Hatton says no to Oscar, for now.

Hatton rejects Oscar fight!
IBO 140lb champion Ricky Hatton will not step in for retired Floyd Mayweather in a big money bout against his promoter Oscar de la Hoya in September. Hatton's father and business manager told BBC Sport that "The Hitman" is focused on a November fight with IBF jr welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi. Other names bandied about in the media as Oscar's new opponent include Winky Wright and the winner between Miguel Cotto-Antonio Margarito. An announcement is expected this week from Golden Boy regarding Oscar's plans. Team Hatton, meanwhile, is relishing the possibility of a clash with Manny Pacquiao, should he win the WBC 135lb crown against David Diaz.

Hatton wants a mega fight where he's the bigger man this time apparently.

Smart move by Hatton ... I think maybe he realizes that he can't fight at 147.

Yeah because if he thought Floyd hit hard @ 147.
