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

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?
