Frank says due to money. They may go for the winner of Gatti/Mayweather now.

Personally I don't mind that much, Corrales is really good but I think Hatton's fought far too many lightweights already, and I really don't think Corrales could beat Hatton. It's be an entertaining fight for a while but there's plenty of better matchups at ten stone..

I'm down with Mr Bassie.

While it'd look fornicating awesome on the record and in the history books, in a consensus reality kind of way it doesnae prove jack, as they say.

fornicate, the Gatti / Mayweather winner -- or Cotto (while the lad's still unbeaten) -- or Viv Harris...

Maybe less marquee value, but I'd rather watch any of those.

Yep. And depends on what he wants. An easy(er) fight or an attractive fight.

IMO, easiest is 1) Harris 2) Cotto 3) Gatti/Floyd winner

but in terms of predtige/marquee whatever, it's 1)Gatti/Floyd 2) Cotto, 3) Harris
