He'll fight Hatton at Wembley on a Sunday night in May regardless of the winner apparently.

This is a quote from Hattons lawyer who said negotiations are quite advanced.

The reason behind the Sunday fight time is that If it was on a Sunday night it would fit in with the Americans who like to watch their sport on a Sunday afternoon.

De La Hoya also wants to break attendance and Box Office records before he retires and apparently see's fighting Hatton at Wembley as the way to do it.

Interesting, Thanks Kurt there was another boxer mention that started with "C"

Would be a great fight and probably be sellout if Hatton wins on Saturday

Miguel Cotto.

Superb fighter. He beat Sugar Shane Mosely last month. An absolute monster.

If I was Hatton I'd steer well clear but he'll have to fight him at some point if he wins on Saturday.

Floyd's been succesful in giving Cotto the wide bearth so far but if he wins on Saturday there'll be a hugle clamour for that fight.

The only way I can see a re-match is if it goes to points and there's a close decision. Even then if Mayweather wins he'll move on because it probably wont be written into his side of the bargain to give Ricky a re-match. He enters the Champion and if he stay's the Champion then that'll be it. If Hatton wins though I'm certain that there'll be a re-match clause but Floyd might have to come over here and fight to get it.

If the fight ends in KO either way then there'll be no need for a re-match.

Apparently Cotto will be ringside at the fight to make his intentions clear.

Yep, I've heard similar things. Expect someone from HBO talking to him before the match

I think, and this is just my opinion, that Cotto is probably the best in the Welterweight Division.

He was starting to flag at Light-Welter and looked really weight drained but since he's moved up it looks like there's no stopping him.

Here you are. Have a look at this little Cotto compilation. It gives you an idea of how relentless he is.
