"If he isn't blinded by the false promise of future fights against men as big as Collazo but who punch much harder, he'll know where he belongs. Right where he made his name. At the top of the junior welterweight division. There's certainly no shame in that."

Its a good read......

Yes, good article – thanks Ali.

Hatton deserves a lot of credit for a brave win against a very under-rated opponent IMO. We have not heard the last of Collazo.

I agree entirely with the point that Hatton’s future should be back at light-welter.

Does anyone think the fight will be good for hatton, he should have realised he has a lot of defficiancies (and apparently no jab) it could be that he learns a lot from this. I would certainly like to see a rematch.

Could be good for him yeah.

I'd give him a chance to prove it was an off night or so.

I would be absolutely staggered if there is a rematch.

Hatton has survived a tough fight and doesn’t need to do it again at that weight.

I think a lot will depend on Hatton himself. I can't see him moving back down in weight and fighting a non title fight as it seems the belts really mean a lot to him. The WBA and IBF are vacant and he's obviously not going to want to fight for them against M'Baye and Rabah. I know they are talking about the Corrales v Castillo winner next but I think the fight that makes sense next would be Cotto for the WBO belt.
