Hi Netty, Hatton is definitely fighting on the 24th, but his opponent hasn't been confirmed yet but your tickets should still be valid for that date. If you could see him against Junior Witter it'd be a better fight but I don't think that one's going to happen. Still should be a good night out though :grin:

Really, I am not so sure to be honest. :think:
Still it would be an awesome fight regardless.
I wouldn't be so sure about that seeing as Mayweather is way out of Witters league.
45,000 tickets sold on the first day, pretty impressive.

LOL:rofl:
Mayweather is a multi-weight, pound4pound, all time great. Witter is a half decent champion, who Hatton would beat, and quite convincingly IMO.

Not a chance. Mayweather is a world class fighter, pound for pound the best in the world and he showed that against Hatton. Hatton would beat Witter.

Hatton would beat Witter, I don't think Witter is near as skillful, smart, quick or as strong as Mayweather. Plus if they fought it'd be at Light-Welterweight (140lbs) Hattons natural and strongest weight, against Mayweather he had to step up to fight a bigger man.
As a lot of the above have pointed out Mayweather is seriously good, the best in the world right now. He will go down as one of the greats of all time, his list of victories include Hatton, De La Hoya, Gatti, Judah, Castillo (in his prime twice), Corrales. Though he can be an annoying shit!

i'll take bets of anyone here who fancies hatton against witter,
coat tszu..was a has been fighter who hadnt had a fight in 2 years,and the country goes mad over it,
comes up against a fighter in mayweather who hatton honestly believed he could beat and gets slaughtered,witter is far to classy too fast too good,
prahaps when hatton loses another fight he will take up witters challenge,when hattton needs him rather than the other way around,i dont think ive ever seen a more one dimentional boxer than hatton,if his left hook to the body's not working the bloke looks lost,dont get me wrong hes a very good fighter but up against anyone who's also very good as well he will always struggle in my book,
time will tell,

I would take bets as well. What price would you give me and what is the maximum I could bet?

I'd have to think about taking that bet as well. It's not going to happen though, latest is that Mayweather is considering a rematch with Hatton, which I think is a mistake, cause Ricky is not in the same league as him, and could get beaten worse the next time they meet.

If Hatton were to fight Mayweather 5 times at Welterweight, he most probably would win only one fight. I cannot see Mayweather fighting him again, as that bridge has been crossed. After the Del La Hoya money making exercise in September, I can only see Cotto as Mayweather's next opponent.

Cotto-Mayweather would be class. As for the other story :

That would be great if it happened and it could because Maywether is a money hoe. But I doubt Hatton would stand a chance as both times he has fought at Welterweight, he has looked pants.

Mayweather - Cotto would be a great match up 
....even tho i totally agree that Hatton would love to FM if they had a rematch. Would still love to see a rematch at Wembley, cause means i could go

I've had to sell my tickets cos of my poorly dog. Have just bought it to watch on Sky though.
Looking foward to it, Hatton's younger brother is fighting as well, should be a good night!
Here's the line up:

I see the standby fight is a lad from Birkenhead - my home town!!
