I can see Hatton-Mayweather not happening....

[Rocky Balboa]

Just read on BBC teletext Hatton's preferred choice for his next fight, is in fact, NO.1 contender, Ben Rabah (might not be the right spelling).

With this in mind, & Mayweather/De La Hoya both stating they want to face each other later this year, I cannot see Hatton-Mayweather happening in the near future.

I think Ricky may even be frozen-out! Mayweather will not favour a Hatton fight over a De La Hoya bout, obviously because he will stand to make more £ for fighting Oscar.

Also, Gatti-Baldamoir is scheduled for July 22nd. Where does Hatton & 'fighting the best oppoents out there' come into this? I am concerned for Ricky; 2005 was a great year for him, but if he does not start fighting to top, top guys, the big fights, bug money etc, he could lose motivation & desire.

Who agrees/disagrees with me in this & whats your feeling on this?
