Seems more likely that Hatton v Pacquio will take place next year by the sounds of that and that probably makes more sense for Hatton than De La Hoya does. For a start, he'd be at his natural weight. That would be brutal aswell, both exciting to watch and love to throw punches.

How does Hatton v De La Hoya make sense? Hatton will have to go to at least 147, possibly to 150lbs to fight Oscar. His sheer size would be too much for Hatton. Pacman is stepping up the ranks and is now a lightweight. Neither fights are perfect matches, but they are "Superfights" and that's what attracts the money men.

Pacquiao fights at super-feather (130lbs) and is big at the weight. Hatton has been most effective at light-welter (140lbs). I reckon Pac Man could handle a move up to 140lbs without losing too much effectiveness.

I see Ordinary Harrison is fighting Prizefighter winner Martin Rogan,i expect Rogan to win and Harrison to announce another comeback!
This Oakey v Francis fight is what you call a proper tear up,they looked like they had gone 12 rounds after 3,great stuff.
I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read on the train. a.k.a. saintrocknrolla ont thexbox !
Watched Kell Brook beat Barrie Jones tonight on Setanta and he looks a real talent. The comparisons to Prince Naseem might be a bit extreme but he's still one to definitely keep an eye on, big future for him if he can keep out of trouble.

If Tony Oakey had a punch to match his work rate then he'd be a quality fighter. Sadly he hasn't, and when you get that far up the weight divisions you need to be able to bang at least enough to keep the other guy off you.
Francis eventually just walked through him and made his superior power tell.

I've read that with Harrison on that bill will be Enzo Maccarinelli, Gavin Rees, Matthew Macklin and even the one and only Curtis Woodhouse! I'm not sure I entirely believe that but if it happens I'll be getting tickets asap!
