Looking at Ricky Hatton’s Next Fight if He Loses to Pacquiao
By Chris Williams: There’s no time better than the present to start planning for Ricky Hatton’s next fight after his almost guaranteed loss to Manny Pacquiao on May 2nd. Depending on how badly he’s beaten by Pacquiao, he’ll possibly have to dip really low to find someone serviceable to beat that won’t put him in danger of being knocked out. Pacquiao will probably give him a thorough beating before finishing him off, so it’s best to plan on finding someone that doesn’t have a whole lot of power that could be troublesome potentially for Hatton on the rebound.
