Hatton will be in Las Vegas to watch Castillo v Corrales

Hatton, the WBA welterweight champion, aims to meet the victor as Castillo and Diego Corrales resume their rescheduled epic lightweight rivalry.

Hatton's father and manager Ray said: "We have heard rumours Castillo will jump to welterweight afterwards and fight Miguel Cotto.

"But if not Ricky would like to fight the winner."

Meanwhile, Hatton's co-promoter Dennis Hobson has hit back at American fight-maker Bob Arum's description of Hatton as "a relatively ordinary fighter".

"Ricky and I will be ringside for that fight and we think we can do business with the winner," said Hobson.

"Ricky v Castillo or Corrales would be the fight of the year, any year."

Arum, who promotes WBO light welterweight Miguel Cotto and former lightweight king Castillo, was unimpressed by Hatton's WBA welterweight title win over Luis Collazo earlier this month.

"Hatton has been exposed pretty much as being a relatively ordinary fighter based on his last fight," said Arum.

"I don't think he is going to be ready to fight anybody real soon as long as he can grab HBO money to fight second-rate fighters."

Hobson insisted that Hatton was prepared to face anybody but questioned Cotto's credentials.

"Let's be realistic. Castillo - or Corrales if he wins - v Ricky is a bigger fight than Castillo or Corrales v Cotto," said Hobson.

"With the greatest respect to Cotto, he isn't in Ricky's league in terms of international recognition.

"Ricky is a three-time, two division world champion, a Ring magazine champion and the winner of every Fighter of the Year Award going.

"But Cotto is yet to win a genuine world belt. He's still in the kiddie pool with waterwings on. He's at WBO title level and is struggling to keep hold of that.
