantage for hatton. I hear delahoya fighting more guys like cotto or margarito. He wants someone that will trade with him

 

[KNUCKLE UP]

I can't see that fight happening due to weight. I don't see DLH below 154 and Hatton above 147. Hell, I don't see Hatton above 140 right now.

 

[TommyGunn]

money talks guys, i think oscar could defo boil himself down to 147 and 30m would tempt hatton back up to 147 no problem.

 

[SugarShane]

The only certain thing is that it would be a SUPERFIGHT.

 

[LeedsLad]

Yep. Not just in the US either, this would be massive both sides of the pond! Screen this at 4 in the morning over here and i bet it would do 500k buys with ease! Hatton has proved hes at the level, hopefully he will step up to 147 and look just as good!

 

[TysonJones]

lol you think oscar can make 147? i dont. he looks to have a pretty hard time making 154 anymore, if he fought at 147, he would be so weak it wouldnt be fair, but if they fought at 154, oscar would most like ko hatton.

 

[LeedsLad]

Yeh, Hatton couldnt be effective at 154 at all. Oscar did say he could make 147, but at this stage in his career he really doesnt want too and would prefer it at 154. This fight has got to happen at 147, or it wont happen.

 

[Captainobvious]

I completely agree with you Lad.

 

[TommyGunn]

there maybe a catchweight if this fight got made, summin like 150.

 

[LeedsLad]

I was thinking that tommy.. what did Hatton weigh come fight night last night?

And also, to the Americans.. What was the reaction of Kellerman and Lederman to the fight? I heard they were quite critical..

kellerman was calling ricky "hook hook clinch" this nobody also had taylor and floyd winning there last fights by a mile though.

mad max was well named!!

I never liked HBO commentary. Since the Lewis-Tyson fight, it was obvious they were so bias. Tyson was getting his ass whooped, and all they were saying is "Tyson is obviously past his prime" and "Tyson has an awesome chin" and they were barely saying anything positive about Lewis. I like Johnny Nelson, Jim Watt and Glenn McCrory will do for us Brits ehh

those guys at HBO are all for there homeboys, its been so obvious down the years.

IMO jim watt is the best in the busines, his cards are always bang on and he never shows any bias if our boys are getting whupped!

 

[TysonJones]

hbo commentary is awesome

 

[TommyGunn]

hbo commentary is awesome

and very bias!

 

[SugarShane]

Merchant is the worst one. I heard that they called Hatton on his punch and hold tactics that I hate so much.

 

[PrinceNaseem]

lennox lewis is the worst commentator i've heard... if u watch the malignaggi fight...

 

[TommyGunn]

when you watch the fight shane you'll see it was castillo who wanted to hold every time the fight was up close, hatton was having joy on the outside and inside. why would he want to hold on?

 

[LeedsLad]

Yeh, i think Lewis is a krap commentator. Lederman is an asshole really, he really seems to hate Taylor and Floyd when he was interviewing them after there fights:laugh: HBO is bias sometimes, but for some fights they do good commentary. I actually like RJJ as a commentator..
